Title: PleoRB at the FCC, inside photos
Post by: PleoPet on May 19, 2011, 10:34:50 AM

Pleo bares it all for FCC approval

IMHO: the 'Internal Photos' on the FCC page are the most interesting.

They ARE interesting, thanks.  The first thing that hit me was the new 'cheek' sensors are not on the cheeks  as in their diagram - they're basically running along the top lip!  That should improve my aim!  ;)

Thanks for passing this along!

I enjoyed the internal photos - it was nice to see the inside circuitry and design/placement of the boards and internal components.

(Though I must confess, I followed your humble opinion and ignored the other documents/posts at the FCC site)

Wow, thanks for posting this, I'm glad to see that my aim wasn't off, the description was, just like crewella said, the 'cheek' sensors aren't on the actual cheeks at all!

Very interesting!! I couldn't help posting a comment, why are people always so ridiculously negative whenever commenting on, like.. anything??

Also posted a comment, fancy calling the tech in Pleo a 'dinosaur'.

Thanks for sharing!

You know, I read some of the comments on the site, and god people are rude! I can't believe the sick, and rude things that people said! I respect pleo for it's complexity, design, and because it's a robot I can test my animal skills on.... lol

There really were a lot of nonsense comments on that site but the pics of the pleo were great.  It is good to see just what it looks like on the inside and great to know that the cheek sensors are really lip sensors.  that should help a lot of us here with attention issues. :D
