What is the term for the process of converting an audio signal into a digital representation?

  1. Analog-to-digital conversion (ADC)

  2. Digital-to-analog conversion (DAC)

  3. Pulse-width modulation (PWM)

  4. Frequency modulation (FM)


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) is the process of converting an analog audio signal into a digital representation that can be processed by a computer or microcontroller.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of microphone used in robotics?

  1. Condenser microphone

  2. Dynamic microphone

  3. Piezoelectric microphone

  4. Laser microphone


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

What is the term for the process of converting a digital audio signal into an analog representation?

  1. Analog-to-digital conversion (ADC)

  2. Digital-to-analog conversion (DAC)

  3. Pulse-width modulation (PWM)

  4. Frequency modulation (FM)


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Digital-to-analog conversion (DAC) is the process of converting a digital audio signal into an analog representation that can be amplified and played through speakers or other audio devices.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of speaker used in robotics?

  1. Electromagnetic speaker

  2. Piezoelectric speaker

  3. Balanced armature speaker

  4. Planar magnetic speaker


Correct Option: D

  1. Noise reduction

  2. Signal enhancement

  3. Feature extraction

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Feature extraction is the process of identifying and extracting meaningful information from an audio signal, such as pitch, formants, and energy levels.

Which of the following is NOT a common application of audio feedback in robotics?

  1. Speech recognition

  2. Sound localization

  3. Obstacle detection

  4. Gait control


Correct Option: D
