Sound sensor - reacts to sounds and scans for nearest object when disturbed (when stationary)
Autonomous mode - Interacts with his environment as he moves through it, scanning and avoiding obstacles
Deep IR scanner vision system Multiple scanning ranges. Used to assess distances and obstacles and influence behavior 5 scanning sequences
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.
