‘Toro-bots
‘Toro-Bots are " spider-like robot lamps" which is a perfect analogy for our spider based
Tobot. The creators of Toro-Bots were inspired by spiders and lamps because of theit looks,
Movements, and joint-like leg structure. In fact the designers of the Toro-Bots "have mounted a
typical Japanese style lamp on the four legs of the Toro-Bots." Toro-Bots were created by the
Japanese for gardening purposes. The creator of Toro- Bots, Alvaro Cassinelli, made them so
that they are independent and have their own personalities. This means that there is very low
maintenance or non at all. All you have to do Is turn thelr switch on and they will complete a
variety of average or intermediate tasks. Toro-Bots are programmed to follow you around when
in darkness so that you will be able to see where you are and where you are going. Toro-Bots
are solar powered and can be controlled collectively or individually. Toro-Bots cost $949.95 or &
568. Toro-Bots are expensive because they are equipped with infrared rangetinders which help
them to sense any obstacle and prevent them from crashing or stepping into things.
Toro-Bots have many purposes and functions, one purpose is taking care of plants.
‘Another purpose Is to light up a garden as decoration. Finally, the last purpose of the Toro-Bot Is
that it follows you so you can see where you are going while in the dark. Toro-Bots have many
functions such as spraying pesticides, walking, and flashing lights. In addition, Toro-Bots can
control garden sprinkler systems which come in handy to keep a garden fresh and growing.
Toro-Bots are unique because they can dance, be controlled collectively or individually, and can
move out of the way to avold crashing into things. Toro-Bots are programmed to "walk behind
you in the garden when i's dark." Toro-Bots can also crawl, track plant and overall development,
and act as a security guard. In conclusion, the Toro-Bot was the perfect comparison to our
robot, COB-E, because of its spider-like legs, mobility, and many useful purposes.cOB-€ ~“
