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. Opposite in position - direction - order - or effect






2. A signal having the characteristic of being continuous and changing smoothly over a given range - rather than switching suddenly between certain levels.






3. A twisting force






4. A back and forth movement






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






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






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






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






9. Containing - producing - arising from - or actuated by electricity






10. The distance between adjacent threads in a screw






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






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






13. A touch sensor used to limit the motion of a moving device. Limit switches may be used to provide a precise beginning and end point to mechanical motion






14. Programs and other operating information used by a computer






15. Using computers to operate and control machines and processes to manufacture a product






16. A company- wide management philosophy for planning - integration - and implementation of automation






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






18. A community - nation - or broad grouping of people having common traditions - institutions - and collective activities and interests






19. A combination of two or more gears used to transmit motion between two rotating shafts or between a shaft and a slide






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






21. Pertaining to or operated by air or other gas






22. A balancing of factors - all of which are not attainable at the same time; giving up one thing in return for another






23. A social science that deals with production - distribution - and consumption of goods and services






24. A person who writes and tests computer programs






25. A swing back and forth at a regular rate






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






27. Movement in a straight line






28. A step- by- step procedure for solving a problem - especially by a computer






29. The efficient production of small amounts of products






30. To function imperfectly or badly






31. The use of technology to ease human labor or to extend the mental or physical capabilities of humans






32. A system that uses feedback from the output to control the input






33. A system of discrete states: high or low - on or off - 1 or 0






34. Information fed into a system






35. A push or pull on an object






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






37. A control system that has no means for comparing the output with input for control purposes. An open - loop system often requires human intervention






38. A control flow statement that allows code to be executed repeatedly






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






40. The ratio of the speed of the driving member of a gear train to that of the driven member






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






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






43. The quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other






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






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






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






47. Something put into a system - such as resources - in order to achieve a result






48. Shorthand notation for programming which uses a combination of informal programming structures and verbal descriptions of a code.






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






50. The results of the operation of any system
