Quick Start
To test for range limits, simply pick up the robot and move it closer to the basestation
radio modem or access point. If the robot was out of range, the connection should
resume. If not, check to make sure that radio modems were not inadvertently switched
OFF.
Communications also will fail if the client and/or server is somehow disabled during a
session. For instance, if you inadvertently switch off the robot’s Main Power or press the
RESET button, you must restart the connection. Turning the Main Power switch OFF and
then back ON, or pressing the RESET button puts the robot servers back to their wait state,
ready to accept client connections again. If the ARIA demo or other client application is
still active, simply press esc and restart.
SRIsim
To verify proper installation of the software, you might run the robot simulator, SRISim. It
is in the same directory as the ARIA demonstration program. Start SRIsim first, then the
ARIA demo program. ARIA should successfully connect with the simulator if the software
has been installed correctly.
SRIsim looks like a real robot to the ARIA client, so you can operate the demo as you do
your own ActivMedia robot. SRIsim includes simulated worlds and different robot profiles
which you select from the Files menu, too, so you can see how different robots might
navigate in a real or imagined space.
