The __________ is composed of programs made up of commands or code that is written using a language such as Basic, C, or Assembler.

• A. Unimate invented by Devol and Engelberger
• B. Sensory System
• C. Structural System
• D. Computing System

Answer: (D)

In robotics, the computing system is the part that stores and runs software written in languages like Basic, C, or Assembler. This system includes the processor and memory that execute a set of programs—each program is a sequence of commands that tells the robot how to behave, from basic motor actions to complex decision-making. The computing system acts as the brain, translating code into actions by the hardware, and it coordinates with sensors and actuators to perform tasks. The other options point to different aspects: a single industrial robot like Unimate is a device, a sensory system handles data from sensors, and a structural system is the physical frame.
