2. Give the names of these components. CPU/Processor

3. Give the names of these components. Motherboard

4. Give the names of these components. Input or output? Input devices

5. Give the names of these components. Internal memory

6. Give the names of these components. ROM (Read Only Memory)

7. Give the names of these components. Hard disk drive

8. Computer systems have revolutionized the way we live, work and play and are involved in all aspects of our lives. In Japan, industrial robots have taken over the jobs of many workers.

9. 1. Explain why a robot can be thought of as a computer system. (5mins)

10. Sensors and Input Devices : Just like a computer system has input devices (keyboard, mouse, etc.) Processing Unit : The robot has a central processing unit (CPU) or a microcontroller, similar to a computer's CPU.

11. 3. Memory and Storage : Robots have memory and storage components, akin to RAM and hard drives in computers. 4. Output Devices and Actuators : In place of a computer's output devices (monitor, printer, etc.), a robot has actuators that produce movement or actions.

12. 5. Communication Interfaces : Robots often have communication interfaces to interact with other systems, much like computers use network cards or ports. These can include wireless communication modules (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth),. 6. Software and Algorithms : Robots run on software and algorithms that dictate their behavior, similar to how software applications run on a computer. This includes operating systems, middleware, and application-specific programs.

13. 7. Power Supply : Both computers and robots require a power source to function. For robots, this could be batteries or a direct power supply. 8. Control Systems : The robot's control systems manage the coordination and operation of all its components, comparable to how an operating system manages a computer's hardware and software resources..

14. 2. List advantages and disadvantages to an employer in using robots rather than people.

15. Advantages Increased Productivity : Robots can work continuously without breaks, leading to higher output. They can operate 24/7, which is beneficial for industries requiring constant production.

16. Advantages Consistency and Precision : Robots perform tasks with high precision and consistency, reducing errors and variability in product quality. They can execute complex tasks with exact repeatability.

17. Advantages Cost Efficiency : Over time, robots can be more cost-effective than human labor due to lower operational costs (no salaries, benefits, or holidays). Robots can take on dangerous or repetitive tasks, reducing workplace injuries and associated costs.

18. Advantages Enhanced Safety : Robots can work in hazardous environments, handling dangerous materials, extreme temperatures, or heavy loads, reducing risk to human workers. They help ensure compliance with safety standards by reducing human error in dangerous tasks.

19. Advantages Scalability and Flexibility : Robots can be reprogrammed and repurposed for different tasks, providing flexibility in production processes. They can quickly adapt to changes in production requirements or new product lines.

20. Disadvantages High Initial Investment : The upfront cost of purchasing, installing, and programming robots can be very high. Maintenance and repair costs can also be significant over time.

21. Disadvantages Job Displacement : Replacing human workers with robots can lead to job losses, creating social and economic challenges. There may be resistance from employees and unions against automation.

22. Disadvantages Limited Capability : Robots may struggle with tasks requiring human judgment, creativity, or fine motor skills. They may not perform well in unpredictable environments or with tasks requiring high adaptability.

23. Disadvantages Technical Issues : Robots are prone to technical malfunctions and require regular maintenance. Downtime due to technical problems can disrupt production and lead to losses.

24. Disadvantages Training and Expertise : Employers need skilled personnel to program, operate, and maintain robots, which can require significant training and expertise. There is a continuous need to update skills as technology evolves.

25. Disadvantages Ethical and Legal Concerns : The use of robots raises ethical questions regarding the replacement of human workers and the societal impact of automation. Legal and regulatory issues may arise concerning the deployment of robots in the workplace.
