ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION QUESTIONS-
SKILLS USA REVF WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS
What is a position? - Correct Answers -A set of coordinates that defines a robots
position in a work envelope.
What are the benefits of Variable Programming? - Correct Answers --They are efficient.
-They help better organize and simplify programming.
-Easier to follow.
What is an encoder and what does it do? - Correct Answers -A feedback device in the
robot manipulator arm that provides current position (and orientation of the arm) data to
the controller.
What is the formula for work? - Correct Answers -Work = Force X Distance
True or False? Voltage is the same in all parts of a parallel circuit. - Correct Answers -
True
Input or Output? Stacklight. - Correct Answers -Output
Is Microswitch an Input or Output? - Correct Answers -Input

True or False? Voltage is the same in all parts of a series circuit. - Correct Answers -
False
What does an end effector do? - Correct Answers -An accessory device or tool
specifically designed for attachment to the robot wrist or tool mounting plate to enable
the robot to perform its intended task. (SCORBOT. Gripper)
What is a robot controller and what does it do? - Correct Answers -An information
processing device whose inputs are both the desired and measured position, velocity or
other pertinent variables in a process and whose outputs are drive signals to a
controlling motor or actuator. (R15.02)
What does a robot manipulator do? - Correct Answers -A machine or robotic
