A robotic creature system includes an actuatable head defining eyes, an eyelid mechanism, a body, a drivetrain, and a set of sensors. A method for robotic creature operation includes: detecting an event associated with a technological imperfection and automatically performing a set of expressive actions associated with the event.
Claims15
A method for responding to a technological imperfection associated with a task of a robot, comprising:
- receiving a command to perform a first action;
- sampling sensor signals associated with the first action from a sensor;
- attempting performance of the first action based on the sensor signals;
- in response to failure to perform the first action:
- performing a data-acquiring action associated with the failure, comprising sampling auxiliary signals with an on-board sensor;
- performing an expressive action, associated with the failure, according to instructions determined based on a technical requirement of the data-acquiring action;
- and
- performing the first action, wherein the first action is performed based on the auxiliary signals.
