Free-Roam Mode
Roboraptor™ will start to explore his environment autonomously in Free-Roam
Mode if left alone for more than three minutes.
Caution: [Do not put him near the edge of a table since he could fall off
when he becomes animated.]
You can also put Roboraptor™ into Free-Roam Mode manually by pressing “Shift”
and “Demo / Roam” .
While Roboraptor™ is in Free-Roam Mode he will avoid obstacles using his
Infrared Vision Sensors. Occasionally he will stop moving to see if he can
hear any sharp, loud sounds. (See “Stereo sound sensors” on page 8)
If you trigger any of Roboraptor™’s touch sensors or press a button on the
controller, Roboraptor™ will exit from Free-Roam Mode.
After 5 to 10 minutes of exploration Roboraptor™will power down. To wake
him up press the On/Off button twice.
Note: Shift will not stop Roboraptor™ from it’s Free-Roam Mode.
Guard Mode
Press “Shift” and “Bite / Guard” Mode to put Roboraptor™into Guard
Mode.
Roboraptor™will perform a head rotation to confirm that he is in Guard Mode.
In Guard Mode Roboraptor™is using his Infrared Vision Sensors and Stereo
Sound Sensors to guard the area immediately around him.
If he hears a sound or sees movement he will react with a roar and
become animated.
Occasionally Roboraptor™will turn his head and sniff.
After 30 minutes Roboraptor™will power down.
Caution: [Although Roboraptor™will not take any steps while he is in Guard
Mode, do not put him near the edge of a table since he could fall
off when he becomes animated.]

Touch Sensors
Roboraptor™has multiple sensors which allow him to explore his
environment and respond to human interaction.

Advanced Operation
Stereo Sound Sensors:
Roboraptor™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™ 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™will nuzzle your
hand if you approach from the side.
In Cautious Mood, Roboraptor™will turn his head away
from movement to the side.
In Hunting Mood, his reactions are much less friendly!
