2-2. Behavior Control Program
A robot is a machine that can behave in various ways. However, it can do so only
when there is a program that tells how the robot should act for a certain
situation. This program is called the “behavior control program.” A behavior
control program is a series of rules that define the action a robot should take for
the given state. Insert the provided CD into the PC and install the software used
for creating the behavior control program.
Installation You can install following three programs.
Behavior Control Programmer
Motion Editor
Robot Terminal
The following screen appears when you run the behavior control programmer.
Input and Output The behavior control program takes the form of a series of rules that mutually
connect the input and output. For example, let’s say that we want to build a
robot dog that stands up when you clap once and sits down when you clap twice.
The input item (clap once or twice) and the output item (stand up or sit down)
have to be predefined. Also, behavior rules need to be defined that tells what
behavior to output for the given input item (clap once or twice).
