COMPETENCY-BASED QUESTIONS

1. A robot is assisting a surgeon during a complex medical procedure, performing highly precise
movements. What generation of robot would most likely be used in this situation?
2. A construction robot lifts large and heavy objects in a building project. What characteristic of

the robot allows it to handle such demanding tasks efficiently?

CASE STUDY

In an automotive plant, robots perform tasks like welding and assembly. They work autonomously,
using sensors and AI to complete tasks with precision. However, robots have limitations, such
as lack of creativity and high costs. Robots improve speed and efficiency but can’t adapt to
unexpected situations. Malfunctions or errors in programming can cause production delays.
Regular maintenance is expensive.

Based on the above case answer the following questions:
1. What characteristics make robots valuable in manufacturing?

2. What limitations of robots could affect production?

3. How do ethical concerns impact robot use in industries?

People who are skilled in robotics can pursue careers as Robotics Engineers, Automation
Specialists, AI Ethics Analysts, Space Robotics Technicians or Bio-Robotics Researchers.
