The CatScan Robot sits patiently waiting for one of our cats (Zena or Keslo) to investigate. When the CatScan Robot "sees" a cat it looks left, right, and center to determine if the our cat has moved. Then the CatScan Robot chases toward the cat. It continues to chase the cat until a cat is not found. If it doesn't find a cat; it starts waiting patiently again until one comes around to play again. Hours of robot fun for the home (and the cats).
In this video demonstration our FSLBOT plays the role of a cat being chased. The custom code is downloaded to a PICAXE28 microcontroller. The scanner is a Sharp Analog Infra-Red Rangefinder mounted to a servo. The CatScan robot runs on 4.5VDC.
