Chapter 8 Settings
• Must see another object before allowing a repeat - If this checkbox is selected,
the robot will not vocally identify an object more than once per encounter. This
option is set to off by default.
• Interrupt current sound to play a new one - This option allows the robot to
interrupt its audio output to play a new sound. For example, say your robot is
playing a CD and it sees the dog. It can stop to say "Dog" and then continue playing
the CD. If this box is not checked, sounds are played sequentially. This checkbox is
selected by default.
• Text to speech voice - This pull-down menu is used to select the voice that the
robot will use to read text. The system default voice is "default voice".
Remote Control Tab
This tab is used to enable, disable and customize your remote control parameters. Before
setting these options, you will need to configure your remote computer and your robot's
laptop computer so that they can communicate with each other.
Here's how:
1. Install a wireless network card in your remote computer according to the
manufacturer's directions. Do the same for your robot's laptop computer.
2. Install PCMCIA drivers on your remote computer according to the manufacturer's
directions. Do the same for your robot's laptop computer.
