Part 3 short answer
17) Agent and environment
18) Sensing layer- perceives information from the surrounding environment.
Interpretation layer- there is reasoning and thinking about the gathered input that is acquired by
the sensing layer & recognition for sensing images.
Interacting layer- it perform necessary tasks like robotic movement control and speech generation.
19) Structured data is data that has been organized in to a formatted repository typically a data base, so
that its elements can be made addressable for more effective processing and analysis.
Semi structured data is a form of structured data that does not obey the formal structure of data
models associated with relational data bases or other forms of data tables, but contains tag or other
markers to separate semantic elements and fields with in the data.
Unstructured data is information that either does not have a pre-defined data model or is not
organized in a pre-defined manner.
20) Volume, velocity, variety and veracity
21) A) emerging technology refer to technologies that are currently developing or that are expected to
be available in the next 5-10 years.
B) Technological evolution is a theory of radical transformation of society through technological
development.
c) Technology ‘’systematic treatment of an art, craft, or technique,’’ originally referring to grammar
from the meaning ‘’science of the mechanical and industrial arts’’ is first recorded in 1859.
d) Evolution is the process of developing by gradual changes.
E) Human machine interaction refer to communication and interaction between a human and a
machine.
F) Data science is a multi-disciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms, and
systems to extract knowledge and insights from structured, semi structured and unstructured data.
G) Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science by which we can create intelligent
machines which can behave, think & able to make decision like human.
22) Memory- devices store random information such as the contents of a spreadsheet.
Microprocessors- execute software instructions to perform a wide variety of tasks such as running a
word processing program or video game.
Logic- devices provide specific functions including device to device interfacing, data communication,
signal processing, and data display etc.…
Network – is a collection of computers, servers or other devices connected to one another to allow
the sharing of data. Like internet
23) Industrial revolution is the transition to new manufacturing processes that begun in Great Britain in
the late 1770s
Types of IR
The primary industry- involves getting raw materials. E.g. Farming & fishing
The secondary industry- involves manufacturing. E.g. making cars & steels
Tertiary industries- provide service. E.g. Nursing
The quaternary industry- involves research and development industries. E.g. IT
