Class 8 - Chapter 10 Robotics and AI

This document contains questions and answers about artificial intelligence, robots, and their uses. It defines key terms like artificial intelligence, which was coined by John McCarthy in 1956, and robots, which can be designed as androids or used for unmanned surgery. It also describes the two main types of robots - industrial robots used in manufacturing and service robots that can clean or do yardwork autonomously. Finally, it discusses how robotics has gained importance in environmental sectors, with robots that can target insects or be inspired by fish.

b.What is a robot?
Ans.A robot designed to execute highly sophisticated instructions is referred to as an
android.
c.Define mechatronics.
Ans.The field of mechanics and electronics together have given rise to a new emerging
sector called Mechatronics.

d.How are robots used in the field of surgery?


Unmanned surgery, surgery with minimum cutting or puncturing of skin has
Ans.been possible because of robots.

Q3. Long Answer type Questions:


a.What can Artificial Intelligence do today?
Ans. Artificial Intelligence has advanced very rapidly in the past decade because of
greater use of science, engineering and mathematics in experimenting and
comparing approaches. Artificial Intelligence research also overlaps with tasks
such as robotics, control systems, scheduling, data mining, logistics, speech &
facial recognition, etc.
b.Explain the two types of robots and their uses.
Ans. There are two types of robots:
(i) Industrial robots are mainly used in manufacturing industries such as
automotives industries. These robots are programmed using computers.

(ii) Service robots include domestic robots that clean the carpet or cut grass in
the garden and move on their own. They are fully or semi-autonomous robots
and controlled by electronic circuits.

c.How robotics gained a vital place in environment sectors?


Ans. Robotics gained a vital place in the environmental sector. A robot developed in
England can attack insects like some omnivorous plants. Also, a London
aquarium exhibits a robot that has been inspired by a fish.
