                                                      SECTION B   (Subjective Type Questions)

                     A.  Short answer type questions.
                        1.  What are links in a robotic mechanical system?
                            Ans.   Links are rigid components that connect joints, forming the structure of a robot.

                        2.  Define degrees of freedom in robotics.
                            Ans.  Degrees of freedom are the independent movements a robot can make, determining its versatility.
                        3.  Differentiate between planar and spatial mechanisms.
                            Ans.  Planar mechanisms move in 2D space (like scissors), while spatial mechanisms move in 3D space (like
                                 robotic arms).
                        4.  What is meant by the payload of a robot?

                            Ans.  Payload is the maximum weight a robot can safely carry or manipulate.
                        5.  Why is aluminium commonly used in robotic design?
                            Ans.  Aluminium is lightweight yet strong, making robots efficient without adding excessive weight.
                        6.  Explain the use of omni wheels in mobile robots.

                            Ans.  Omni wheels enable  robots  to  move  sideways  and  diagonally  without  rotating  their  body,  improving
                                 maneuverability.
