Questions - Lecture 4: Autonomous System

(a) Behaviour-based robotics primarily relies on which of the following principles?

The use of simple behaviours that react to the environment to achieve complex tasks.

(b) A key aspect of autopoeisis in robotics suggests that robotic systems can produce and maintain their own components. What does this imply?

√ Self-sustaining robotic systems that can repair or replicate themselves

(c) Passive walking in robotics refers to what?

A locomotion strategy that mimics natural dynamics without active control

(d) What does the subsumption architecture entail in robotic design?

Layering of behaviour modules, where higher-level tasks can subsume lower-level tasks.

(e) Potential fields in robotic navigation can be described as

A method that models the environment where obstacles repel and goals attract a robot.
