ADVANCED OPERATION
steReo sound sensoRs
Roboraptor Blue™ can detect sharp, loud sounds (like a clap) to his left, his right and directly ahead. He only listens when he is not moving or
making a noise.
Hunting Mood
When he hears a sharp sound to his side he will turn his head to look at the source.
If he hears another sharp sound from the same direction he will turn his body towards the source.
If he hears a sharp sound directly in front of him he will take a few steps toward the source.
Cautious Mood
When he hears a sharp sound to his side he will turn his head to look at the source.
If he hears a sound straight ahead he will walk away from it.
Playful Mood
When he hears a sharp sound to his side he will turn his head to look at the source.
If he hears a sound straight ahead, he will take a few steps backward, then take a few
steps forward.
inFRaRed Vision sensoRs
Roboraptor Blue™ has Infrared Vision Sensors that enable him to detect movement
to either side of him. The sensors react best to movement in the area just in front
of his nose as shown.
In Playful Mood Roboraptor Blue™ will nuzzle your hand if you approach from the side.
In Cautious Mood, Roboraptor Blue™ will turn his head away from movement to the side.
In Hunting Mood, his reactions are much less friendly!

ADVANCED OPERATION
If you trigger the Vision Sensor on one side more than three times in a row,
Roboraptor Blue™ will get frustrated and will turn away from you. This will also happen
if you leave him standing with his head facing a wall.
obstaCle aVoidanCe
Roboraptor Blue™ uses his Vision Sensors to avoid obstacles while wandering around.
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. Roboraptor
Blue™’s Infrared Vision System is based on reection. This means that he can see highly
reective surfaces like white walls or mirrors more easily and at greater distances.
undeRstandinG youR RoboRaptoR blue™
Roboraptor Blue™ walks best on smooth surfaces. Use the two faster walking speeds on rough surfaces like carpets. Roboraptor Blue™ responds
to remote control commands more easily when you are in front of him. He will not see as well if the controller is behind him.
Note: infrared functions can be affected by bright sunlight, uorescent and electronically dimmed lighting. Upon activation Roboraptor Blue™
will be sensitive to sound, vision and touch.
