Chapter 4 Robotics

A manual rate control box translates high-level languages into machine code.

With __ motion, the end effector follows a fixed pattern of movement and allows for two positions per axis.

Programming languages that closely resemble English are __ languages.

Manual programming does not require an operator skilled in the use of computers.

In teach pendant programming, an operator adjust end stops, switches, and hoses to set up the motion sequence.

With ___ motion, control of the end effector's path is more important than the end point positioning.

Off-line programming is performed using a computer that is not connected to the robot.

The __ generation of robots evolved through the use of artificial intelligence.

Hierarchical control systems use sensory feedback to affect how the robot responds.

In __ programming, the user specifies the goals of each task rather than the motions required to achieve the goal.

A __ is a set of instructions within a program that has a beginning and an end.

Using a great number of points in ____ motion creates movement that is smooth and continuous.

Which program method allows a robot to remain in operation while a new program is written and debugged.

The __ level in hierarchial control programming recieves commands for elemental moves.

In continuous-path motion, an operator leads the robot through various positions invloved in an operation.

In hierarchical control programming, __ are structured in levels.

A(n) __ program translates high-level languages into machine code.

The __ generation of robots were the first used in industry.
