Introduction

The i-Cybie is an advanced robotic dog. Not as powerful as the famous Sony AIBO, but significantly less expensive. It can respond to sound, touch, voice commands and its own remote control but don't let that fool you i-Cybie has a fun repertoire of tricks it can perform, including telling you when his batteries are running low & also has a walk up charger to power itself . The i-Cybie has over 90 feet of wires and 16 motors. This makes it a very agile and a graceful robot which is capable of performing mechanical actions even the AIBO might find difficult to perform.

Sensors

• Motion sensors allow i-Cybie to detect movement around him. These are used when you place him in Guard mode.
• Obstacle sensors are used to navigate your home and avoid bumping into things.
• Not quite a sensor, but i-Cybie can interact with other i-Cybie's using it's built-in IR communicator, as long as the other dog is within 3 feet of him.
• With the touch sensor on his back you can pet him and he'll react to your touch.
• Sound sensors let i-Cybie respond to your voice commands or to clap commands. Voice commands require training with your voice as opposed to clap commands which do not require training.
• Tilt sensors let him know when he has fallen down.
• Edge detectors to avoid falling down.
• Light sensors let him detect changes in ambient light in your room.
