ADVANCED OPERATION
ROBOPET’S™ SENSORS
FALL DETECTION
ROBOPET™ HAS TILT SENSORS BUILT INTO HIM THAT ALLOW HIM TO SENSE IF HE FALLS OVER. IF HE FALLS ONTO HIS SIDE OR HIS BACK DURING OPERATION HE WILL MAKE A SMALL NOISE AND ATTEMPT TO PICK HIMSELF UP.
IF ROBOPET™ CANNOT PICK HIMSELF UP AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS, HE WILL GIVE UP AND POWER DOWN INTO SLEEP MODE. YOU CAN WAKE HIM UP BY HOLDING THE STOP/ SLEEP BUTTON FOR 5 SECONDS.
FALL DETECTION DOES NOT WORK DURING DEMO AND PROGRAM EXECUTION, IF ROBOPET™ FALLS OVER ONTO HIS BACK DURING DEMO OR PROGRAM PLAY, HE WON’T RECOVER UNTIL HE FINISHED THE DEMO OR PROGRAM.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR ROBOPET™
•ROBOPET™ IS SET UP TO SEE REMOTE CONTROL COMMANDS MORE EASILY WHEN YOU ARE IN FRONT OF HIM. HE WILL NOT SEE SO WELL IF THE CONTROLLER IS BEHIND HIM.
•INFRARED FUNCTIONS LIKE CONTROLLER COMMANDS, EDGE DETECTION AND HIS INFRARED VISION SENSORS, CAN BE AFFECTED BY BRIGHT SUNLIGHT, FLUORESCENT AND ELECTRONICALLY DIMMED LIGHTING.
•ROBOPET’S™ INFRARED VISION SYSTEM IS BASED ON REFLECTION. THIS MEANS THAT HE CAN SEE HIGHLY REFLECTIVE SURFACES LIKE WHITE WALLS OR MIRRORS MUCH MORE EASILY AND AT GREATER DISTANCES THAN HE CAN SEE MATTE OR BLACK SURFACES.
•DO NOT FORCE THE LEGS OR TWIST THE WAIST OF ROBOPET™ UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. DOING SO WILL DAMAGE THE INTERNAL MOTORS AND MECHANISMS.
•IF ROBOPET™ MISBEHAVES AND DOES NOT COMPLETE TRICKS OR THE DEMO SEQUENCE, RESET THE ROBOPET™ BY TURNING HIM OFF AND ON AGAIN.
