Robot Buglet by MadLab is a social robotic insect that can locate and move towards another Buglet robot and communicate using sound and light.
The robot exhibits different interactions depending on whether it is male or female.
To make a robot Buglet female, turn the preset (VR1) fully to the left (counter-clockwise), and to make a robot Buglet male turn
it fully to the right (clockwise). Whether a Buglet is male or female is indicated by either a blue or pink flash respectively after the power-on self test.
If two male Buglets directly face each other they will 'rut', that is to say they will hiss and threaten each other, and may decide to
charge. They can hit each other at some speed, hence the need for rubber bungs on their horns.
One Buglet may possibly show submission when charging. The submissive Buglet will glow green, whereas the dominant Buglet
will flash red and blue while beeping in triumph. The submissive Buglet will remember the particular Buglet it has submitted to, and when it next meets the same Buglet
it will show submission again by glowing green.
Two female Buglets will interact with call-and-response chirruping and synchronized colors. A male and female Buglet will also
interact with sound, color and movement.
A Buglet deprived of all communication with others of its robotic species will eventually exhibit aberrant behavior. Buglets are
social creatures and need the companionship of their own kind. One Buglet is
cute, but two or more are very interesting! Available in the U.S. only through ApogeeKits. Robotic Buglet electronic kit assembly and component soldering is required.
