IntelliBrain-Bot Introduction

IntelliBrain-Bot Demo Program

Function Description

Do Nothing The robot does not attempt to move. This allows you to test the sensors. You will find this is extremely useful for debugging sensor problems.

Play Tune Plays Beethoven’s tune “Ode to Joy” using the buzzer.

Remote Control Allows you to remotely control the robot using a Sony compatible infrared remote control. Use the channel up button to move the robot forward, the channel down button to move it backward, the volume up button to rotate right and the volume down button to rotate left. (Requires a Sony compatible infrared remote control. Most universal remote controls will work if programmed for a Sony television.)

Navigate Forward

Uses wheel encoder sensors and navigation classes (provided in the RoboJDE class library) to navigate the robot straight ahead 24 inches.

IntelliBrain-Bot Demo Program

Function Description

Rotate 180 Uses wheel encoder sensors and navigation classes to rotate the robot in place 180 degrees.

Navigate Square Uses wheel encoder sensors and navigation classes to navigate the robot around a 16 inch square.

Random Dance Uses software generated random numbers to perform a dance made up of random steps.

Follow Line Uses line sensors to enable your robot to follow a black line on a white surface.

Avoid Obstacles Uses wheel encoder sensors, navigation classes, and infrared range sensors to navigate your robot 24 inches forward and back to where it started, avoiding obstacles along the way.

Follow Object Uses the ultrasonic range sensor to maintain a distance of 6 inches from an object in front of your robot, creating a tractor beam effect.
