| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What was the first ever mobile robot | Shakey |
| what is a vector | a quantity with direction and magnitude. |
| what is a scalar | a scalar is like a vector but only with magnitude |
| define a joint movement | the quickest path to the desired destination that is not necessarily linear |
| define a linear movment | a straight path taken by a robot to an entry or exit point. |
| define a circular movement | A movement around a certain point in a circular motion along a robots path. |
| define a spline movement | A path of different defined points along with the robot will travel. |
| what is Cartesian programing. | programming that involves the use of pre programmed x y and z coordinates to make simpler the task of dimensional programming. |
| what is a control system | a control system is a device that controles, commands or regulates other systems. |
| define hydraulic | hydraulics are a piece of hardware that are powered via fluids. |
| define pneumatics. | pneumatics are peaces of hardware powered via gasses. |
| define direct drive | a direct drive mechanism is one where the primary motor or torque generator directly acts upon whatever its powering. |
| define degrees of freedom | the number of joints or axis of movement the robot is capable of. |
| define end of arm tooling | devices hat can by attached to the end of a robot arm with the purpose of giving that robot a new capability. |
| define work envelope | the area in which the robots working arm is capable of reaching. |
| define Cartesian | the Cartesian coordinates system is one that defines every point on a graph uniquely with a set of real number coordinates. |
| define SCARA | a type of robot that stands for Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm or Selective Compliance Articulated Robot Arm. They are used for picking up and placing things and doing things precisely. |
| define preventative maintenance. | the act of preforming regular maintenance and upkeep on robotic systems to keep them up and running. |
| define alarm conditioning. | a state in which the system has identified that a situation requiring operator notification and action is required. Essentially the system isn't working properly. |
| Define entry and exit points. | The entry and exit point is a point apart from where the robot is operating to which the robot will go to before begin its operation on whatever it may be operating on. |
| define teach pendant | handheld device that typically comes with industrial robots, that are used to control the operation of the robot. |
| define voltage | an electromotive force or potential electric difference. |
| define current | a flow of electricity through a circuit |
| define resistance | the opposition to electric flow |
| what is a multimeter | a device used to measure volts, amps and ohms in a circuit |
| ac vs dc current | dc is one way flow, ac is flow that constantly changes directions. |
| define identifier | another name for variables that represent/ hold data. |
| define operators. | the operation signs like addition subtractions multiplication and division. |
| define operands | something being operated on such as numbers in an equation. |
| define literals | ? |
| define autonomous | capable of acting alone or without human operation |
| what are the data types | int - real whole numbers string - words char - charecters like A B C ect float - decimals |
| define robot home | the base state of the robot that it will return to when done working or before working. |
| define yaw, pitch and roll | yaw is rotating from the top. pitch is angling on the nose line and roll is spimming perpendicular to the nose line. |
| define robot jogging | the act of manually moving the robot with the teach pendent. |
| define Deadman switch | a switch that is designed to trigger upon the death of serious injury of a robots operator. |
| define PM sheet | a sheet that details what the technicians must complete during a maintenance check. |
| the 4 dears | dull, dirty, dangerous, difficult. |
| what do robot technicians do | they are the ones who actually make and install the robots. |
| what do assemblers do | these are the people who build the robots based off of engineer specifications. |
| what do robot operators do | they actually operate the robots and oversee their function. |
| what do robot trainers do | these are experienced technicians who will oversee newer technicians and help them learn the trade, |
| what do robot engineers do | these people design and test prototypes in order to suite whatever needs are required of the robot. |
| What shape is start and stop in flow charts | Oval |
| What shape is input / output in flow charts | Parallelogram / rhombus |
| What shape is processing in flow charts | Rectangle |
| What shape are decisions in flow charts | Diamond |
| What shape are functions in flow charts | Rectangle with bars on either side |
