Interacting with Joebot

Interacting.with.Joebot

Joebot is WowWee’s rst humanoid Robot which you can control and program using voice commands.

NOTE: Joebot is not equipped with edge detection, so keep him away from any edges from which

he can fall when he is wandering around. You can use voice command controls to steer him out of trouble!

IR.sensors

Joebot can “see” any object within 15 inches (40 cm)

directly in front of his hand projectors (when his arms are

fully extended, about 12 inches (30 cm) high), when in any

of his Robot modes (Battle, Game, Guard , or Patrol).

When he sees something, his hand and face LEDs will look

briey at the object and then turn away.

NOTE:.Joebot does not use his IR vision in all modes. He

only uses them in modes where his hands are outstretched or waving in front of him. He will stop

moving if you press one of his ngers, or if he accidentally presses one of his ngers when he hits a

wall or obstacle while walking around.

Voice.command.control

You can control Joebot using voice commands — there’s

no need for a remote controller! Joebot can recognize

a variety of different phrases if they are spoken slowly

and clearly. Joebot’s voice command control listens for the

length, volume and the tone of the words, instead of specic

words themselves.

To use voice command controls, start each command by

slowly and clearly saying “Robot” within about 1.5 feet

(50 cm) of his microphone. Joebot will then repeat the

word “Robot” and ash his chest LED. This means he is ready for a command.

You can then give him a voice command, such as “Forward!”, “Go left!” or “Back!”. Note that for

each different voice command, you need to say “Robot” before the command (except for “Stop!”).

For best results, speak slowly and clearly without pausing between words, within about 1.5 feet

(50 cm) from the microphone (located on top of his head). Make sure there are no loud noises in

the room that might confuse what he hears. Also, you should wait until he nishes talking before

giving him a new command.

Sometimes he might misunderstand your command and repeat a command that he didn’t hear.

This might be because he didn’t hear you properly, or is just kidding with you! Practice giving him

voice commands by trying to say them as he says them. If the room is too noisy, he will turn off his

hearing automatically after 5 seconds. In a noisy room, avoid using voice command controls.
