MFGE 4533 Industrial Robots and Automation Question 1: (5 pts) Which of the following statements are true regarding state of the art applications of robotics and automation? Select all that apply. A Robots can enhance precision and repeatability of manufacturing processes B. Robots are currently being used for hazardous tasks such as disposal of explosives c. Automobile manufacturing can involve robots working in parallel with human labor D. Robots can be used to assist in construction of sculptures and buildings, e.g, grinding of granite or stacking brick walls Question 2: (5 pts) Robotics and automation can typically select all that apply): A. Increase production rate B. Reduce variability across a large batch of parts c Reduce production cost at high volumes D. Take less time to reconfigure than human operators Question 3: (5 pts) An automated system, by definition, is one that (select all that apply): A is automatically controlled B. replaces human labor cincorporates machine learning D. costs less than human labor Question 4: (5 pts) Which of the following operations are most suitable for robots? Select all that apply. A. Painting of automotive bodies B. Painting of individually custom and highly complex parts made by additive manufacturing c. Arc welding D High-precision milling (e.g., where the robot holds the spindle and tool and exerts large forces) Question 5: (5 pts) Which of the following, by definition, are features of an industrial robot? Select all that apply. A. Programmable in three or more axes B. Multipurpose manipulation c. Extremely high precision D. Reprogrammable Question 6: (5 pts) Which of the following statements are true about articulated robots? Select all that apply. A. Articulated robots are the most common type of robot B. Actuators in articulated robots are mechanically connected in series c. Articulated robots need to be calibrated before use to account for angular errors at the joints D. A typical application of articulated robots is welding of automotive bodies Question 7: (20 pts) The payload of a Fanuc LR Mate 200iD robot is 7 kg. You need to program the robot to lift a 5 kg part using a 1 kg end-effector. What is the maximum acceleration that can be used to lift the part? Consider the gravitational acceleration to be 9.81 m/s2. Hint: you need to convert the payload (mass, expressed in kg) to force (N)
