Robot Programming and Decision-Making

The video explains how robots think logically and make decisions using programs and flowcharts. Flowcharts are diagrams that represent decision-making processes, starting with a start block and progressing through action and decision blocks. Decision blocks ask yes or no questions, leading to different actions based on the answers. Loops allow robots to repeat processes, ensuring consistent treatment. The video illustrates how these concepts help robots follow plans and execute commands effectively.

What is the primary way robots make decisions?

• By guessing

• By following human instructions

• Through logical thinking

• Using random choices

What is a flowchart primarily used for in robot programming?

• To design robot hardware

• To represent decision-making processes

• To calculate robot speed

• To store data

What do action blocks in a flowchart represent?

• A behavior the robot should perform

• A question the robot must answer

• The end of the process

• A pause in the program

How does a robot decide which path to take in a decision block?

• By following the yes or no arrow based on the answer

• By choosing randomly

• By flipping a coin

• By asking a human

What happens if a plant is not healthy in the flowchart example?

• The plant is watered

• The plant is moved to a different location

• The light turns red and it is rejected

• The light turns blue

What is the purpose of a loop in programming?

• To change the program's direction

• To repeat a set of steps

• To end the program

• To stop the program

How do robots use loops in their programming?

• To perform tasks once

• To increase speed

• To repeat tasks until a condition is met

• To avoid making decisions

What type of questions do robots ask themselves in decision-making?

• Philosophical questions

• Open-ended questions

• Simple yes or no questions

• Complex mathematical questions

What is the result of a robot following a flowchart?

• Unpredictable behavior

• Consistent and logical actions

• Human-like decisions

• Random actions
