Answer Key

#	Answer
1	A robot is a machine that can do tasks by following instructions or a program.
2	They can observe animals, collect data, or reach places that are hard for people to go.
3	A sensor helps the robot sense things such as light, sound, touch, or distance.
4	Fur.
5	A robot can stay farther away or move without frightening the animal as much.
6	Examples: gecko, bird, fish, snake, bat, or insect.
7	A program is a set of instructions that tells a robot what to do.
8	A fish.
9	Sensors help the robot notice its environment and react safely and correctly.
10	It could collect images, movement information, and sounds from animals.
11	Legs, because they can help the robot climb and grip branches better than wheels or a sled.
12	It may need to survive bumps, rough ground, or weather.
13	It could move through the area and record sightings or take pictures for counting.
14	A distance sensor.
15	To avoid scaring or harming the animals.
16	Snake-like, because it can fit and move through narrow spaces more easily.
17	An actuator makes the robot move or perform an action.
18	The robot may need to adjust its behavior or move to keep collecting good data.
19	It can monitor habitats, find problems, and alert people without disturbing animals too much.
20	It can fly over the area and see animals without getting too close.
21	Possible answers: waterproof parts, quiet movement, camera, microphone, distance sensor, or stable legs.
22	The sensor gathers information, and the program tells the robot how to respond to that information.
23	Because the robot must work safely and effectively in that environment.
24	It should avoid making loud noises, moving too fast, or disturbing the pandas.
25	A fish-inspired robot is made for water movement, while a bird-inspired robot is made for air or flying movement.
26	Examples: wet conditions, thick plants, mud, low light, or many obstacles.
27	It can record patterns such as when animals move, eat, rest, or gather together.
28	Wide wheels or legs could help it avoid sinking into the sand.
29	Sample answer: A turtle robot for studying rabbits could have quiet wheels, a camera, and a distance sensor. Any reasonable animal and three helpful features are acceptable.
30	They can move in ways that fit the habitat and collect information without disturbing animals. Example: a snake-like robot can explore tight spaces to study lizards.
