Robotics Worksheet: Sense, Think, Act

Robotics lesson 2: Sense, think, act · Set 9 · 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.
