Notes:
Maximum possible score on the exam is 100 pts. Any bonus points will be
added to the exam score.
A sum of exam score and bonus points of at least 70 pts will be graded
as Fx, which means that the student is given the opportunity of
completing the grade to a passing grade after passing an oral exam.

Q 1:
Given a 7 DoF serial link manipulator like the one in the image below,
answer TRUE for each of the following pairs of quantities that we should
expect to be able to control independently, and FALSE for those that we
should not expect to be able to control independently. (Each correctly
marked pair gives 1p)
Q 2:
For each of the following grasp types, indicate whether they place strict
requirements on the contact friction between the gripper and the object
(mark TRUE), or not (mark FALSE). (Each correctly marked grasp gives
1p)
Q 4:
Q 5:
How many columns are there in the manipulator Jacobian for the Kuka
arm depicted in Q1? (Correct answer gives 4 p)
Q 7:
Q 9:
We denote the end-effector frame with e, and the world frame with w. Dot
notation implies time differentiation, i.e. x˙ = dx
dt
a) ẋ = Jq˙ (TRUE)
b) q̇ = Jx˙ (FALSE)
c) ẋ = w
T˙ e q˙ (FALSE)
d) q̇ = J T x˙ (FALSE)
What is the standard cycle time for the SCARA robot, as depicted
below? Standard cycle time is the time it takes to move from position A
to B and back to A again.
Q 11:
In a 2 dimensional configuration space with rectangular configuration
space obstacles, a path planning algorithm has returned a path that
passes very close to the corners (but not the midpoints of the sides) of
some of the obstacles. What algorithm is most likely to return such a
path? (correct answer gives 4pts)
a) The A* algoritm
b) RRT
c) RRT*
a) The A* algoritm
b) RRT
c) RRT*
Q13:

b) Disc shaped
c) None of the above
Q14:
Q16:
a) The larger the distance between the wheels the faster we can
rotate the robot given fixed wheel speeds. (FALSE)
b) The cheapest way to implement it, is to use a fixed axle between
the two wheels. (FALSE)
c) A third wheel is required to balance the robot. (FALSE)
d) Having wide wheels is good for the odometric precision. (FALSE)
