Robotics Worksheet: Sense, Think, Act

Robotics lesson 2: Sense, think, act · Set 231 · 40 questions

Robot tip (The robot loop): Sense = taking in information with sensors (touch, light, sound, distance, camera). Think = the controller running the program and deciding. Act = doing something: motors move, a gripper grips, a buzzer beeps, a light shines. Then the loop starts again.

19. 19.🔢 To make a robot vacuum avoid a chair, which is the LAST step? (a) the bumper is pressed (b) it decides to turn (c) it drives on (d) the motors turn it
20. 20.🔢 To make a robot vacuum avoid a chair, what comes right after “it decides to turn”? (a) the controller reads it (b) the bumper is pressed (c) the motors turn it (d) it drives on
21. 21.🧠 In which order does a robot work? (a) act → sense → think (b) act → think → sense (c) sense → think → act (d) think → act → sense
22. 22.True or false: when it counts the boxes, the robot is sensing. (a) True (b) False
23. 23.True or false: when a camera spots a wall, the robot is sensing. (a) False (b) True
24. 24.🧠 Which parts do the “sense” job? (a) the frame (b) the battery (c) the sensors (d) the motors
25. 25.🔍 Which is the odd one out? (a) it counts the boxes (b) it compares two numbers (c) the robot turns left (d) it decides to stop
26. 26.Which of these shows that the robot is thinking (deciding)? (a) a camera spots a wall (b) the arm lifts a box (c) the robot turns left (d) it compares two numbers
