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.

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






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






4. A push or pull on an object






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






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






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






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






9. The people available for work in a particular area - firm - or industry






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






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






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






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






14. The results of the operation of any system






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






16. The distance between adjacent threads in a screw






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






18. Operated by the action of water or other fluids






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






20. The efficient production of small amounts of products






21. A swing back and forth at a regular rate






22. A back and forth movement






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






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






25. The ability to do work






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






27. In robotics - provides power to the robot; may supply electricity - hydraulic - power - or pneumatic power






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






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






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






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






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






33. Movement in a straight line






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






35. A sensor that detects physical contact and reports back to the controller whether its contact area is being pushed in or not






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






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






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






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






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






41. The information produced by a computer






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






43. Circular movement






44. 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.






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






46. A connected flexible series of links used for fastening or securing objects and pulling or supporting loads






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






48. Programs and other operating information used by a computer






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






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