Robotics (ME-604 (A)) - Important Questions

  1. Unit 17 Marks High Priority

    Explain the need and importance of industrial robotics in manufacturing and service sectors.

    Core topic; frequently asked in Unit 1 exams (heatmap frequency 6).

  2. Unit 17 Marks High Priority

    Define the basic concepts of robotics. Distinguish between a robot, a manipulator and an automatic machine.

    Fundamental definitions and distinctions; high recurrence in past papers (heatmap frequency 8).

  3. Unit 114 Marks High Priority

    Explain the structure and classification of industrial robots with suitable sketches and typical applications.

    Major question type involving sketches and classification; most frequently asked topic in Unit 1 (heatmap frequency 9).

  4. Unit 17 Marks High Priority

    Describe the common terminology of robot motion including joint space, task space, workspace, degree of freedom and reach.

    Terminology is repeatedly examined; clear definitions expected (heatmap frequency 6).

  5. Unit 17 Marks High Priority

    Discuss the motion characteristics of robots: payload, speed, acceleration, stiffness and compliance. How do these characteristics influence robot selection for a specific application?

    Regular conceptual question on dynamic and kinematic characteristics (heatmap frequency 7).

  6. Unit 17 Marks High Priority

    Define resolution of a robot. How is resolution measured and how does it affect robot positioning performance?

    Technical parameter often examined; students must give definition and measurement methods (heatmap frequency 7).

  7. Unit 17 Marks High Priority

    Define accuracy of a robot. Differentiate between accuracy and repeatability giving practical examples.

    Core measurement concepts; typically asked to contrast with repeatability (heatmap frequency 7).

  8. Unit 15 Marks High Priority

    What is repeatability? Explain methods used to test and quantify repeatability of an industrial robot.

    Frequently tested concept; short question often carrying 5 marks (heatmap frequency 8).

  9. Unit 17 Marks High Priority

    Discuss typical applications of robots across industries. Classify the applications into categories such as material handling, welding, assembly, painting and inspection with specific examples.

    Application-oriented topic repeatedly examined; expect classification and examples (heatmap frequency 6).

  10. Unit 17 Marks Medium Priority

    Describe different types of end-effectors used in industrial robots. Outline design considerations for a two-finger gripper intended for pick-and-place of rigid parts.

    Practically important topic and commonly set as a focused question on gripper design and selection (predicted / supportive question).
