Chapter 1 Introduction
1-4 ER1 User Guide
• Remote Control allows you to use a customer-supplied wireless network to
teleoperate the robot from your PC.
• Obstacle Avoidance provides the robot with a rudimentary visual obstacle
avoidance capability through a second camera (second camera not included in base
package).
• Behavior-Based Programming allows you to specify certain events as triggers for
one or more robot actions. For example, you can tell the robot to move forward 5
feet when it hears you say “Come here robot”. You can string these condition/action
behaviors together to perform complex tasks.
• Standard Menus provide standard Windows features for setting preferences,
saving and retrieving programs, etc.
