Question | Answer |
articulated | broken into sections by a joint (degrees of freedom) |
binaural hearing | the ability for humans and robots to hear things from different directions |
cartesian coordinate geomentry | just like graphing for math, the axes are always perspendicular to each other |
degrees of freedom | the number of ways the robot manipulator can move |
degrees of rotation | the extent that a robots joint or set of joints can move |
manipulators | robots arms |
resolution | the extention between man and robot, the distance between to objects |
revolute geometry | how a robots arm can rotate 360 degrees |
sensitivity | ability of a machine or robot to see in dim light or sense wavelenths |
telepresence | where the operator is in one spot and the operation is in another (1 mile apart) |
free electrons | create electric current |
monopolar | can cut and coagulate, you need a grounding pad, uses pencil |
bipolar | can only coagulates, dont need grounding pad, is more delicate, uses forcepts |
generator | main part of machine that generates the electricty |
infrared | red beam, waves |
ultraviolet | purple light , waves |
does not go through fluids | co2 laser |
CPU (central processing unit) | brain of the computer |
active electrode | surgical pencil |
dispersive electrode | grounding pad |
harmonic scalpel | uses sound waves to cut and coagulate simutaneously, no grounding pad, no electricity |
argon gas | only coagulates, foot operated, low burn, has beam |
robotic manipulator- pitch | up and down |
robotic manipulator- yaw | right and left |
robotic manipulator- roll | rotating movement |
