05 Mission Instructions
Your mission is to create a robot that starts an interaction when a human approaches. Your robot should be friendly and act as naturally as possible.
6. Test
Now it’s time to test your robot. Run the program and try getting closer to the robot and then further away. Is the robot responding in a comfortable way for you? Does it make you want to get closer or is it startling you and making you want to get further away? Does it notice you early enough for you to respond or do the distances in your program need to be tweaked?
Tweak your robot as needed and then invite your friends and family to give it a try. Remember in robotics, some designers are trying to create robots that invite people to interact with them even when those people are not planning to. Maybe some of your friends or family will enjoy a little surprise before you tell them about your robot design!
