• Sensor integration complicates the navigation process for robots.

• Sensor integration only improves battery life in robots.

• Sensor integration improves robotic navigation by enhancing environmental perception and enabling better localization and mapping.

What is the role of path planning in robotics?

• Path planning is solely for optimizing battery life.

• Path planning enables robots to navigate their environment effectively and safely.

• Path planning helps robots to communicate with humans.

• Path planning is used to improve robot aesthetics.

Describe a common obstacle detection method used in robotics.

• Ultrasonic sensors

• Magnetic sensors

• Lidar systems

• Infrared cameras

What factors influence the design of control systems in robots?

• Type of robot, environment, tasks, precision, sensors/actuators, computational resources.

• Weight of the robot

• Brand of the sensors

• Color of the robot

Explain the significance of kinematics in robotic movement.

• Kinematics has no impact on the speed of robots.

• Kinematics is primarily concerned with the energy consumption of robots.

• Kinematics is only relevant for theoretical physics.

• Kinematics is significant in robotic movement as it enables precise control and coordination of robot motion.

What algorithms are commonly used for path planning?

• Simulated Annealing

• A*, Dijkstra's algorithm, RRT, Potential Field method

• Genetic Algorithm

• Breadth-First Search

How do environmental factors affect sensor performance in robotics?

• Environmental factors improve sensor performance in robotics.

• Sensors are unaffected by environmental conditions.

• Environmental factors can degrade sensor accuracy, response time, and reliability in robotics.

• Environmental factors only impact mechanical components, not sensors.

What is the difference between local and global path planning?

• Local path planning is always more accurate than global path planning.

• Local path planning does not consider obstacles while global path planning does.

• Local path planning is reactive and short-term, while global path planning is proactive and long-term.

• Global path planning is only used in small environments.

How can robots detect and avoid dynamic obstacles?

• Robots avoid obstacles by stopping completely.

• Robots use only cameras to detect obstacles.

• Robots rely on human operators to navigate around obstacles.

• Robots detect dynamic obstacles using sensors and algorithms, and avoid them through path planning.
