• Computer MAVRIC-IIB micro-controllers
• Language C programming in AVR studio
• Main Sensor SR-07 Voice Recognition Unit

  Sensor Range Function Location
1 SR-07 2 inches Voice Recognition u-phone on torso
2 Sonic SRF05 3cm - 4m Object detection Front of robot
3 Bump Sensor Contact Object detection Sides of Robot
4 Pyro Electro Untested Human Detection Highest point
5 Keypad Contact Number acquisition Robot Torso

• Actuation Gear Head Motors 12vdc 501 T, 6mm
  shaft
• Behaviors Object avoidance, human detection and
  data acquisition via speech.
• Function Find girls, get their numbers, and
  bring back to me.

Sensorable Talk

• SR-07 Voice Recognition
• Easily trained and interfaced
• Difficulty in small words and similar sounding
  words
• Trials in a controlled environment yielded
  satisfactory results.

4
Sonar Sounds Good

• SRF05 Ultrasonic Ranging
• Integrated and working well
• Maximum Distance 14 feet
• Avoiding objects at 9 inches

5
Pyroelectric

• Pyroelectric
• Detects the change in heat within its scope.
• Allows for the detection of animals
• Can be affected by any object radiating heat.
• Large input resistor to limit current.
• Output to be tied to ground to give the A/D
  reference voltage
• Different changes either raises or lowers the
  reference voltage.

6
Conclusions

• Sensors are working and understood
• Integration into behavior should provide no major
  obstacles.
• Testing in the environment and coding the
  behaviors with the sensors are Casarobas last
  barriers to begin the pimping.
