MU User Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing MU by Morpx and join our journey to bring vision and AI to all toys and

educational robots! MU is started from the simple idea of replacing remote controls with a more

natural ways of interaction. Today, with MU, your toys are no longer dummies controlled using

buttons or screens, but robots that can sense the environment and have their own minds of

“playing”, based on a set of rules programmed in their software.

MU is our first milestone in this direction and you are invited to experience what we've created.

To get you started quickly, MU is pre-loaded with models that can detect faces, people

silhouettes, lines, balls, fingers, and many remote-control codes of popular robotic kits. Take a

few minutes to look through this user manual and enjoy your robot building time with MU!

Warning •DO NOT immerse MU or other parts in the water or any kind of liquid. •DO NOT drop MU as this may damage the camera and the PCB assembly. •Small parts, not for children under 3 years old. Battery •How to charge the battery MU uses rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery. To charge it, insert the USB cable to the micro-USB port on the back of MU. Insert the other side of the cable to a standard USB port. ○ When MU is charging, the charging light is on.

Getting Started MU works with a robotic body by sending remote control commands. Just imagine a toy having its remote control on top of its head.. Currently, MU supports the control commands of Lego Mindstorms EV3, Lego Power Functions, Hexbug Spider, and Hexbug Fire ant. MU uses infra-red (IR) technology to send control signals, theoretically any infra-red controlled toy can potentially be controlled by MU. We will add newly supported toys through firmware updates in our online forum (forum.morpx.com).

Mode Button For a MU to work on a toy robot, it has to know what the toy is and what target object is selected for MU to detect. These two pieces of information are selected using the mode button at the back of MU. Long press the mode button will switch among the supported toy mode. MU will give voice confirmation of each toy mode after the long press. For each toy type, there may be different target modes that MU will search and track. Short press the mode button to switch among these target modes.

The general behavior of the pre-programmed MU is searching, detecting and following. When MU detects a target object, it will play a sound and drive the toy to follow it. Otherwise MU will drive the toy around to find the target. Note that If multiple target objects appear, MU might switch between the targets. You should adjust the mount direction when the target mode is changed to make it easier for MU to spot the target. NOTE: The viewing angle of MU is about 40° horizontally in front of the camera.
