Try a few questions
- Practice question 1
A robot's power supply provides the energy needed to operate its
- A.control system, sensors, and actuators
- B.printed user manual and warranty documents only
- C.physical packaging and shipping materials only
- D.external marketing and advertising materials only
Show the answer
A. control system, sensors, and actuators
The power supply is what energizes all of a robot's essential functional components.
- Practice question 2
Sensors in a robot allow it to gather information about its surroundings, such as
- A.detecting obstacles or measuring distances
- B.permanently storing its entire programming code
- C.printing physical documents on paper
- D.converting electrical energy into fuel
Show the answer
A. detecting obstacles or measuring distances
Sensors provide a robot with the ability to perceive its environment, such as detecting obstacles.
- Practice question 3
A disadvantage of using robots is the potential for job displacement, as robots may take over tasks previously performed by
- A.only tasks that were never actually performed by anyone
- B.other, entirely different robots
- C.human workers
- D.no one at all, since robots create no such effect
Show the answer
C. human workers
Job displacement, as robots replace human labour in certain tasks, is a widely recognized concern about robotics.
