comparing the front view to determine the launch angle. Please make
sure that you don’t step in front of the camera during patrol setup and
patrol. If both patrol setup and the patrol are in the same lighting
condition, e.g. both in night vision, the initial angle is calibrated with
better accuracy.
iii) Patrol in open space. The team is still improving the algorithm. For
now, each time the bot performs obstacle avoidance, the accuracy
drops down. Fewer obstacles, the bot can be more accurate to follow
the pre-programmed path.
iv) Always start with simple patrol loops. End the patrol path setup 3ft
in front of the charger so that the bot won’t run behind the charger.
v) Calibrate the IMU sensors from time to time via the App. Setup ->
Control -> Calibrate IMU Sensor. During calibration, the bot should be
on a leveled surface, so that gravity won’t affect other planes. Each
time the bot is reset, the IMU is calibrated on the first power up. It is
recommended to lay down the bot on a leveled surface during power
up.
Why doesn’t Scout build an indoor map?
Scout doesn’t build a map and patrol in fully autonomous mode. This
is mainly due to privacy concerns. Unlike vacuums, Scout is an IP
camera that can be accessed from anywhere in the world. Letting it
wander around the house and building an indoor map may cause
security issues. Robot developers can do more with open-source. The
Mono-SLAM is developed on Scout’s platform. At the default product
level, Scout doesn’t build a map and doesn’t conduct patrol in fully
autonomous mode.
What is Scout's top speed?
Scout can move up to 2km/hr speed.
What is the maximum obstacle that a Scout can cross?
The maximum height of obstacles to cross is 15mm.
What is the maximum slope that Scout can climb?
The maximum slope to climb is 25 degrees.
How long can the battery last?
