(be specific and cite your sources) What are two factors that are impeding the increased use of robots and automation? (be specific and cite your sources)
- Is it possible to have 6 Degrees of Freedom with a robot? How many degrees of freedom did your Arduino BOE Robot have? See https://www.motoman.com/en-us/about/company/robotics-glossaryfor more detail.
- What is the difference between an analog and digital sensor? Give an example of each and explain why they are used on robots/automated machinery.
- Why is it important to know the exact rotational location/speed of each motor within a robot?
How are Robot Resolution and Repeatability Related? Give an example of how this relates to the Arduino/Micro:bit BOE Robot that you built and programmed in class.
- 10)Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are used extensively within industry to control automated machinery/work cells. Provide an example of how a PLC is used in a specific industry. Identify the input, output, sensors, and PLC components that are used in that system. Finally, describe how the system functions/operates.
