Question
What is an autonomous system?
Page 2
Answer
A system that can perform tasks or make decisions on its own, with minimal or no human intervention, based on its perception of the environment, internal decision-making, and ability to act or respond accordingly.
2
Question
What is sensing in autonomous systems?
Page 3
Answer
Collecting data from the environment using sensors like cameras, LiDAR, or GPS.
3
Question
What is control in autonomous systems?
Page 3
Answer
Adjusting the system’s behaviour in real-time to achieve stability and precision.
4
Question
What is planning in autonomous systems?
Page 3
Answer
Deciding a sequence of actions to achieve a goal based on sensor data and objectives.
5
Question
What is manipulation in autonomous systems?
Page 3
Answer
Physically interacting with objects using arms, grippers, or tools.

Advanced machines or robots capable of performing tasks and making decisions with minimal or no human intervention, integrating sensors, AI, machine learning, and control algorithms.
12
Question
What is perception in robotic autonomous systems?
Page 5
Answer
Using sensors like cameras, LiDAR, sonar to gather data about the surroundings.
13
Question
What is decision-making in robotic autonomous systems?
Page 5
Answer
Processing data through AI or algorithms to plan actions, navigate, or solve problems.
14
Question
What levels of autonomy exist in robotic systems?
Page 5
Answer
Partial autonomy (e.g., driver-assistance systems) to full autonomy (e.g., self-driving cars or drones).
15
Question
What is adaptability in robotic autonomous systems?
Page 5
Answer
Adjusting to dynamic environments or unexpected changes, such as obstacle avoidance or task optimization.
16
Question
What is locomotion?
Page 6
Answer
The ability of a robot or organism to move from one place to another using mechanisms such as wheels, legs, wings, or propellers.
17
Question
How are robotic autonomous systems classified by locomotion?
Page 7
Answer
By mechanisms like wheeled, legged, aerial (drones), underwater (AUVs), tailored to specific environments.
18
Question
What are wheeled robots?
Page 8
Answer
Autonomous systems that use wheels as primary means of locomotion, providing simple design, high speed, and energy-efficient movement on smooth surfaces.
19
Question
What is efficient locomotion in wheeled robots?
Page 9
Answer
Wheels allow smooth and energy-efficient movement, especially on flat surfaces.
20
Question
What is simple design and control in wheeled robots?
Page 9
Answer
Easier to construct and program compared to legged or aerial robots.
21
Question
What are high speed and stability in wheeled robots?
Page 9
Answer
Capable of faster motion with stable balance.
22
Question
What is cost-effectiveness in wheeled robots?
Page 9
Answer
Generally cheaper to build and maintain due to fewer moving parts.
23
Question
What is limited terrain adaptability in wheeled robots?
Page 9
Answer
Best suited for smooth or moderately rough terrains, but less effective on very uneven surfaces.
24
Question
What is maneuverability in wheeled robots?
Page 9
Answer
Can achieve precise navigation using differential drive or omni-wheels.
25
Question
What are legged robots?
Page 10
Answer
Autonomous systems that use legs instead of wheels for locomotion, allowing movement across uneven, rough, or complex terrains.
26
Question
What is terrain adaptability in legged robots?
Page 11
Answer
Can walk, climb, or step over obstacles on rough, rocky, or irregular surfaces.
27
Question
What is stability in legged robots?
Page 11
Answer
Multi-legged robots (e.g., hexapods) maintain balance even if one or more legs lose contact.
28
Question
What are applications of legged robots?
Page 11
Answer
Exploration, disaster response, and military applications.
29
Question
What is bio-inspired design in legged robots?
Page 11
Answer
