ICT Notes+Chapter+6.3+Computer-controlled+systems

This document describes computer-controlled systems and provides examples. It defines computer-controlled systems as a set of devices like processors, sensors and actuators that work together to achieve objectives. Examples given are painting cars and controlling building temperatures. The document also discusses advantages like quick response and ability to work continuously, and disadvantages such as high costs and inability to react to unexpected events. It then describes three types of computer-controlled systems: robotic manufacturing systems, production line controls, and autonomous vehicles.

COMPUTER-CONTROLLED SYSTEMS

DEFINITION:
• A set of devices such as a processor, sensors, and
actuators that work together to achieve a set of
objectives

Examples:
• Painting a car
• Controlling the temperature of a building

ROBOTS DEFINITION
• A machine controlled by a computer that is used to perform
jobs automatically.

MACHINE LEARNING DEFINITION


• The ability of computers to learn without
being explicitly programmed.
USE OF A ROBOT
1. Have major role within the manufacturing industry where
their main use is to carry out repetitive tasks and some
can be re-programmed to do different task as
necessary.
2. Robots learns how to carry out tasks in different ways; a
programmer can write instructions for the robot, then
observe the robot while it does the task (called teach
and learn method).
3. Robot can be guided through a task the first time, then it
produces instructions itself.

PRODUCTION LINE CONTROL
Production Line
Control DEFINITION
• A line of machines and workers in a factory
that a product moves along while it is being
Produced.
• They perform complex assembly line tasks.

Used to:
• Create an end product from raw materials or other components.
• Control the flow of materials along the whole production line.
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES
Autonomous
Vehicles DEFINITION
• A vehicle capable of sensing its environment
and operating without human involvement.

Spatial laser
sensors DEFINITION
• Sensor are used with lasers to detect,
measure and analyse the space and
objects in an environment, in real time.
