Meccanoid uses active listening. Therefore, when Meccanoid is talking, Meccanoid cannot hear what you are saying.

Meccanoid will beep to let you know when it is ready for a command. Always wait for the beep before giving a command. When talking, try not to speak too fast or too slow. Be firm with your commands and be sure to speak in a clear and steady voice in order for Meccanoid to understand you. 

For more assistance, please review our instructional videos here www.meccano.com/watch?vid=36 

When Meccanoid is in Drone Mode, some voice commands are not available.

Meccanoid comes pre-programmed from the factory to interact in English. If you would like Meccanoid to interact in another language, please change its language first using the Robot Updater Software.
