Dot Robot

Description

Dot has an infrared “eye” with 12 LED lights that can be programmed as a display. It also responds to sound and can record your voice. Interestingly, it has a couple buttons located on the top of its head that, when pressed, will cause Dot to “talk” to you and even start singing Do-Re-Mi.

Dot, has a number of sensors that let it interact with its environment.

  • It has an accelerometer to help figure out its position and respond when it’s moved, thrown up and down (our kids loved that), shaken, dropped or tilted.
  • It has a recorder for recording sounds
  • It has a microphone for locating and responding to noises, including voices
  • It has built in IR sensors that let it detect and interact with Dash
