Control Processes

Control Processes

1. Control systems using feedback are systems where the output affects the input

2. • Robotics involves devices which are programmed to do things by giving them a set of instructions

3. • Bionics is often used alongside robotics. This is where nature is used when designing modern technology. Robotics arms can be built, for example, by trying to copy the muscles which make human arms work.

4. input, processing and output

   • input passive infrared sensors in the robotic arm will tell the computer if it is near an object
   • prossesing the computer will decide whether to continue moving the arm depending on whether it is near an object for safety,real time prossesing is reqired here
   • output if the computer tells it to the robotic arm will continue to move by a very small amount using a motor output device

5. the advantages and disadvantages of control prosses

   • • The advantages of using robots/bionics in control systems are: Robots do not take breaks and can work 24 hours a day.
     • They do not need to be constantly paid wages. Jobs can be carried out with greater accuracy and in dangerous situations.
   • The disadvantages are There is a high initial cost of robotics in factories.
     • Even though some staff to maintain robots are needed, assembly line jobs will be lost.
