ADVANCED OPERATION
ROBOPET’S™ SENSORS
OBSTACLE AVOIDANCE
ROBOPET™ USES HIS VISION SENSORS TO
AVOID 0BSTACLES WHILE WANDERING
AROUND. HE WILL STOP AND BACK UP
WHEN HE ENCOUNTERS AN OBSTACLE.
WHILE WALKING HE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
DETECT MOVEMENT SO HE WILL REACT TO
YOU AS IF YOU ARE AN OBSTACLE. PRESS
THE STOP BUTTON BEFORE TRYING TO
INTERACT WITH HIM.
EDGE DETECTION
ROBOPET™ HAS ADDITIONAL SENSORS TO DETECT THE
EDGE OF TABLES WHEN HE IS WALKING. WHEN HE COMES
TO THE EDGE OF A TABLE HE WILL KNOW THAT THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF HIM. HE WILL MAKE A SMALL CRY AND BACK UP.
• EDGE DETECTION WILL NOT FUNCTION SO WELL
UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT CONDITIONS OR ON VERY
DARK OR REFLECTIVE SURFACES. PLEASE TAKE CARE NOT TO LET ROBOPET™ WALK OFF THE EDGE OF A TABLE.
• IF ROBOPET™ DOES NOT WALK FORWARD, BUT CONTINUALLY CRIES AND WALKS BACKWARD YOU MAY NEED TO TURN
OFF EDGE DETECTION. TO DO THIS,
SLIDE THE POWER SWITCH TO THE
ON WITHOUT EDGE DETECTION POSITION
. HE WILL BE ABLE TO WALK ON ANY COLOR SURFACE, BUT HE WILL NOT SEE THE EDGE OF TABLES.
