Robotics Worksheet: Sense, Think, Act

Robotics lesson 2: Sense, think, act · Set 934 · 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.

1. 1.🧠 In which order does a robot work? (a) act → sense → think (b) act → think → sense (c) think → act → sense (d) sense → think → act

3. 3.🔢 To make a robot vacuum avoid a chair, what comes right after “the bumper is pressed”? (a) the motors turn it (b) it drives on (c) it decides to turn (d) the controller reads it
4. 4.🧠 Sense, think or act: “a mic hears a clap”? (a) act (b) think (c) sense
