Robot Challenge! Start quiz!
1. Which type of robot is used for painting, welding, or packaging? Military Industrial Assistive
Think about this … In a manufacturing situation, like producing cars or cameras, robots would be painting or welding the cars or packaging the cameras. Return
Excellent! Great choice! Those are some jobs for Industrial Robots! Next
2. Robots of this type may be used to help individuals walk or clean. Assistive Entertainment Law Enforcement
Think about this … You might see moving dinosaurs at Disney World, which would be an example of an Entertainment Robot. Law Enforcement Robots could dispose of bombs or observe dangerous locations. Return
Excellent! Assistive Robots help people perform tasks that might be difficult for them such as eating, walking, or vacuuming. Next
3. Which explains why Exploration Robots are so valuable? They have parts that don’t have to be replaced very often. Robots can go underwater and on flat land. They can collect data in areas where humans cannot.
Think about this … Even if they don’t break down very often, Robots still need maintenance or could break down at a bad time. Also, while Robots can go many places, they do not climb well. Return
Excellent! That is right! Humans cannot go into areas with as extreme temperature ranges or places like the surface of Mars. That is why we use Exploration Robots. Next
4. To collect plant samples for the biologists to analyze, which of these would be the best robot to use? Humano Go seek-um Jr. Short Robo-researcher
Think about this … If your robot needed to gather plant samples, think about what type of mechanism it would need. (Hint: End Effector) Return
Excellent! Great job! The Humano has a gripper option so you would be able to grab any plant samples that were needed. Next
5. To make noises like an animal in the rainforest, in hopes of attracting them, which of these robots would be the best to use? Go seek-um Tall Robo-researcher Explorer 7 - AB
Think about this … What key piece of equipment would you need if you wanted your robot to make noises in the rainforest? Return
Excellent! Of course! You would need speakers to play noises to attract the animals! That makes Tall Robo-researcher a great choice. Next
6. Each day you go to the research lab in the rainforest. You have to carry your robot back and forth due to security reasons. You are only monitoring temperature changes in one area for one hour per day. Which would be the best robot for this purpose? Pedro Go Seek-um Robo-power
Think about this … You have to carry this robot back and forth everyday, which could get heavy depending on your hike. Also, you only need it for one hour, so battery life isn’t that important. Return
Excellent! Nice Work! Pedro can last for 2 hours, if needed, and you only have to carry an 8 pound robot back and forth instead of really heavy ones. Next
7. You really need laser capability for your next project, but the recharge time needs to be as short as possible since you don’t have power for very long in the rainforest. Which robot would be best? Go Seek-um Explorer 7 - CD Robo-Power
Think about this … Remember, you need the laser but a short recharge time! Return
Excellent! Super! Robo-Power has the laser you need and only has a 2.5 hour recharge time. Next
8. There is one area, in particular, of the Chilean rainforest that scientists want to study for medicinal purposes. The robot must be able to push as much as possible out of its way and travel difficult terrain. What robot is the best choice? Go seek-um Jr. Go seek-um Explorer 7 - CD
Think about this … Remember, the robot needs to be able to push as much as possible. Plus, check out the Drive mechanisms to see if they are 2 wheel or 4 wheel. Return
Excellent! Wonderful! Go seek-um has 350 pounds of pushing force. Also, it has 4 wheels that are steered independently for that rough terrain. Next
9. The scientists have requested a robot that is able to pick up samples of decaying trees and has the ability to move across the terrain as effectively as possible. They have to carry it to a certain point, so it must be relatively small. Short Robo-researcher Explorer 7 - AB Explorer 7 - CD
Think about this … The robot has to have the ability to pick up the tree samples and move well across difficult territory. Return
Excellent! Great! The Explorer 7 – CD has the gripper option to pick up the tree samples as well as the 4 wheel drive option to be able to move around on difficult terrain. Next
10. Due to some strange noises at night, the scientists want to be able to monitor under the tent stand. They are requesting you provide a robot that is less than one foot high, does not weigh more than 20 pounds, and has at least 10 pounds of pushing force. Pedro Explorer 7 - AB Go seek-um Jr.
Think about this … Remember, the robot has to be less than a foot high and can’t weigh any more than 20 pounds. Are you sure you selected those qualities plus at least 10 pounds of pushing force? Return
Excellent! Super! The Explorer 7 – AB is only 9.5 inches high, weighs 20 pounds, and has 13 pounds of pushing force. Great selection for the scientists.
