Which of the following terms refers to the use of compressed gasses to drive (power) the robot device? A. pneumatic B. hydraulic C. piezoelectric D. photosensitive

[amp_mcq option1=”pneumatic” option2=”hydraulic” option3=”piezoelectric” option4=”photosensitive” correct=”option1″]

The correct answer is A. Pneumatic.

Pneumatics is the use of compressed air or other gases to power machinery. It is a common type of power transmission in industrial settings, and it is also used in some robots. Pneumatic robots are typically faster and more powerful than electric robots, but they can be more expensive to operate.

Hydraulics is the use of pressurized liquids to power machinery. It is another common type of power transmission in industrial settings, and it is also used in some robots. Hydraulic robots are typically slower and less powerful than pneumatic robots, but they can be more precise.

Piezoelectrics is a technology that uses the piezoelectric effect to generate electricity or to control mechanical motion. It is not typically used in robots.

Photosensitive is a term used to describe materials that are sensitive to light. It is not typically used in robots.
