Mark Scheme #01

This marking scheme may contain errors, please review and adjust accordingly

1. Monitoring systems collect and display data, while control systems use this data
to make automatic adjustments. [2]

2. (a) A computer and sensors can monitor an aquarium by continuously measuring the
water temperature and pH. If the temperature or pH goes outside the set range, the
computer can alert the user or trigger automated adjustments to maintain ideal
conditions. [2]
(b)
 Sensor 1: Temperature sensor
Application: Regulating HVAC systems in buildings. [1]
 Sensor 2: pH sensor
Application: Monitoring water quality in aquariums. [1]
 Sensor 3: Light sensor
Application: Automatic street lighting. [1]
3(a)
(i)
1. Uneven paint application. [1]
2. Sensor misalignment due to complex shapes. [1]
(ii)
Solution 1: Use advanced sensors for precise coverage. [1]
Solution 2: Implement self-calibration algorithms. [1]
(b)
Advantage: Consistent quality in repetitive tasks. [1]
Disadvantage: Initial setup costs are high. [1]

4.
(a) The temperature and pH sensors send data to the control unit. If the temperature
drops below 50°C, the control unit activates a heater. If the pH exceeds 4, a valve is
opened to add acid, keeping the pH below 4. [3]

(b) The distance sensors detect objects to prevent collisions, while wheel sensors
provide feedback on movement. The computer uses this data to navigate accurately,
allowing the robot to travel straight or turn as needed. [3]

5.
(a) AI enables modern robots to process complex data, make decisions, and adapt to
changing environments. [2]
(b) AI in autonomous vehicles allows robots to recognize obstacles and adjust routes for
safe navigation. [2]

6.
(a) Sensors in robots gather data from the environment, allowing robots to perform
tasks autonomously by processing this data and responding accordingly. [2]
(b)
 Sensor 1: Infrared sensor
Function: Detects nearby objects to avoid collisions. [1]
 Sensor 2: Pressure sensor
Function: Measures grip force in robotic hands. [1]
7.
(a) Robotic arm movements are controlled through programming, specifying
coordinates and movements for precise tasks. [1]
(b) Incorrect calibration could cause the robotic arm to misalign parts or damage them.
[1]
(c) Safety measures:
1. Install emergency stop buttons.
2. Use sensors to detect human proximity and halt robot activity. [4]
(d)
(i)
 Precision in surgeries. [1]
 Assists with patient monitoring. [1]
 Reduces human error in diagnostics. [1]
(ii)
 Transporting medical supplies. [1]
 Assisting in patient mobility. [1]
1.
(a)
 Precision spraying reduces pesticide use. [1]
 Automated harvesting increases efficiency. [1]

(b)
Task 1: Soil monitoring
Task 2: Crop inspection
Benefits: Robots perform tasks faster and reduce labor costs. [2]

9.
(a) Voice recognition allows robots to interpret human speech, enabling verbal
interaction for commands and responses. [2]
(b) Voice recognition struggles with accents or unclear speech, reducing accuracy. [1]

10.
(a)
1. Reduces human risk in dangerous environments. [1]
2. Allows continuous operation without fatigue. [1]
(b) Replacing human jobs with robots raises ethical concerns, such as job loss and the
need for new skills. Balancing automation with human employment remains a societal
challenge. [3]

11.
(a)
1. CO₂ sensor [1]
2. Temperature sensor [1]
3. Humidity sensor [1]
(b) Sensor data is analog and must be converted for computers to process it digitally.
[2]
(c) An analog-to-digital converter. [1]

12.
(a)
1. Temperature sensor [1]
2. Light sensor [1]
3. Humidity sensor [1]

(b) The analog-to-digital converter converts analog signals from sensors into digital form for
computer processing, enabling precise control in the greenhouse. [2]

13.

(a)

1. Motion sensor - Detects movement to trigger alarms. [1]


2. Glass break sensor - Detects glass breaking to alert security. [1]

(b) The microprocessor processes sensor data to decide whether to trigger alarms, based on pre-
set conditions. [2]

14. Microprocessor-controlled devices automate household tasks, providing convenience and


saving time, which allows people to focus on other activities. [2]
