Unit 6

combination of software and hardware that is designed to run without human intervention

faster than a human operator safer likely to run under optimum conditions in the long run is less expensive efficient use of materials higher productivity consistent results

expensive to set up initially possible for set of conditions to occur that were never considered during testing subject to cyberattaks need enhanced maintenance which is expensive

avoids traffic disruption cars can fit into smaller spaces fewer dents and scratches safer system that monitors all objects very consistent resultsq

over reliance of system by drive faulty and dirty sensors can send wrong information expensive option requires additional maintenance to make sure it functions

reduced labour costs better and more efficient control of the irrigation process better control of precious resources safer than human monitoring different growing conditions can be maintained simultaneously

expensive to set up initially high maintenance costs increased need to maintain water channels to ensure the system works correctly at all times

provide better forecasting options provide accurate and frequent readings low power requirements

allows increased human interaction with the game leads to immersive games experience

control light sources automatically reduced energy consumption wireless connections can be chosen which are much safer longer bulb life new light displays can be programmed

expensive to set up wireless connections can be less reliable than wired requires maintenance which can be expensive

more consistent results less dangerous faster results automatic analysis of the results is possible fewer people needed for each experiment

less flexible security risks are always present equipment can be expensive to buy

access and store vast amounts of facts able to learn from huge amounts of data able to see patterns

change in skills set dependent on the data that trains it

the branch of computer science that incorporates the design, construction and operation of robots

in factories at home as cleaners drones for parcels or reconaissance

mechanical structures made up of many parts contrain electrical components such as sensors, microprocessors and actuators they are programmable to allow the robot to do certain tasks

they are very good at repetitive tasks in industry such as manafacturing

capable of working in conditions that may be hazardous to humans dont need to stop less expensive in the long run more productive more consistent more suited to boring tasks

find it difficult to do non-standard tasks lead to higher unemployment expensive to buy and set up

process data from sensors and change gears, apply brakes or turn the steering wheel

safer since human error is removed better for the environment reduce traffic congestion reduced travel times

very expensive to set up can be hacked security and safety issues need to make sure system is well maintained at all time
