A sorting module separate objects based on measurements taken by the sensors, writing them to the correct location using a series of actuators, gates, and __________.

• A. Conveyors
• B. Grippers
• C. Pumps
• D. Switches

Answer: (A)

Transport and routing of sorted items is the idea here. After the sensors classify an object, the system uses actuators and gates to direct it onto the correct path, and conveyors carry the item to its destination. This setup provides continuous or indexed movement along the line, enabling high-throughput sorting. Grippers could handle individual items, but for a module that sorts and moves many items efficiently, conveyors act as the moving backbone. Pumps move fluids, not solids, and switches refer to signals or sensing, not the main transport mechanism.
