Term | Definition |
---|---|
Algorithm | process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, especially by a computer. |
AND gate | electrical circuit that combines two signals so that the output is on if both signals are present. |
Autonomous robot | performs behaviors or tasks with a high degree of autonomy, which is particularly desirable in fields such as spaceflight, household maintenance (such as cleaning), waste water treatment and delivering goods and services. |
Binary code | a coding system using the binary digits 0 and 1 to represent a letter, digit, or other character in a computer or other electronic device. |
Computer-aided manufacturing | is an application technology that uses computer software and machinery to facilitate and automate manufacturing processes. |
software | programs and other operating information used by a computer. |
computer-aided process planning | Using a computer to design the processes that are used to manufacture parts . |
computer archtitecture | is a set of rules and methods that describe the functionality, organization, and implementation of computer systems. |
computer engineering | refers to the study that integrates electronic engineering with computer sciences to design and develop computer systems and other technological devices. |
computer-integrated manufacturing | Manufacture process in which computers control the entire production process . |
database | a structured set of data held in a computer, especially one that is accessible in various ways. |
digital signal processing | is the process of analyzing and modifying a signal to optimize or improve its efficiency or performance. |
end-of-arm tooiling | also known as the end effector, is the robot tool center in which the part at the end of a robotic arm interacts with the environment. |
human-computer interactions | is the study of how people interact with computers and to what extent computers are or are not developed for successful interaction with human beings. |
logic | a system or set of principles underlying the arrangements of elements in a computer or electronic device so as to perform a specified task. |
NAND gate | a circuit that produces an output signal until there are signals on all of its inputs. |
NOR gate | A NOR gate is a type of logic gate that works on the principle of “neither this nor that.” This type of digital logic gate produces a high output only if two binary results are satisfied by a zero or low input. |
NOT gate | often called an inverter, is a nice digital logic gate to start with because it has only a single input with simple behavior. |
OR gate | gate that provides an output of 1 if either or both of the inputs are 1. |
robot | machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically, especially one programmable by a computer. |
robotics | the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots. |
software engineering | The application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software |
XNOR gate | gate that is an exclusive NOR gate . Provides an output of 1 if the input are both 1 or both 0 but not if one is 0 and one is 1. |
XOR gate | gate that is an exclusive OR gate. Provides an output of 1 if one input is 1 but not both are 1 . |
