Bi-Mode
Designer: Joel Padilla

Robot’s Description: Bi-Mode is a robot suffering from an identity crisis. Sometimes it is in a good mood, and other times he is just downright vicious – you just never know. Bi-Mode models nature’s predator-prey behavior in today’s synthetic ecosystem. It’s a matter of “survival of the fittest.” There are NO RULES, and there is NO COMPROMISE.
- special thanks
to Blake, for her ideas on my description
Robot’s Functional Summary: Bi-Mode is a robot with 2 modes of operation: prey and predator
As a prey, the robot will run away from a chasing predator while at the same time avoiding obstacles
As a predator, the robot will chase a target with a heat signature (i.e. human)
Current Progress: Currently working on the last sensor the robot will use. I also have preliminary software for the PREY.
