Teaching & Playback
Load Saved Motions from Internal Memory
Auto Leveling Function
Without complex coding, the Teaching & Playback feature allows users to learn and experience the sophisticated operation principles of the robotic arm easily by performing various missions.
RaccoonBot is not limited to simply moving objects. By integrating with peripheral devices such as a conveyor, it enables the implementation of real factory automation systems and realistically reproduces industrial processes.
In addition, by utilizing the automatic horizontal/vertical maintaining function of the End-Effector, users from beginners to experts can operate it intuitively and engage in creative robotic application learning.

When saving a new motion from the beginning:
In Standby state, press the TEACH button to save a new joint angle.
After saving is completed, RaccoonBot automatically enters Unplugged Mode. -
When appending a new motion to an existing motion saved in internal memory:
In Standby state, press the PLAY button to play the motion saved in internal memory.
After playback is completed, RaccoonBot automatically switches to Unplugged Mode.
When Unplugged Mode operates normally, the Mode LED and Joint LED turn green as shown in the figure below.
The Teaching & Playback function allows users to directly teach RaccoonBot motions (Teaching) and replay the saved motions exactly as recorded (Playback).
Users can use the TEACH button to save the position and posture of each joint step by step,
and then press the PLAY button to replay the saved motions in sequence.
Through this function, robot movements can be easily taught without complex programming,
and repetitive tasks or educational exercises can be performed conveniently.
When the TEACH button is pressed on RaccoonBot, the current posture and state of the robot at that moment are saved.
This saved information is used to accurately reproduce the same motion during Playback.
In addition, the End-Effector and Peripheral Devices can also learn and replay their operation states through the Teaching function.
RaccoonBot can save up to 250 motions, and different functions are performed depending on the input method of the TEACH button.
If the maximum limit (250) is exceeded, a notification sound is generated to indicate that the storage limit has been reached.
When the TEACH button is pressed, the Joint LED blinks purple once and a buzzer sound is generated.
| Input Method | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Click (Click) | Press the button briefly once to save the current angle (position) of each joint. | |
| Double Click (Double Click) | Press the button quickly twice to save the current joint angles, just like a single click, and toggle the gripper On/Off state simultaneously. | Starts from gripper Off |
| Long Click (Long Click) | Press and hold the button to save the current joint angles, just like a single click, and set the waiting time before the robot moves to the next motion according to the duration pressed. The Joint LED and buzzer blink at 1-second intervals to indicate the waiting time. |
⚙️ Note:
The operation state of Peripheral Devices is also saved together in all input methods.
Each button input is counted as one of the maximum 250 savable actions.
Press the PLAY button on RaccoonBot to replay the taught motions.
While the taught motion is being replayed, the Joint LED blinks to indicate operation.
Different functions are performed depending on the input method of the PLAY button.
To stop the motion during playback, press the PLAY button again.
Playback of taught motions always starts from the Home position.
When playback is completed, the robot returns to the HOME position.
| Input Method | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Click (Click) | Press the button briefly once to replay the taught motions. Press the PLAY button again during playback to stop the motion immediately. |
|
| Double Click (Double Click) | Press the button quickly twice to repeat the taught motions continuously. | |
| Long Click (Long Click) | Press and hold the button to save the currently taught motions to the internal memory of RaccoonBot. During saving, the Status LED blinks orange, and a completion sound is generated when saving is finished. |
⚙️ Note:
Only the most recently saved motion is retained in the internal memory of RaccoonBot.
When a new motion is saved, all previously saved data is deleted, so please use with caution when saving.
During operation in Unplugged Mode (Teaching & Playback), if the robot cannot move normally due to an obstacle or external interference, RaccoonBot provides an automatic stop function (Smart Stop).
This function operates only in Unplugged Mode, and in Plugged Mode, the safety stop function is disabled to allow various user controls and experiments.
Therefore, when using Plugged Mode, please use with caution to avoid mechanical collisions or overload.
When the Smart Stop function is activated, the Joint LED blinks red rapidly and a warning sound (Siren) is generated.
RaccoonBot stops all motor operations immediately and switches to a safe state.
If an incorrect motion is saved while teaching RaccoonBot using the TEACH button, the DELETE button can be used to delete saved motions.
Press the DELETE button briefly once to delete the most recently saved motion.
Press and hold the DELETE button to delete all saved motions.
When a motion is deleted, a buzzer sound indicates completion.
| Input Method | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Click (Click) | Press the button briefly once to delete the most recent motion. | |
| Long Click (Long Click) | Press and hold the button to delete all motions. During deletion, the Status LED blinks in rainbow color, and a notification sound indicates completion when finished. |
⚙️ Note:
The DELETE button does not directly delete internal memory.
Internal memory data can only be deleted by saving a new motion.
The motions taught by the user are saved in the internal memory of RaccoonBot.
These motions can be loaded only in Standby state using the following procedure.
-
Turn on the RaccoonBot.
When powered on, it automatically enters Standby state.
(At this time, the Mode LED and Joint LED light up white.) -
Press the PLAY button in Standby state without pressing the TEACH button.
The last taught motions saved in internal memory is automatically replayed.
Double-Click the PLAY button to repeat the motion continuously. -
After Playback is completed, RaccoonBot switches to Unplugged Mode and returns to the HOME position..
After Playback, press the TEACH button to add a new motion,
and the new motion will be saved starting from the last replayed position.
⚙️ Note:
If you want to teach a new motion from the beginning,
skip loading from internal memory and press the TEACH button to enter Unplugged Mode.
The Auto Leveling Function automatically adjusts Joint 4 in Unplugged Mode to help users handle objects more stably.
Users can maintain a balanced robot posture by controlling Joint 4 in vertical or horizontal orientations.
The Auto Leveling Function can only be set when powering on RaccoonBot from a powered-off state.
To switch to a different mode or function, the robot must be turned off and powered on again.
-
Select the desired Auto Leveling Function of RaccoonBot.
When powered on, the Automatic Vertical / Horizontal Leveling Function will be activated according to the selected method. -
Automatic Vertical Maintaining Function
- With the PLAY button pressed, press the POWER button together to turn on the power.
→ The automatic vertical maintaining function is activated.
- With the PLAY button pressed, press the POWER button together to turn on the power.
-
Automatic Horizontal Maintaining Function
- With the DELETE button pressed, press the POWER button together to turn on the power.
→ The automatic horizontal maintaining function is activated.
- With the DELETE button pressed, press the POWER button together to turn on the power.
-
Standby State
When the Auto Leveling Function is activated, the Status LED and Joint LED light up yellow and wait for mode entry, just like the initial power-on standby state.
In this state, you can load motions from internal memory or press the TEACH button to enter Unplugged Mode to activate posture control.
⚙️ Note:
The Auto Leveling Function is an auxiliary feature, and the posture correction response speed is relatively slow.
Use with caution during precise operations.
