Try these first

1. 1.

   What are cobots?

   Hint

   Think about the safety features designed for them.

2. 2.

   Name a mode of interaction between humans and robots.

   Hint

   Consider how we might 'talk' to a robot.

3. 3.

   What is a key feature of cobots that allows them to work safely alongside humans?

   • High-speed operation
   • Force-limiting sensors
   • Heavy lifting capabilities

   Hint

   Think about what keeps workers safe.

4. 4.

   True or False: Cobots do not have any safety features.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Recall what we discussed about cobots.

5. 5.

   Consider a construction site scenario where a human worker needs to direct a cobot to lay bricks. Discuss potential challenges they might face and how effective interaction can help overcome them.

   Hint

   Think about how cues can help both parties.

6. 6.

   Analyze how Augmented Reality (AR) could enhance the construction workflow on a site where cobots are employed.

   Hint

   Consider using visuals to help with complex tasks.
