Vision
Q: My robot keeps staring at strange objects around the room.
What is he looking at?
A: He "sees" using Infra Red (I/R) light, a light too "red" for
humans to see. However, many appliances, computer screens,
TVs, and dimmed lighting emit I/R light which your robot can be
attracted to, so he'll just naturally turn to have a look.
If your robot seems to be "distracted" by objects in the
surrounding environment and isn't performing the commands you
request, try moving him to another area, or pressing the "b"
button on his controller to disable his vision abilities.
Q: My robot only sees me intermittently. What's wrong?
A: If your robot hears something loud, his vision turns off
until he figures out where the sound is coming from (about three
seconds unless he hears another sound).
and then blink at one second intervals during this mode to let
you know he's in listen mode.
If you're testing your Robosapien™V2's vision in a noisy place, be
sure to press the "a" button to disable his hearing. He'll now
pay much better attention to you.
Q: Sometimes he doesn't recognize things placed in front of him.
What's wrong?
A: One of the robot's secrets is that he "sees" with his ears, not
with his eyes. Therefore, when you show him something, it has to
be big enough to be "seen" by the eye "cone" of both ears;
otherwise he'll just say "what is that?" and regard it as a
regular object. (Refer to Illustration on page 10.)
