Question

Assertion (A): Hydraulic Robots are used in heavy payload applications.
Reason (R): Hydraulic Robots have high power to size ratios.

• A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
• B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
• C. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
• D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct

Hint:

Hydraulic systems = best choice for heavy load applications due to high force capability.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Robotic actuators determine the load handling capacity of robots. Hydraulic systems are known for high force generation.

Step 1: Analyze Assertion (A).
Hydraulic robots:
• Use pressurized fluid for actuation
• Can generate very large forces
• Are used in heavy-duty applications (e.g., construction, forging) Thus Assertion (A) is correct.

Step 2: Analyze Reason (R).
Hydraulic systems:
• Deliver high power output for small size
• Have high power-to-weight ratio Thus Reason (R) is correct.

Step 3: Logical connection.
Because hydraulic systems provide high power in compact size:
• They can handle heavy loads efficiently Thus Reason explains Assertion. Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) explains (A)}} \]
