Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. The transmission of power between shafts by means of a belt connecting pulleys on the shafts






2. A toothed wheel that works with others to alter the relation between the speed of an engine and the speed of the driven parts






3. The effect or influence of one thing on another. Some impacts are anticipated - and others are unanticipated.






4. The rewriting or revising of a sequence of instructions - especially a computer program






5. The results of the operation of any system






6. A technique that is used to make a process automatic






7. A pivot pin near the outside edge of a wheel or disk that changes rotary motion into reciprocating motion.






8. The member of a pair of gears to which motion and power are transmitted by the other. The output gear






9. The distance between adjacent threads in a screw






10. A mechanical arrangement consisting of a toothed wheel driven by a short revolving cylinder bearing a screw thread






11. Movement in a straight line






12. Information fed into a system






13. Circular movement






14. The ability to bring a desired result with the least waste of time - energy - or material






15. Information about the output of a system that can be used to make adjustments






16. A push or pull on an object






17. Technology dealing with the design - construction - and operation of robots and automation






18. A new product - system - or process that has never existed before - created by study and experimentation






19. A turn where one wheel rotates and the other stays in place - causing the robot's body to 'swing around the stationary wheel






20. The efficient production of small amounts of products






21. The part of a machine which contains two or more pieces arranged so that the motion of one compels the motion of the others






22. In robotics - a series of coded instructions the robot must follow






23. The process of locating trouble and making repairs in machinery and technical equipment






24. An arm- like mechanism on a robotic system which grabs and moves objects with a number of degrees of freedom under automatic control.






25. A building or set of buildings with facilities for manufacturing or producing goods






26. The gear which transmits power and motion to the rest of the system. The input gear






27. Anything your robot does; turning no a motor is a behavior - following a line is a behavior - navigating a maze is a behavior






28. The component of a robot that comes into contact with the work piece and does the actual work on it. Also known as the hand






29. Using descriptive text to explain portions of code. Comments do not change the way a robot behaves - but are important for the programmer to remember what the code does.






30. A level or point at which something would start or cease to happen or come into effect






31. Some factor that restricts the scope of activity or accomplishment






32. A back and forth movement






33. A group of interacting - interrelated - or interdependent elements or parts that function together as a whole to accomplish a common goal






34. Toothlike projections arranged on a wheel rim to engage the links of a chain






35. A turn where one wheel rotates forward and the other rotates backward - causing the robot to sit and spin in place






36. Conforming to a established set principles or accepted professional standards or conduct






37. A rotating gear that meshes wit ha bar that has a gear tooth along its length. Changes rotating motion in a linear motion.






38. A robot is a machine that performs complicated tasks and is guided by automatic controls






39. Set of instructions that control the operation of a computer






40. To function imperfectly or badly






41. The process of detecting and eliminating a device's malfunctions






42. One of a pair of gears used to connect two shafts whose axes intersect






43. Opposite in position - direction - order - or effect






44. A sensor used to measure the angular position of the axle or shaft passing through its center






45. An improvement of an existing technological product - system - or method of doing something






46. Pertaining to or operated by air or other gas






47. In robotics - a tiny computer that acts as the robot's brain and contains the computer program






48. Locating and finding the cause of problems related to technological products or systems






49. A device that detects some important physical quality or quantity about the surrounding environment - and conveys the information to the robot in electronic form






50. Programs and other operating information used by a computer
