Quiz Questions

1. What is swarm robotics?

A) Using one very powerful robot to do complex tasks B) Multiple robots working together to accomplish tasks C) Robots that can fly in swarms like bees D) Programming robots to move very fast

2. Which of these is NOT a characteristic of robot swarms?

A) Multiple robots working together B) One central controller telling all robots what to do C) Simple rules creating complex group behavior D) Local communication between nearby robots

3. What are the three rules of flocking behavior?

A) Speed up, slow down, turn around B) Separation, alignment, cohesion C) Forward, backward, sideways D) Leader, follower, observer

4. What does "separation" mean in flocking behavior?

A) Robots should spread out across a large area B) Robots should avoid crowding neighbors (don't crash) C) Robots should work on separate tasks D) Robots should turn off communication

5. Which is an example of swarm behavior in nature?

A) A single eagle hunting alone B) Ants working together to find food C) A cat sleeping in the sun D) A tree growing in a forest

6. How can robots communicate with each other?

A) Wireless signals (WiFi, Bluetooth) B) Light signals (LED patterns) C) Sound signals (beeps and tones) D) All of the above

7. What is an advantage of using robot swarms instead of one big robot?

A) If one robot breaks, the others can continue working B) Multiple robots can cover more area at once C) Simple robots are cheaper than complex ones D) All of the above

8. In leader-follower behavior, what should follower robots do?

A) Try to become the leader themselves B) Maintain a good following distance behind the leader C) Move in the opposite direction from the leader D) Stop moving and wait for instructions

9. Describe a real-world situation where robot swarms would be more useful than a single robot. Explain why multiple robots would work better. (Short Answer)

10. If you were designing a swarm of robots to clean up a park, what behaviors would each robot need? Describe at least three specific behaviors and how they would coordinate. (Short Answer)
