Color Camera
SKIN-TONE
• Robosapien™V2 can identify skin-tones if you hold your palm in
front of his face after a flinch.
• After identification he will track the movement of the largest
skin-tone object in front of him.
• If you move your hand around for a while he will assume you are
waving at him and he will wave back.
• If you keep doing this he will eventually get bored and give up.
• If you hold your hand still, he will assume you want to shake
hands and respond.

COLOR CAMERA NOTES:
• When Robosapien™V2 tracks colored objects he will respond to
the largest object of the correct color. If you are in front of a
colorful background, this can interfere with his color tracking.
• If the light levels are too low Robosapien™V2 will turn off his
camera after a flinch and tell you that there is not enough light.
• Strong sunlight and highly reflective surfaces can interfere with
his color identification.
• Robosapien™V2’s color camera may have difficulty identifying
color when his brain batteries are low. This may become evident
before he gives you a low power warning.
