TEST WITH WELL EXPLAINES ANSWERS.
Who do we credit as the father of pneumatics, when did he make his discoveries,
and why was this important? - ANSWER Ktesibios or Ctesibius of Alexandria in 285
222 BCE. His discoveries gave man a new power source to work with that is still in
use to this day.
What was the Metal - Plated Warrior, and who created it? - ANSWER A suit of
armor that sat up, opened and closed its arms, moved its head, and opened its visor.
Leonardo Da Vinci
To whom do we give credit for creating the first real androids in human form? -
ANSWER Hans Bullmann
When did Benjamin Franklin conduct his famous kite experiment, and why was it
important. - ANSWER 1752. his experiment proved that lightning is a form of
electricity and lead to his experiments with electricity.
What was the Jacquard loom? Who invented it, and when? - ANSWER An
automated system for looms that used a punch card control system invented in 1804
by Joseph - Marie Jacquard
What are the three things that Nikola Tesla is famous for? - ANSWER Creating the
concept of the AC induction motor, designing the worlds first AC power plant in
Niagara Falls, and patenting his design for a radio - controlled boat.
What are Isaac Asimov's three laws of robotics? - ANSWER First Law - A robot
may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come into
harm.
Second Law - A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except
where which orders would conflict with the first law.
Third Law - A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does
not conflict with the First or Second Law.
What was the first true experimental platform for Artificial Intelligence? - ANSWER
Shakey, created by Stanford
What was the first commercially available microcomputer controlled industrial robot?
- ANSWER A T3 sold by Cincinnati Milacron and designed by Richard Hohn.
When did BEAM robotics come to be, and who created this approach? - ANSWER
1991, by Dr. Mark W. Tilden.
When did work begin on the Robonaut 2 and what historical event was the
Robonaut 2 part of in 2012? - ANSWER 2007 and the first human/robot handshake
in space.
What is the general definition of a robot used in this textbook? - ANSWER A
machine equipped with various data gathering devices, processing equipment, and
tools for operational flexibility and interactions with the systems environment, which

is capable of carrying out complex actions under either programmed control or direct
manual control.
What is an industrial robot as defined by RIA? - ANSWER An automatically
controlled, reprogrammable, multipurpose manipulator programmable in three or
more axes which may be either fixed in place or mobile for use in industrial
automation applications.
Who created the first industrial Robot? - ANSWER DeVilbiss Company
List the four D's of robotics and give an example of each as it relates to industry. -
ANSWER Dull, Dirty, Difficult and Dangerous.
Dull - Repetitive tasks identical in nature
Dirty - tasks that result in human operators covered in something and generally
reduces job satisfaction
Difficult - tasks that require the worker to move in unnatural ways or handle weight in
awkward position
Dangerous - tasks that pose some form of health threat to the person performing
them
List three ways robotics has helped with research. - ANSWER Program testing,
technology proving, gathering dangerous data, space exploration, proof of concept.
What benefit to a patient does a robotic surgical system offer? - ANSWER Reduced
incision size, reduced damage, shorter recovery times or surgical procedures that
once required hospital stays now are out patient type surgeries.
What are some of the mundane tasks that we use robots for around the home? -
ANSWER Sweeping, vacuuming, mopping, pool cleaning and yard mowing.
Compare the top - down and bottom - up approaches to robotic creation. - ANSWER
The Top Down approach is where we start something very complex, such as people
or independent thought, and then try to create something as close to that as possible
with the technology available or derivatives of that technology. The Bottom Up
approach is where the inventor starts with a very simplistic input and control system
and then sees what happens.
What happened with the bottom - up system when put in a synthetic environment? -
ANSWER The systems staked out territories and even fought over these territories
in a way that resembles the insect world.
What does AI stand for, and what is it? - ANSWER Artificial Intelligence, which is
the term used to describe a software or system that has the capacity to make human
type decisions and solve problem intuitively or creatively.
DARPA has a yearly robotic contest. What does DARPA stand for, what kind of
robotic contest does it hold, and what are some of the outcomes from these
contests? - ANSWER Defense Advance Research Projects Agency, yearly
