Alvik’s touch buttons can be programmed to control various actions such as movement, changing modes, and interacting with the environment. This allows for creating intuitive control schemes for different applications. By default, the touch buttons are pre-programmed to control the Alvik's basic movements, such as moving forward, backward, turning left, and turning right. This setup provides an immediate interactive experience, enabling you to get started with minimal setup.

Alvik comes pre-programmed with a line following algorithm that utilizes its built-in line follower sensors. These sensors enable the Alvik to navigate along predefined paths marked by lines on the ground. This feature is particularly beneficial in educational settings and for demonstrating basic robotic navigation. The default configuration allows Alvik to follow a black line on a white surface right out of the box, providing an engaging and interactive learning experience for you.
