Intro to Mechanical Systems and Robotics
questions and answers.
Actuators - correct answers.A specific type o ftransducer that converts energy into
motion; type of motor that is responsible for moving or controlling a mechanism or
system; provides thrust and position in machines
Autonomous Robot - correct answers.A robot that can perceive its environment, make
decisions based on what it perceives and/or has been programmed to recognize and
then actuate a movement or manipulation within that environment
Chassis, Motors, Wheels, Gears - correct answers.Drivetrain
Chassis - correct answers.The structure of a mobile robot that holds wheels, motors,
and/or any other hardware used to make up a drivetrain
Electronic Controllers - correct answers.Use technology that acquires a complete set of
information from the units or the system as a whole, then process such based on the
system rather than single-unit logic so as to ensure optimum control of all components
Manipulators - correct answers.A mechanism that allows a robot to interact with objects
in its environment
Plows - correct answers.Move objects without actually picking them up and are by far
the easiest manipulator type to design and build
Scoop - correct answers.Applies force underneat an object such that the object can be
elevated and carried.
