Question 2: Answer with True or False for the following statements,
1- Radio controlled toy car is an example of teleoperation system.
1- The human operator, or teleoperator, is often referred to as the local
1- One example of telepresence is the exploration of underwater sites such as the Titanic.
1- Cognitive fatigue was one advantage of using teleoperation systems.
2- A disadvantage of telepresence is, it needs very high bandwidth rates.
2- Telepresence system doesn’t need any operator (human) to control it.
2- Supervisory control is another name for the semi-autonomous control
2- One area of the seven areas of AI is Search, which is generating an answer when there isn’t complete
information.
3- A pre-stored map building in the robot memory is considered as a cognitive knowledge that helps the robot
to build the world model.
3- A pre-stored map building in the robot memory is considered as a priori representation that helps the robot
to build the world model.
3- Strips algorithm suffers from open world assumption and frame problem.
4- While navigator is implementing a specific task, the mission planner is saving time by taking another new
task.
4- If an obstacle appeared, the robot will get crash, since the pilot only takes orders from the navigator to
execute a pattern and has no direct interaction with the updated world model.
4- NHC decomposition is suitable only for navigation tasks.
4- Mission planner is smarter than the pilot, while the pilot is smarter than the navigator.
5- Ethology is study of human behavior
5- Cognitive psychology is a study of how animal think and represent knowledge
5- Schema theory has been used successfully to represent both animal and robot behavior.
5- Schema theory is implicitly object-oriented.
6- Robotics shouldn’t follow the biological intelligence, since the airplane doesn’t flap its wings like the bird.
6- Combining information from multiple sensors in animals has no basis in fact, so it shouldn’t be studied for
robotics.
6- Level 2 of computational theory decompose of “what” into inputs, outputs and transformations.
6. Conscious behaviors are deliberative
6. Reactive behaviors can also be changed by conscious thought
6- The Reactive Paradigm of robotics simulates the Reactive behavior of ethology
7- Chemotaxis is a particular taxis used by baby turtles to find its way to the sea after hatching.
8- Optic flow is a neural mechanism for determining motion.
8- Direct perception means that the sensing process doesn’t require memory, inference, or interpretation.
8- Affordances are not limited to vision. A common affordance is knowing when a container is almost filled to
the top.

8- A structural model attempts to describe an object in terms of physical components: “A chair is a seat with
four legs and a back.
8- GRUFF identifies chairs by function rather than form.
8- Under Gibsonian perception, a chair should be a chair because it affords sitting, or serves the function of
sittability.
