- 4. An electronic sensor (often passive) that measures infrared light radiating from objects in its view.
- 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.
- 10. A gyroscope is a device used for measuring or maintaining orientation and angular velocity.
- 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.
- 12. A set of installed hardware and software on a computing device required to run specific software.
- 13. To put a decision or plan into action.
- 14. A sensor which emits ultrasound and then detects any ultrasound that returns.
- 15. A power mechanism used to produce motion – either in a straight line or by rotating.
- 17. To do something repeatedly until a specific result is achieved.
- 18. Used to support shafts (axles) to reduce friction.
- 22. Used to estimate a robot's condition and environment.
- 24. An end effector used for sizing or holding something (a simple hand).
- 28. Where something is.
- 29. How close measured values are to each other.
- 30. Detailed description or assessment of requirements, dimensions, materials of a proposed product.
- 31. Movement in a straight line, as opposed to rotating.
- 33. A measurement of an angle.
- 34. A representation of something that can be used or applied to better understand a concept.
- 35. The arrangement of the parts of something complex.
- 36. Connect two beams, allowing rotation between them.
- 38. A device which gives a visual representation of something – typically from a camera.
- 40. Intelligent machines capable of performing tasks in the world by themselves, without explicit human control.
- 43. Sensors that shine light onto the object and measure the output into color components.
- 44. A piece of a program commanding the computer to do something.
