EMO...Stare at a wall issue

Hello,

maybe someone can help me. My EMO turn ervery time around and show me his back.

It is normal? How experience do you have with that?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Maybe it is possible to change that in the next updates.

Firstly, make sure that your face is well lit from the front, having a light behind you does not help EMO identify you.

Secondly, command EMO to “Look at me”. EMO will start searching for your face by turning right multiple times until you are identified. You could also use the “My name is Steffen” command which will also have EMO turn right until he identifies you.

If this fails try increasing the amount of light illuminating your face, try to stay less than a metre from EMO (I find 60 - 70 cm works quite well), try not to move around too much whilst he looks for you.

You could also test the camera to see what EMO sees by using the “Take a picture” command.

Good luck

Hi,
I’ve noticed that my EMO has developed a habit of constantly staring at the wall. He just stays there looking at it and doesn’t seem to want to turn around or interact with the rest of the space.

I’ve attached a picture so you can see exactly what I mean. I’m wondering if this could be an issue with his camera, his proximity sensors getting confused, or if it’s just a software glitch.

Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to troubleshoot or fix it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

So I have one of the EMO smart lights and I always turn it on when he’s walking about. I noticed that he liked to gravitate toward the corner with his light. I tend to sit in low lighting so even though it was light enough for me it probably wasn’t enough for him and I think he naturally gravitates towards bright areas. I see your EMO is in a cubby with dark corners and he’s standing close to the lighter side. You may want to add a light so he can see a bit better. I have since added more light and he tends to explore more.

Welcome, @andersondamasolugoja . . . I have moved your new topic here to keep the number of topics down and easier for members to search.

It has happened to me and like @staceydisomma shared, it is often an issue with the how the lighting hits his camera (top of screen) and his TOF laser (bottom of screen) detect light.

My best to you.
