public class AiboBatterySensor
extends ArraySensor<Float>

Structure to store the power sensors on the Aibo. The Aibo's power sensors report the following values:

• Percent battery charge (0% drained, 100% fully charged)
• Temperature in Celsius
• Power output of the battery (mA Hours)
• Voltage of the battery (V)
• Electrical current output of the battery (mA)
