Across
  1. 4. An electronic sensor (often passive) that measures infrared light radiating from objects in its view.
  2. 7. These engineering fields use two or more types of engineering together to form a brand new kind of engineering. Biomedical and robotics engineers are two examples.
  3. 10. A gyroscope is a device used for measuring or maintaining orientation and angular velocity.
  4. 11. The area of robotics concerned with the control of semi-autonomous robots from a distance, chiefly using Wireless networks (like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, the Deep Space Network, and similar) or tethered connections.
  5. 12. A set of installed hardware and software on a computing device required to run specific software.
  6. 13. To put a decision or plan into action.
  7. 14. A sensor which emits ultrasound and then detects any ultrasound that returns.
  8. 15. A power mechanism used to produce motion – either in a straight line or by rotating.
  9. 17. To do something repeatedly until a specific result is achieved.
  10. 18. Used to support shafts (axles) to reduce friction.
  11. 22. Used to estimate a robot's condition and environment.
  12. 24. An end effector used for sizing or holding something (a simple hand).
  13. 28. Where something is.
  14. 29. How close measured values are to each other.
  15. 30. Detailed description or assessment of requirements, dimensions, materials of a proposed product.
  16. 31. Movement in a straight line, as opposed to rotating.
  17. 33. A measurement of an angle.
  18. 34. A representation of something that can be used or applied to better understand a concept.
  19. 35. The arrangement of the parts of something complex.
  20. 36. Connect two beams, allowing rotation between them.
  21. 38. A device which gives a visual representation of something – typically from a camera.
  22. 40. Intelligent machines capable of performing tasks in the world by themselves, without explicit human control.
  23. 43. Sensors that shine light onto the object and measure the output into color components.
  24. 44. A piece of a program commanding the computer to do something.

  4. 5. The steps that engineers use to design something to solve a problem.
  5. 6. A slender rod that allows the transfer of rotational motion from one part to another.
  6. 8. The process of producing something new or different.
  7. 9. A sensor which measures some aspect of the physical contact with an object.
