Follow

Be With Me AKA Follow Mode tells temi to search for a person that is standing next to it, lock on and then follow it's movement. Generally, a user would click on temi's top hard button or verbally ask temi to follow them, however, with the SDK you can trigger this feature programatically. temi also has the option to constraint follow, in this case temi tracks only on its axis using turn and tilt but with no movement.

API Overview

Return	Method	Description
void	beWithMe()	Initiate follow mode
void	constraintBeWith()	Initiate constraint follow mode

Interface	Description
OnBeWithMeStatusChangedListener	Listener for follow mode status
OnConstraintBeWithStatusChangedListener	Listener for constraint follow mode status

Methods

beWithMe()

Use this method to manually invoke the follow mode. Follow mode is the state where temi searches for a person standing in front of it and once found it locks on and follows their movement until told otherwise.

• Parameters

  Parameter	Type	Description
  speedLevel	SpeedLevel	control the follow speed, set null to use system settings, added in 1.135.1 SDK, supported by 135 Launcher

• Prototype

  void beWithMe(SpeedLevel speedLevel);

• Required permissions

  None.

• Support from

  0.10.35

constraintBeWith()

Use this method to manually invoke the constraint follow mode. Constraint Follow mode is the state where temi searches for a person standing in front of it and once found it locks on to their movement until told otherwise. Unlike the regular follow in constraint mode temi only tilts and turns on its' axis it does not leave its' position.

• Prototype

  void constraintBeWith();

• Required permissions

  None.

• Support from

  0.10.35

Interfaces

OnBeWithMeStatusChangedListener

Set your context to implement this listener and add the override method to get the latest status regarding the follow mode. Possible statuses for follow mode are (value in parentheses is the actual string value that will be returned).

Prototype

package com.robotemi.sdk.listeners;

interface OnBeWithMeStatusChangedListener {}

All constants here are only for the status of following.

Constant	Type	Value	Description
ABORT	String	"abort"	When the user or temi aborts the follow action

START	String	"start"	temi temi has found a person and following has began
TRACK	String	"track"	temi is following
