Which of the following is a common approach to robot motion planning?

  1. Random Sampling

  2. Artificial Intelligence

  3. Manual Control

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Random Sampling is a common approach to robot motion planning, where random points are generated in the robot's workspace and checked for collisions. If a collision-free path is found, it is used to move the robot.

What is the main objective of robot control?

  1. To move the robot to a desired position

  2. To maintain the robot's stability

  3. To avoid obstacles

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The main objective of robot control is to move the robot to a desired position, maintain its stability, and avoid obstacles.

Which of the following is a common type of robot controller?

  1. Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller

  2. Fuzzy Logic controller

  3. Neural Network controller

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers, Fuzzy Logic controllers, and Neural Network controllers are all common types of robot controllers.
