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.

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






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






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






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






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






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






15. The upkeep of industrial facilities and equipment and/or software






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






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






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






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 control flow statement that allows code to be executed repeatedly






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






22. Try our a new procedure - idea - or activity






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






24. Operated by the action of water or other fluids






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






26. Programs and other operating information used by a computer






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






28. A back and forth movement






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






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






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






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

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






41. A swing back and forth at a regular rate






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






43. The ability to do work






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






45. A gear between the driver and the driven gear used to change rotational direction






46. The space within which a robotic arm can move






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






48. The distance between adjacent threads in a screw






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






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