    c.   In a school robotics lab, students program a robot to place books on shelves every day in
                            the same manner without making any decisions on its own. What is the main function of
                            this type of robot?

                             (i)  Operate independently                     (ii)  Perform repetitive tasks

                            (iii)  Enhance human capabilities               (iv)  Mimic human behaviour
                        d.   Riya is visiting a car manufacturing plant with her class. She notices robotic arms repeatedly
                            welding car doors without getting tired. Which type of robot is being used here?

                             (i)  Autonomous robot                          (ii)  Humanoid robot

                            (iii)  Pre-programmed robot                     (iv)  Augmenting robot
                        e.   A robot therapist talks kindly to people feeling sad and tries to help them feel better. Which
                            robot is this?
                             (i)  Atlas                                     (ii)  Roomba

                            (iii)  Mechanical arm                           (iv)  WoeBot

                     2.  Write 'T' for true and 'F' for false.

                        a.  Atlas operates only indoors and cannot sense obstacles.

                        b.  Autonomous robots require constant human supervision to operate.

                        c.   Tele-operated robots can be controlled through wireless systems or satellites.

                        d.  Augmenting robots are commonly used in large-scale industrial tasks.

                        e.   Humanoid robots are designed to look and behave like humans.

                     3.  Fill in the blanks using the words from the help box.

                                     Landmines, Prosthetic, Atlas, Tumors, Human intervention
