Battery Installation Battery Requirements: Your Robopet™ is powered by 4 x “AAA” size batteries (not included). Your remote controller is powered by 3 x “AAA” size batteries (not included). Battery Installation: 1. Before installing or changing batteries, ensure the robopet™’s ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position. 2. Remove the battery compartment covers using a Phillips or crosshead screwdriver (not included). 3. Insert batteries (not included) into the Robopet™ and controller as shown in the diagrams. 4.
Basic Operation Turn Robopet™ on using the Power Switch next to the battery compartment. You can turn him on with or without Edge Detection. (See Robopet™ Diagram on page 2 and Edge Detection on page 12.) A MIND OF HIS OWN Robopet™ is a naturally active robot with a strong personality and a mind of his own. When you turn him on he will autonomously explore his environment and perform actions and tricks as he wanders around.
Basic Operation • • Push Stop to make Robopet™ stop after completing his current action. Robopet™ will wait for about 10 seconds before returning to his Autonomous Behavior Mode. If you push Stop when Robopet™ is standing still he will sit down. If you push Stop when Robopet™ is sitting he will stand up. Push Demo to make Robopet™ perform a demo sequence. TRICK SELECTION • You can make Robopet™ perform tricks using the Tricks button and the Execute button .
Basic Operation • • Press Execute to tell the Robopet™ to perform your selected trick. Robopet™ performs tricks best upon smooth, hard, flat surfaces and when his batteries are fresh. If he has difficulty performing tricks or is too slow, move him to a different surface or change his batteries.
Advanced Operation PROGRAMMING YOUR ROBOPET™ You can program a sequence of up to 20 moves and tricks using the controller. 1) Press Program to enter Program Mode. Robopet™ will make a small noise. 2) Enter movement and trick commands as usual. a) Forward and Backward will make Robopet™ move forward or backward. b) Turn Left and Turn Right will make Robopet™ walk an arc. c) Stop will make Robopet™ wait for 3 seconds.
Advanced Operation GUARD MODE 1) you can tell robopet™ to guard his environment by pressing the guard mode button . Robopet™ will make a sound to confirm the command and then sit down. 2) in guard mode, robopet™ will use his sound sensor and infrared vision sensors to react to movement and sound nearby. 3) when he detects a disturbance robopet™ will react by standing up and making a lot of noise. after this display he will sit down again and continue to guard.
Advanced Operation TRAINING YOUR ROBOPET™ While Robopet™ is wandering around autonomously he will perform tricks. You can encourage and discourage the tricks that he performs using the buttons on the controller. 1) Good Pet : If you want him to perform a trick more often, press the Good Pet button within 4 seconds of the trick being performed. Robopet™ will respond with a pleased action. You can press the button again within 4 seconds to really encourage Robopet™ to perform the trick.
Advanced Operation ROBOPET’S™ SENSORS Robopet™ is equipped with multiple sensors that allow him to explore his environment and respond to human interaction. SOUND SENSOR Robopet™ can detect sharp, loud sounds. He only listens when he is sat down and not moving or making a noise. When he hears a noise he will stand up and walk forward or perform a trick. The Sound Sensor is also used in Guard Mode (see Guard Mode, page 9.
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.
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.
