Introduction
James&is&an&autonomously&moving&robot,&that&listens&to&voice-commands&and&responds&or&
acts&accordingly.&It&can&move&to&a&location&or&say&the¤t&weather&report&for&example.&
The&software&for&James&has&been&designed&to&respond&to&the&voice(s)&of&user(s),&to&let&the&
robot&move&to&specified&locations&or&Points-Of-Interests&(POI’s)&and/or&show&information&
on&the&display.&
James&can&also&be&used&to&control&certain&parts&of&a&smart&home&(i.e.&turn&the&lights&on&or&
off,&open&doors,&…).&These&advanced&features&require&customisation&of&the&smart&home&and&
will&therefore¬&be&detailed&in&this&manual.&
James&will&continuously&scan&the&immediate&environment&using&laser-detection&(called&
LIDAR-system).&This&system&is&installed&in&the&base&of&the&robot&and&the&generated&map&
can&be&adjusted&using&the&ZBOS&Control&App&(available&for&Android-&or&iOS-systems)&or&
using&the&online&cloud-control&website&(1),&meaning&the&owner&can&add&areas&where&James&
is¬&allowed&to&enter&or&to&place&James&in&the&correct&position&on&the&map.&
James&can&also&display&the&map&on&the&tablet-screen&by&using&the&SLAM&app,&which&is&
installed&by&default.&This&feature&is&provided&so&the&user&can&follow&the&route&that&James&
will&take&to&a&POI.&
James&will&try&to&position&itself&on&the&loaded&map&when&it&is&booted&up.&By&connecting&
James&to&the&charging&station&whenever&the&robot&is&(re-)started,&the&robot’s&position&will&
be&re-calibrated&to&a&fixed&point,&thus&improving&the&reliability&of&the&mapping&system.&The&
ZBOS&Control&App&is&available&for&Android&and&iOS-systems.&These&tablets&or&smartphones&
are¬&included&in&this&package&and&need&to&be&bought&separately.&For&more&information&
