Questions

  1. Which of these sensors is of the LDS type?

A) LIDAR
B) Ultrasonic distance sensor
C) Capacitive sensors

  1. Where does the ROS master node have to live to perform navigation?

A) In the robot
B) In the robot and the laptop
C) In either the robot or the laptop

  1. What will happen if an obstacle is placed in the environment after the map has been built?

A) The robot will not detect it and may crash with it if it interferes with the planned path.
B) The local path planning will be taken into account to provide a modified path that avoids the obstacle.
C) You should rebuild the map with the new conditions before proceeding to the navigation task.

  1. Can you perform navigation without previously running SLAM with the robot?

A) No, because you have to build the map with the same robot that you will use for navigation.
B) Yes, the only condition is that you provide a premade map...
