What is the purpose of floor markings in a robot work area?

• A. Provide lighting
• B. Indicate hazard zones
• C. Transmit data
• D. Act as barrier

Answer: (B)

Floor markings in a robot work area visually define safety boundaries and hazard zones. They show people where the robot operates, where it’s safe to walk, and where access is restricted, helping prevent someone from entering the robot’s reach while it’s moving or performing tasks. They support safer maintenance and programming by clearly marking paths, restricted zones, and the procedures to follow when entering a robot cell. They aren’t meant to provide lighting, transmit data, or serve as a physical barrier; for that, you’d rely on lighting, data networks, or actual barriers like fences or guards.
