Appendix 3: Advanced interview questions and answers on Robotics and Automation for experienced professionals
Here are advanced interview questions and answers on Robotics and Automation for experienced professionals. These cover cutting-edge technologies, real-world applications, and complex problem-solving scenarios. 1. Advanced Concepts in Robotics Q1: What are the different types of robot locomotion systems? Which is the most efficient? A: Robots use various locomotion systems based on their application and environment: Locomotion Type Description Example Wheeled Robots Uses wheels for movement; efficient on flat surfaces. AGVs in warehouses (Amazon’s Kiva robots). Legged Robots Mimics animal/human walking; useful for rough terrain. Boston Dynamics’ Spot (quadruped). Tracked Robots Uses tank-like tracks for stability on uneven surfaces. Military reconnaissance robots. Flying Robots Aerial navigation using rotors or fixed wings. Drones (DJI Phantom, military UAVs). Swimming Robots Underwater propulsion using fins or thrusters. Underwater e...
