Student Information

Email:

1. What is the primary purpose of SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) in robotics?

To control robot movements and avoid obstacles To detect and track moving objects in the environment To build a map of an unknown environment while tracking the robot's position To optimize battery usage during navigation I am not sure

2. Which sensor is most commonly used for accurate 3D mapping in robotics?

Ultrasonic sensors LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) Infrared sensors GPS receivers I am not sure

3. In occupancy grid mapping, what does a probability value of 0.8 for a cell indicate?

The cell is likely to contain an obstacle The cell is likely to be free space The cell has not been observed yet The robot is currently in this cell I am not sure

4. What is the main challenge of using GPS for robot navigation in urban environments?

Lack of precision in densely populated environments High power consumption Slow update rate Limited coverage area I am not sure

5. Which algorithm is commonly used for finding the shortest path in a weighted graph representation of a robot's environment?

Breadth-First Search Dijkstra's Algorithm Gradient Descent Genetic Algorithm I am not sure
