Automation & Robotics

1. Information received by a robot's sensors
2. An action or occurrence that takes place during a robot's program
4. A gear in between the input and output of a gear train
5. A piece of hardware used to create space between two stationary structure components
7. The input gear of a geared mechanism
10. The resulting motion, display or other response of a robot
11. A piece of hardware used to support a spinning axle, ensuring smooth operation
13. A way of using symbols to outline a program sequence
15. A comparison between two values, such as gear sizes or rotation rates
16. A piece of hardware used to secure a screw
19. A type of motion in which an object moves back and forth along a straight path
20. A type of motion in which an object moves continuously in. a straight line
22. A programming structure used to repeat a sequence of commands
23. A circular machine part with teeth which mesh with another toothed part to transmit rotational motion
24. An input device used by a robot to take in information
25. An autonomous machine that can perform tasks based on programming with little or no human input

1. A process of prototyping, testing, analyzing, and refining a design
3. A working model used to test the effectiveness of a design
6. An electronic input device that produces rotary motion
8. A type of statement in programming that allows a robot to execute different commands based on input from a sensor
9. A system of connected parts that work together to create and control motion
12. Development of devices that function without human control
14. A type of motion in which an object spins in a circle
17. The process of finding and correcting problems with a design or program
18. The sequence of commands in a robot's program
21. A force that causes an object to rotate
