3. How are drones applied in everyday life?
Ans. Drones: Used for aerial photography, delivery services, agriculture monitoring, and disaster response.

4. What is the role of social robots?
Ans. Social robots: Robots designed to interact with humans, e.g., providing customer service, companionship,
or assistance in education.
5. Mention two applications of underwater robots.

Ans. Underwater robots: Used for detecting oil leaks, inspecting pipelines, and marine research.
6. Why are exploration robots important for space research?
Ans. Exploration robots: Important for exploring planets like Mars, collecting data where humans cannot go.

B. Long answer type questions.

1. Discuss the different applications of industrial robots in manufacturing.
Ans. Industrial robots in manufacturing: Perform welding, painting, assembly, packaging, and material
handling. They increase productivity, precision, and safety.
2. Explain the role of robots in healthcare with examples.

Ans. Robots in healthcare: Surgical robots (Da Vinci system), rehabilitation robots, and robotic exoskeletons
improve accuracy, reduce recovery time, and assist patients.
3. Describe the use of drones in agriculture and disaster management.
Ans. Drones in agriculture and disaster management: Monitor crop health, spray fertilizers, and assess
disaster-affected areas quickly. Provide aerial views and reach inaccessible zones.

4. Compare social robots with humanoid robots in terms of their applications.
Ans. Social vs Humanoid robots: Social robots interact with humans but may not look human-like
(e.g., Pepper robot). Humanoid robots resemble humans physically and can perform both research and
service tasks.
5. Write in detail about space exploration robots and their contributions.

Ans. Space exploration robots: Mars Rovers (Curiosity, Perseverance) and robotic arms on ISS gather
scientific data, explore terrain, and support missions without risking astronauts.

C. Competency-based questions: HOTS Century #Digital Literacy
Skills
1. Imagine you are designing a robot for disaster management after an earthquake. What features and sensors
would you include?
Ans. Disaster management robot: Should include sensors (infrared for survivors, cameras, gas detectors)
and features (mobility on rough terrain, grippers, wireless communication).
2. Your school plans to use drones for campus security. Suggest a design, with sensors and control system,
explaining how it will function effectively.

Ans. School security drone: Equipped with cameras, night vision, motion sensors, and GPS. Controlled via a
closed-loop system, it can patrol, detect unusual activity, and alert security staff.
