    SECTION B   (Subjective Type Questions)

                     A.  Short answer type questions.
                        1.  Explain why robotics is called an interdisciplinary field.
                        2.  What role do sensors play in distinguishing robots from ordinary machines?

                        3.  How did the introduction of Unimate revolutionise industry?
                        4.  Differentiate between autonomous and remote-controlled robots with one example each.
                        5.  Why is the term “robot” historically linked to the idea of forced labour?

                     B.  Long answer type questions.
                        1.  Trace the evolution of robotics from the origin of the term to its industrial applications.

                        2.  Discuss the major types of robots (manipulator, mobile, humanoid, social, space) with examples.
                        3.  Explain in detail why robotics is essential in hazardous environments, giving at least three examples.

                                                                                                           21 st
                     C.  Competency-based questions:     HOTS                                            Century   #Digital Literacy
                                                                                                          Skills
                        1.   Your city plans to use robots for cleaning public spaces. Which type of robots would you recommend and why?
                            Include details of sensors and actuators required.
                        2.   Imagine designing a robot for space exploration. Outline the key features it must have to survive and perform
                            tasks effectively.

                                                                  ROBOT MIMICRY

                      Pair up with a classmate.

                      One plays the role of the “Controller” and gives step-by-step commands (e.g., “move forward 2 steps, turn left, pick
                      the book”).

                      The other plays the “Robot” and must follow the commands exactly as spoken, without guessing.
                      If the “Controller” forgets a step, the “Robot” cannot complete the task.Lesson: Robots cannot “guess”; they only
                      execute what is programmed.

                                                                                                         21 st

                                      Surgical robots like the Da Vinci system help doctors perform precise  Skills
                                      procedures. However, these robots require human supervision. What steps can be taken to ensure
                         deep         that the robot does not make mistakes, and who should be held accountable if a surgical robot fails
                       thinking       during an operation?

                                                                                                                           51
                                                                                        Introduction to Robots: What Exactly are They?
