ABSTRACT:
A motorized mobile toy remote controlled by light beams. The remote control projects a spot on the ground, the toy, equipped with optical sensors, follows the spot. The optical sensor delivers instructions on the variation of the position of the spot compared to the center of the image, the processing of an electronic circuit then controls the motors to compensate the variation.
