Question

question #9

1. an engineer likes that the robot has an ultrasonic sensor at the front and on the side, and wants to put a touch sensor on the side of the robot, too. is this a good idea?/ a un ingeniero le gusta que el robot tenga un sensor ultrasónico en la parte frontal y lateral, y también quiere ponerle un sensor táctil en el lateral. ¿es buena idea?

no, because the touch sensor uses boolean (true/false) values, so there should only ever be one for each robot./ no, porque el sensor táctil utiliza valores booleanos (verdadero/falso), por lo que solo debería haber uno para cada robot.
no, because the robot cannot move sideways into things, so the touch sensor would not be very useful./ no, porque el robot no puede moverse lateralmente hacia las cosas, por lo que el sensor táctil no sería muy útil.
yes, because the robot has too many sensors on the front and not enough on the side./ sí, porque el robot tiene demasiados sensores en la parte frontal y no suficientes en los laterales.
yes, because having more sensors will always make the robot better./ sí, porque tener más sensores siempre hará que el robot sea mejor.

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• First option: Touch sensors' Boolean nature doesn't limit their quantity per robot, so this is incorrect.
• Second option: Robots typically move forward/backward, not sideways into objects. A side touch sensor would have limited use as the robot doesn't move laterally into things, making this a valid reason.
• Third option: The robot having "too many front sensors" isn't established, and adding a side touch sensor isn't justified by that, so this is wrong.
• Fourth option: More sensors don't always improve a robot (e.g., redundant or useless sensors), so this is incorrect.

Answer:

B. No, because the robot cannot move sideways into things, so the touch sensor would not be very useful./ No, porque el robot no puede moverse lateralmente hacia las cosas, por lo que el sensor táctil no sería muy útil.
