What are three examples of robots intended for educational purposes and what activities can they perform? Give a brief explanation of each robot, referencing the robotics block's principles and subjects. For each robot, you should consider four factors: the amount of autonomy, the sensors and actuators utilised, the robot's power source, and how intelligent the robot is

Bee-Bot Kaspar Makeblock mBot Give a brief description of each robot above, referring to concepts and topics discussed in the Robotics block. You should cover four elements for each robot, such as the level of autonomy, the sensors used, the actuators used, how the robot is powered and how ‘intelligent’ the robot is.
Nowadays, a lot of everyday objects, like roller coasters, cars, elevators, and ovens, are really computers or information systems. Normally, you wouldn't connect them to a computer or information system. There are benefits without a doubt, but what about possible disadvantages? Do you think you would feel more or less at ease riding a computer-controlled roller coaster, just as an example? The issue of whether potential benefits outweigh potential downsides arises when more and more commonplace tasks are computerized. In that case, why not?
Many everyday objects (such as amusement park rides, autos, elevators, and ovens) that you would not typically associate with a computer or information system are, in fact, computers or information systems in today's society. While there are some benefits, are there also hazards involved in this situation? For example, would you feel more or less comfortable if you were on a roller coaster that was computer-controlled? What are the dangers and benefits of growing the computerization of everyday activities? Do the benefits exceed the hazards? What are your arguments in favor of or against it?
Some professions are too risky, insulting, or mundane for humans, therefore robots may be programmed to undertake them instead. If you believe a robot may be more efficient than a person in doing a certain work, please provide an example. Is there any particular reason why you think people would rather trust a machine with this responsibility rather than another human being?
Numerous ordinary devices, such as amusement park attractions, automobiles, elevators, and ovens, among others, are now connected to a computer or information system. While there are certain advantages, are there also risks? For instance, would you feel more or less secure riding a computer-controlled roller coaster? Or would you feel secure enough traveling in a Tesla equipped with auto-drive? Do the advantages of expanding the computerization of common things outweigh the risks? What are your reasons for or against?
As the evidence on the adverse effects of cigarette smoke grew, people tried many different ways to quit smoking. Some people tried chewing tobacco or, as it was called, smokeless tobacco. A small amount of tobacco was placed between the cheek and gum. Certain chemicals from the tobacco were absorbed into the bloodstream and gave the sensation of smoking cigarettes. This prompted studies on the adverse effects of smokeless tobacco. One study in particular used 40 university students as subjects. Twenty were given smokeless tobacco to chew, and twenty given a substance that looked and tasted like smokeless tobacco, but did not contain any of the harmful substances. The students were randomly assigned to one of the groups. The students' blood and heart rate were measured before they started chewing and 20 minutes after they had been chewing. A significant increase in heart rate occurred in the group that chewed the smokeless tobacco. Answer the following questions. a. What type of study…
How does an ADT accomplish the goals set for it, and what is it exactly? Is it possible that there are consequences of using ADTs? Can you think of any other way in which people's genes contribute to overcoming obstacles?
Find a handheld device (e.g. remote control, handheld computer, or cell phone) and examine how it has been designed, paying particular attention to how the user is meant to interact with it. From your first impressions, write down what first comes to mind as to what is good and bad about the way the device works. Then list (i) its functionality (ii) the range of tasks a typical user would want to do using it. Is the functionality greater, equal, or less than what the user wants to do
Nanotechnology has the potential to have a large influence on the treatment of sickness, the mending of damaged cells, and even the slowing down of the ageing process. These are all areas in which the process of ageing is slowed down. If anything like this took place, would it have any kind of effect on the rest of society?
What pictures come to mind when you think about email? What happens to an email once it is sent? Make a list of everything you've learned thus far. Is anybody aware of the reasons for these disparities, and if so, what they are? Do your models support varying degrees of complexity?
How did Margaret Johnson contribute to the software that allowed humans to reach the moon? Answer by explaining each quote below. “We showed that that could be done. We did it in what today seems an incredibly smalls amount of memory. Without it, Neil Armstrong wouldn’t have made it to the moon.” “She became an expert in systems programming and won technical arguments.”
Computers are almost everywhere, and they affect most walks of life-business, education, government, military, hobbies, shopping, socializing, research, and so on. What aspects of your life can you think of that still seem relatively unaffected by computers and technology? Is this a good thing or a bad thing, and is it likely to last? What aspects of your life have been the most conspicuously affected by technology? Has anything been made worse or harder in your life by the advance of computers? What about things that have been made better or easier?
