Question

Q. Consider the following statements with reference to Robotic Terminology:

Which of the above statements is/are incorrect?

• A. 1 and 3 only
• B. 2 only
• C. 3 only
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D None of the above

Explanation:

All statements are correct

• Actuator: A power mechanism used to affect motion, or maintain the position of the robot, for example, a motor that converts electrical energy to affect the motion of the robot. The actuator responds to a signal received from the control system.
• Optical Encoder: A detection sensor, which measures linear or rotary motion by detecting the movement of markings past a fixed beam of light. This can be used to count revolutions, identify parts, etc
• Transducer: A device that converts energy from one form to another. Generally, a device that converts an input signal into an output signal of a different form. It can also be thought of as a device that converts static signals detected in the environment (such as pressure) into an electrical signal that is sent to a robot’s control system.
