Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A rebar tying robot is programmed to tie bars at specific points. If the robot's IK fails, resulting in misaligned ties, outline the possible causes and suggest solutions.

💡 Hint: Consider what elements of programming can lead to miscalculations in needed movements.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss the impact of collision avoidance strategies that can be implemented in the IK algorithms for a rebar tying robot working in constrained spaces.

💡 Hint: Think about how technology helps enhance the functioning of robots in tight spots.
