IGCSE CS: Sensors on a Robot

Scenario: The diagram below shows "RoboHelper X1", a versatile robot designed for warehouse operations and light assistance tasks. It is equipped with various sensors to navigate its environment, interact with objects, and ensure safety. The questions will refer to the labelled sensors on this robot.

RoboHelper X1 - Sensor Layout RoboHelper X1 S1 (Cam) S2 (UltraS) S5 (Force) S4 (Touch) S3 (IR) S6 (Encoders) (Wheels) S7 (Mic) S1: Camera; S2: Ultrasonic Sensor; S3: Infrared Sensor; S4: Touch/Bumper Sensor; S5: Force Sensor (Gripper); S6: Wheel Encoders; S7: Microphone

This quiz focuses on Sensors as part of Automated systems and emerging technologies (IGCSE Computer Science Syllabus Section 1.6.2). You will need to identify different types of sensors on a robot, understand their purpose, the type of data they collect, and how this data enables the robot to perform its tasks and interact with its environment.
