   Hint

   Think about what can directly influence a robot's movement.

2. 2.

   What is the significance of understanding external disturbances?

   Hint

   Remember why we need resilience in robotics.

3. 3.

   What are external disturbances?

   • A. Internal forces acting on robots
   • B. Forces affecting robot dynamics from external sources
   • C. Only environmental effects

   Hint

   Consider interactions outside the robot itself.

   Hint

   Consider sensory feedback mechanisms.

6. 6.

   Evaluate how a mobile robot can navigate through a forest affected by strong winds and uneven terrain.

   Hint

   Think about stability controls and decision-making.
