Try these first

1. 1.

   What is a Risk Assessment Report?

   Hint

   Consider what reports are used for safety evaluations.

2. 2.

   Why are Emergency Stop Mechanisms important?

   Hint

   Think about safety responses to accidents.

3. 3.

   What is the primary aim of a Risk Assessment Report?

   • To document success
   • To identify hazards
   • To promote robotics

   Hint

   Consider what needs to be documented for safety.

4. 4.

   True or False: Emergency stop mechanisms are optional in robotics.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Attempt to visualize a scenario without an emergency stop.

5. 5.

   Given a scenario where a robot malfunctions at a construction site, how would you implement a risk assessment process? What elements must be prioritized?

   Hint

   Break down the process into initial hazard identification followed by what to do after the incident.

6. 6.

   Analyze the implications of not having cyber security measures in place for a robotic system. What could go wrong?

   Hint

   Consider why sensitive systems should always be protected against unauthorized access.
