1. What is the primary function of an end effector in a robotic system?

A) To provide power to the robot B) To interact with and manipulate objects in the environment C) To control the robot's movement D) To process sensor data

2. What type of gripper uses two fingers that move parallel to each other?

A) Angular gripper B) Parallel jaw gripper C) Suction gripper D) Magnetic gripper

3. What is the primary advantage of using servo motors for robotic manipulation?

A) They are very cheap B) They provide precise position control with built-in feedback C) They consume no power D) They work without any control signals

4. What is force feedback in robotic grippers used for?

A) To determine how much force is being applied during gripping B) To change the gripper's color C) To make the gripper move faster D) To play sounds when gripping

5. What is the purpose of coordinate transformation in vision-guided manipulation?

A) To make the camera work faster B) To convert camera pixel coordinates to real-world robot coordinates C) To change the image colors D) To rotate the camera

6. What is inverse kinematics in robotic arm control?

A) Moving the arm backwards only B) Calculating joint angles needed to reach a desired end-effector position C) Reversing the motor direction D) A type of sensor

7. What is the main benefit of coordinated movement in pick-and-place operations?

A) It makes the robot look more impressive B) It allows simultaneous control of base movement and arm manipulation for efficient operation C) It reduces the robot's power consumption D) It eliminates the need for sensors

8. What safety consideration is most important when working with robotic arms?

A) Making the arm move as fast as possible B) Implementing emergency stops and force limits to prevent injury or damage C) Using the cheapest materials D) Ignoring workspace boundaries

9. Design a vision-guided sorting system that uses a gripper to sort colored objects. Describe the key components, coordinate transformation process, and how you would ensure reliable gripping. (Short Answer)

10. Explain the challenges of implementing force feedback in robotic grippers and propose solutions for adaptive gripping of objects with different sizes and materials. (Short Answer)
