Title: Apply direct and indirect measurement systems and coordinate systems.
Course: Technology of Robotic Design (21009-36) > Section: Exploring Control Systems and Robotic Systems

Application should include selecting the system and measurement methods (e.g., standard, metric), including

- direct measurement—reading and interpreting from a measuring device (e.g., micrometer, caliper, scales, sensing devices)
- indirect measurement—calculating (i.e., using algebraic expression) the measurement of an unknown, based on other known dimensions/measurements.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are the criteria for choosing between direct readings and indirect calculations?
- What are the advantages and limitations of direct vs. indirect measurement methods?
- How does the choice of measurement device depend on the specific requirements of the task in manufacturing?
