"Geist Strahlung", (Ghost Radiation) made its debut at this month's Center for Paranormal Research and Investigation meeting. The group gave input and suggestions for possible applications.The robot is currently in remote "manual control" mode. This summer I will integrate the Parallax Microcomputer.
In a "typical" autonomous mode, the robot will rotate the
turret "sensor array" side to side, (in a pre-adjusted arc of 0 to 270 degrees), until an "input" is detected, then the tracked base will rotate and line up with the turret, the robot will then move in the direction of the sensor input.The initial sensor to be integrated will be the Passive Infra Red Sensor, a subroutine will be written fo
r each sensor, to allow buffering and noise/error reduction. 
Sensor/Tripod removal is easy, allowing the vehicle to be a radio controlled remote camera platform, etc.
The Smoke Generator can be used to test air flow, or perhaps project a "ghostly" image on.
The "value" of this robot for the Paranormal Investigation has not yet been determined, but easy programming and sensor changes make this robot easily adaptable.
