Entering guard mode
Pressing the autonomy button in shift-green will put Roboquad into guard
mode. He will move into his aware stance to look and listen for any
disturbances.
When Roboquad is put into guard mode, he will give you a short time to leave
the area (around 7 seconds) before he fully enters guard mode. He will do this
by counting down and performing an entry alert sound.
Guard mode scanning
The awareness level determines the scanning routine used in guard mode:
• Awareness Low:
- Scanner uses short distance.
- Head stays stationary
• Awareness Medium:
- Scanner uses medium distance.
- Head scans back and forth periodically.
• Awareness High:
- Scanner uses maximum distance.
- Head scans back and forth periodically.
- Roboquad will occasionally turn to face a different direction.
The sonic sensor is turned on in guard mode whenever Roboquad is not
moving.
Guard mode / Demos
Reactions
Roboquad will react to any sound or the presence of any object within his
scanning range. If there is a program in Roboquad's memory then he will
perform the program when disturbed.
If no program is in Roboquad's memory, then he uses the default reactions of
the aggression level he is in.
If the Aggression or Awareness level is changed while Roboquad is in guard
mode then the scanning routine or default reactions are updated without
exiting guard mode.
Exiting guard mode
Roboquad can exit from guard mode in four ways:
1. Pressing the stop button during guard mode will end guard mode.
2. Roboquad will exit guard mode if he is disturbed 10 consecutive times.
3. Guard mode will time out after 20 minutes and Roboquad will go
into sleep mode.
4. When inputting demo in program mode, there is a slight
chance that Roboquad will exit guard mode after playing the demo.
