4. The workspace of a robot is defined as:
i. Maximum payload it can lift ii. Area or volume its end-effector can reach

iii. Power consumed in one cycle iv. Speed of rotation of motors
5. If an industrial robot is designed with higher payload capacity, which of the following will also increase?
i. DOF ii. End-effector precision

iii. Structural strength of links and joints iv. Energy efficiency
6. Which material is least suitable for a high-strength robotic manipulator?
i. Aluminium ii. Steel

iii. MDF iv. Carbon fibre
7. Mecanum wheels are uniquely capable of:

i. Lifting payloads vertically ii. Allowing diagonal and sideways motion
iii. Reducing friction in links iv. Increasing payload capacity
8. The structural base of a mobile robot is also called:

i. Work envelope ii. Chassis
iii. Link frame iv. Gearbox

9. The payload-to-weight ratio of a robot is crucial because:
i. It determines the type of sensors needed
ii. It measures efficiency of mechanical design

iii. It depends only on controller software
iv. It reduces DOF automatically

10. A 2R (two-revolute joint) robotic manipulator primarily works in:
i. Planar 2D workspace ii. Spatial 3D workspace
iii. Circular motion only iv. Payload optimisation

B. Fill in the blanks.
1. The rigid parts of a robot that define its geometry are called .

2. The connectors between links that allow relative motion are known as .
3. A mechanism that works in two-dimensional space is called a mechanism.
4. A robotic manipulator’s end-effector can only move within its .
5. determines how many independent motions a robot can achieve.
6. In industrial robots, defines the maximum weight safely handled.

7. The most common lightweight material used in drones is .
8. Omni wheels allow movement without rotating the chassis.
9. robots require careful balance of workspace and payload for optimal performance.

10. The structural stability of a robot is ensured by its .
C. State whether these statements are true or false.
1. A robot’s workspace is unlimited if it has more degrees of freedom.

2. MDF is a cost-effective material but not ideal for heavy industrial robots.
