Monday (3/9/09)
Warmup:
- An automated robot is used to cut shapes from steel sheets. If the robot's cutting blade becomes both hot and blunt the robot must stop so that the blade can cool and be resharpened. Sensors S1 (hot state) and S2 (blunt state) are attached to the blade to detect these states. Water from a container is used to keep the blade cool during cutting. If the water level falls below a certain point a sensor S3 detects this state and the robot stops irrespective of the other states. A logic circuit is required to control the robot so that it stops cutting when the appropriate states occur.
- Create the Boolean table that represents the above logic
