What Are the Differences Between AI and Robots?

Have you ever wondered if artificial intelligence (AI) and robots are the same thing? This fun and engaging quiz is designed just for kids aged 11 to 14 who are curious about technology. You’ll explore how AI and robots are connected, what makes them different, and how they work in the world around you. We’ll guide you through interesting questions in everyday language — no tricky technical words or boring explanations here!

By the end of the quiz, you’ll understand why AI is often called a “thinking program” and why a robot is a machine with a body that can move. You’ll also discover how some robots use AI, while others just follow simple instructions. Ready to test your knowledge and impress your friends and teachers? Let’s get started!

1 .
What is artificial intelligence (AI)?
A robot that moves around
A computer program that can think and learn
A type of superhero
A fancy remote control
AI is a computer program that can “think” and learn from data — it doesn’t have a body or wheels like a robot.
2 .
What is a robot?
A moving machine that can sometimes use AI
A giant chocolate bar
A type of video game character
A kind of magic spell
A robot is a machine that can move or do tasks — and while some robots use AI, not all do.
3 .
Can AI work without a robot body?
No, it always needs a body
Yes, it can live in computers or phones
Only if it’s really small
Only if it has wheels
AI doesn’t need a robot body — it can work inside software on devices like computers, phones, or tablets.
4 .
Can a robot work without using any AI?
No, it always needs AI
Only if it’s a toy
Yes, some robots follow simple rules without AI
Only if it has a human driver
Some robots work by following simple instructions, without using AI or learning systems — like basic machines or toys.
5 .
Which of these is an example of AI without a robot?
A smart assistant on your phone
A dancing robot toy
A robot vacuum cleaner
A mechanical claw in an arcade
Smart assistants like Siri or Google Assistant use AI but don’t have a robot body — they live only inside devices.
6 .
Which of these is a robot that might use AI?
A self-driving car
A frisbee
A bicycle
A school backpack
A self-driving car is a robot that uses AI to sense its surroundings and make decisions — very advanced!
7 .
What’s something AI can do that robots without AI can’t?
Move their arms
Make loud noises
Learn and improve from new data
Spin their wheels
AI systems can learn and improve over time by analysing data — simple robots just follow preset instructions.
8 .
What part of a robot holds its AI system?
Its legs
Its wheels
Its control system or computer brain
Its paint or colour
If a robot uses AI, it’s stored in the robot’s control system — not in its outer parts like legs or paint.
9 .
Which of these can a robot with AI do?
Eat a sandwich
Ride a skateboard
Brush its own hair
Play music by learning your favourite songs
A robot with AI can learn your music tastes and play songs — but it can’t eat, skateboard, or brush hair!
10 .
What’s the biggest difference between AI and a robot?
AI wears a hat, robots do not
Robots live in space, AI lives on Earth
AI only works at night, robots work all day
AI is just software, robots have a body
AI is software (a program) that runs inside devices, while robots are physical machines that may or may not use AI.
