3. Define what is a sensor and give 2 examples.
Design a rational agent for a robot that searches through a room in Grid-Space World until a wall outlet is discovered.
The room is rectangular, and is assumed to contain no obstacles. An infrared sensor attached to the outlet indicates when the robot has reached this location. Once the outlet is found, the agent should plug itself into the wall (and stop searching for an outlet!).
A photoelectric sensor on the front of the robot carriage indicates when the agent is facing a wall. The simple motor attached to the unit can move forward, or turn either 90 degrees to the left or right.
a) Completely detail the environment for the problem above.
b) Construct a mapping from percept to action (design the agent function).
The task will involve investigation, selection and evaluation of suitable sensors and development of a processor-based measurement and display system which could be used for obstacle detection/avoidance.
Your system must measure and display the sensor information and indicate:
if an object has been detected,
the location within the 135-degree field of view and the distance from the robot.

- Show every step please not Ai generated im trying to understand what im doing wrong.arrow_forwardSpeed reduction, either through gearing or belt-pulley constructs, is an important element in motion system design. Similarly, converting rotary motion to linear motion is an important consideration. Considering a printer system driven by a stepper motor with 200 steps per revolution, construct a table that shows the relationships for: a. Position resolution of the print head vs. angular position of the motor. This translates to addressable print dots per mm vs. step angle. b. Print head speed (mm/S) vs. motor speed (Steps/S with rpm also noted) C. Frictional load at the print head (mN) vs. reflected torque at the motor (mNM) Mass of the print head vs. reflected inertia to the motor d. Use GR for Speed Reduction, r (mm) for the radius of the drive pulley, and m (grams) for print-head mass..
