ROBOQUAD™
Roboquad is an animated robot with unique multi-directional movement capabilities and advanced sensory awareness. Featuring multi-colored flashing lights and techno sound effects, Roboquad is the first true robotic arthropod. Change his Awareness, Activity or Aggression levels to completely alter his personality and behaviors.
RoboQuad is a four-legged, intelligent robotic arthropod. Just like its insect, arachnid and crustacean brothers RoboQuad has extraordinary multi-directional movement capabilities and advanced sensory awareness. Equipped with a deep infra-red scanner and fast scanning head, RoboQuad’s sophisticated eyes can sense movement from up to 1.8 metres away!
The remote control has an 8-way directional pad, allowing it to move its legs together or individually and it even does routine checks to make sure each leg is in working order. RoboQuad is fully equipped with both dance and movement demos that showcase a remarkable range of motion!
RoboQuad is quite the character, with three controllable personality settings! You have the ability to manage its Awareness, Activity or Aggression levels which directly affect the way it reacts to your presence and objects nearby. Switch the Aggression level to high and RoboQuad will change from a shy robot into one feisty character! Turn its Activity level to high and you will have one quick and responsive robot on your hands! In Guard mode, RoboQuad becomes aware of its surroundings, looking and listening for any disturbances. Roboquad will then respond differently depending on the Aggression level to any sound or object within its Awareness range.
Roboquad can be directed by remote control or left in autonomous mode to explore its environment, scanning and avoiding obstacles on its own. Roboquad is completely programmable so you can plan specific walking or motion routines with a sequence of up to 40 commands for a complete interactive experience. Each time you give RoboQuad a program command, it will perform the move and make an affirmative sound.

Smart scan: examines surroundings then reacts if anything changes; reacts according to aggression and activity levels
Scan left and scan right: will turn and face any object within a 3 foot range, on his left or right side
Approach nearest object: looks left and right while ramping up the scanning range and moves towards the closest object found
escape walk: will select the largest open space and move toward it
flinch response: if an object approaches his scanner very quickly he will react, according to his aggression level
Volume control
