Q: A robot agricultural harvester which is a model for commercializing mobile robotics technology. It contains controllers, positioners, safeguards, and task software specialized to the needs commercial agriculture.A: Demeter

Q: A robot that is a remote reconnaissance system for structural analysis of the Chornobyl Unit 4 reactor building.A: Pioneer

Q: An eight-legged, tethered, robot that descended into the active crater of Mt. Spurr, an Alaskan volcano 90 miles west of Anchorage.A: Dante II

Q: Scientists sent an underwater telepresence remotely operated vehicle into the freezing Arctic Ocean waters to investigate the remains of a whaling fleet lost in 1871.A: TROV

Q: A bipedal humanoid robot designed to play table tennis against a human being.A: TOPIO ("TOSY Ping Pong Playing Robot")

Q: A dinosaur toy robotA: Pleo

Q: The first industrial robot created by George DevolA: Unimate

Q: A robot rover that explored was sent to explore MarsA: Sojourner

Q: …sent to explore SaturnA: Cassini

Q: …sent to explore the SunA: Ulysses

Q: …sent to explore JupiterA: Gallileo

Q: The first mobile robot to be able to reason about its own actions and has its own vision systemA: Shakey the robot

Q: Is a walking humanoid robot, head mounted on a life-size walking bipedal frame, developed by the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and released on January 6, 2005.A: HUBO (HUmanoid roBOt)

Q: In robotics, PUMA stands for:A: Programmable universal manipulation arm

Q: A humanoid robot designed to look like a femaleA: Gynoid

Q: First industrial robot with six electromechanically driven axesA: FAMULUS

Q: A concept related with dynamics and control of legged locomotion, e.g., for humanoid robots. It specifies the point with respect to which dynamic reaction force at the contact of the foot with the ground does not produce any moment, i.e. the point where total inertia force equals 0 (zero).A: Zero moment point

Q: A robotic vacuum cleaner that was first released in 2002 by the company iRobot.A: Roomba
