Words run in any of eight directions, backwards included — if one refuses to turn up, try reading the grid right to left.
Robotics word list, defined
- ROBOTICS /ˈrɒbɒtɪks/ · noun
- The branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing. Related: mechanics, automation, cybernetics, mechatronics.
- SENSOR /ˈsɛnsər/ · noun
- A device that detects or measures a physical parameter, such as temperature, pressure, or light, and converts it into a signal that can be read by an electronic device. Related: detector, transducer, gauge, meter.
- ACTUATOR /ˈæktʃueɪtər/ · noun
- A mechanical or electronic device that converts an input signal, usually electrical, hydraulic, or pneumatic energy, into physical motion or action. Actuators are the components that make machines move, open valves, adjust controls, and perform work. Related: motor, drive, servo, mechanism.
- CIRCUIT /ˈsɜːkɪt/ (British), /ˈsɜːrkət/ (US) · noun, verb
- A closed path that an electric current flows around, or a complete route or circuitous journey that begins and ends at the same point. As a verb, to circuit is to travel around or make a circuit of something. Related: loop, route, round, path.
- PROGRAMMING /ˈprɔɡræmɪŋ/ · noun
- The process of writing, testing, debugging, and maintaining the source code of computer programs. The art or practice of writing computer programs. Related: coding, software development, app development, computer science.
- ALGORITHM /ˈælɡəˌrɪðəm/ · noun
- A finite sequence of well-defined instructions or rules for solving a problem or performing a computation, typically expressed in a form that can be carried out mechanically or by a computer. Related: procedure, method, process, routine.
- AUTOMATION /ˌɔːtəˈmeɪʃən/ · noun
- The use of largely automatic equipment or systems in a factory, office, or other setting, so that processes formerly done by hand or with direct human control are carried out by machines or computers. More broadly, the technique of making any process operate automatically, with minimal human intervention. Related: mechanization, robotization, computerization, automatization.
- MECHANISM /mɪˈkænɪzəm/ · noun
- A system of parts working together in a machine or a process, or a device or system that produces a particular effect or result. A mechanism can also refer to a process or system that is not necessarily mechanical, such as a social or economic mechanism. Related: system, process, device, machine.
- KINEMATICS /kɪˈnæmɪtɪks/ · noun
- The branch of mechanics that deals with the motion of objects without reference to the forces that cause the motion. It is concerned with the description and analysis of the motion of objects. Related: mechanics, dynamics, motion, kinetics.
- DYNAMICS /daɪˈnæmɪks/ · noun
- The branch of mechanics concerned with the motion of bodies under the action of forces; more broadly, the forces, processes, and patterns of change that drive activity or development within a system or group. Related: mechanics, forces, workings, interplay.
- CONTROL /kənˈtrəʊl/ (UK); /kənˈtroʊl/ (US) · noun, verb
- The power or authority to direct, regulate, or command the behavior of a person, process, or thing; also, as a verb, to exercise such power or to keep something within limits. Related: command, authority, mastery, dominion.
