4. A cobots as an apparatus and method for interaction between ________ and ________
a) person and computer
b) Device and computer
c) Device and human
d) Human and
Answer: a
Clarification: A cobots as an apparatus and method for direct physical interaction between a person and a general purpose manipulator controlled by a computer.
5. The cobots assured human safety by having no internal source of ________
a) General motors
b) Safe equipment
c) Industrial material
d) Motive power
Answer: d
Clarification: The first cobots assured human safety by having no internal source of motive power. It is a natural agent, used to impact motion to machinery such as engine.
6. Motive power was provided by the human worker.
a) True
b) False
Answer: a
Clarification: The first cobots assured human safety by having no internal source of motive power. Motive power was provided by the human worker.
7. Cobots function was to allow computer control of motion by ________
a) Motors
b) Human worker
c) Payload
d) Power
Answer: c
Clarification: Cobots function was to allow computer control of motion, by redirecting or steering a payload, in a cooperative way with human worker. Later cobots provided limited amounts of motive power as well.
8. IAD stands for ________
a) Intelligent Assist Device
b) Industrial Assist Device
c) International Assist Device
d) Informative Assist Device
Answer: a
Clarification: The general motors team used the term Intelligent Assist Device as an alternative to cobot, especially in the context of industrial material handling and automotive assembly operations.
9. Cobots is also called as _______
a) ICD
b) IBD
c) IMD
d) IAD
Answer: d
Clarification: The general motors team used the term Intelligent Assist Device as an alternative to cobot, especially in the context of industrial material handling and automotive assembly operations.
10. BAXTER is which type of robot?
a) Humanoid robot
b) Industrial robot
c) Hospital robot
d) Workspace robot
Answer: b
Clarification: Universal robots released its first cobot, in 2008. Rethink Robotics released an industrial cobot, Baxter, in 2012.
11. ________ is the simplest method of collaborative robots and is used in applications when human interaction with robot is less.
a) Self monitored stop
b) Speed and separation monitoring
c) Power and force limiting
d) Hand guiding
Answer: a
Clarification: Self monitored stop is the simplest method of collaborative robots and is used in applications when human interaction with robot is less.
12. Which type of collaborative robot installation also traditional industrial robots?
a) Self monitored stop
b) Speed and separation monitoring
c) Power and force limiting
d) Hand guiding
Answer: b
Clarification: This type of collaborative robot installation also uses traditional industrial robots, but it is more suited for environments where employees will be frequently interacting with the robot.
13. _________ robots are the most collaborative of the types.
a) Self monitored stop
b) Speed and separation monitoring
c) Power and force limiting
d) Hand guiding
Answer: c
Clarification: Power and force limiting robots are the most collaborative of the types mentioned and they are the only ones that can truly work alongside humans without any additional safety devices and process interruption.
14. __________ robot allows a programmer to teach robot paths and positions.
a) Self monitored stop
b) Speed and separation monitoring
c) Power and force limiting
d) Hand guiding
Answer: d
Clarification: Hand Guiding is a collaborative feature that some robots have. It allows a programmer to teach robot paths and positions simply by moving the robot their hand to the desired positions.
15. All collaborative robot applications should follow ISO 10218.
a) True
b) False
Answer: a
Clarification: All collaborative robot applications should follow ISO 10218. However, not all processes are applicable to collaborative robots, which is why a risk assessment needs to be done.
