Robotics - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔the science and technology behind the design,
manufacturing and application of robots.
, STEM - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
Robot - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔a programmable mechanical device that can perform
tasks.
Control System - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔coordinates all aspects of the robot.
Manipulators - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔components that provide the robot with the ability
to interact with its environment. One example would be a gripper.
Drivetrain - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔the robotics subsystem that provides the ability to
move around the field.
Central Processing Unit (CPU) - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔the computer that filters the
information collected from the sensors and responds by making decisions using logic.
Subsystem - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔the specific component of the robot that includes the
drivetrain, control system, and the manipulators.
Sensors - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔devices that collect input from the environment and
provide information that the CPU can respond to.
Actuator - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔a servomechanism that supplies and transmits a
measured amount of energy for the operation of another mechanism or system.
Servo - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔a type of motor that is only able to move 150 degrees.
Servo - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔a type of motor that is only able to move 150 degrees.
Light Sensor - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔device that uses a photo cell which allows the robot
to detect and react to light.
