+## Default Demo
+
+Use `mpremote` to copy following the files from the examples folder:
+- `main.py`, this file allows you to automatically start the demo
+- `demo.py`, demo launcher
+- `touch_move.py`, programming the robot movements via touch buttons demo
+- `line_follower.py`, black line follower demo
+- `hand_follower.py`, hand following demo, the robot stays always at 10cm from an obstacle placed in front of it.
+
+When the robot is turned on, the demo launcher starts after Alvik boot.
+
+Blue leds on top turn on.
+
+By pressing up and down arrows, it is possible to select different demos identified by different colors (blue, green and red).
+
+Each color allows to run a different demo as following:
+- `red` launches the touch-move demo
+- `green` launches the hand following demo
+- `blue` launches the line follower demo
+
+To run a demo, press the `OK touch button`, after selecting the right demo color.
+
+To run a different demo, turn the robot off and on again or reset the Arduino® Nano ESP32.
+
+### 1. Touch mode example (RED)
+This example starts with the red leds on.
+
+`directional touch buttons` (UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT) program the desired movements.
+
+Everytime a `directional touch button` is pressed, the leds blink in a purple color indicating that the command has been registered.
+- `UP touch button` will register a 10 cm forward movement
+- `DOWN touch button` will register a 10 cm backward movement
+- `RIGHT touch button` will register a 90° clockwise rotation movement
+- `LEFT touch button` will register a 90° counterclockwise rotation movement
+
+To clear the commands queue, press the `CANCEL touch button`.
+The leds will blink in red.
+
+To start the sequence, press the `OK touch button`.
+
+Pressing the `CANCEL touch button` at any time stops the robot and resets the sequence.
+
+<br>
+
+### 2. Hand follower example (GREEN)
+This example starts with the green leds on.
+
+Place an obstacle or your hand in front of the robot.
+
+To start the robot press the `OK touch button`.
+
+The robot will move to keep a 10 centimeters distance from the obstacle/hand.
+
+It is possible to stop the robot at any time by pressing the `CANCEL touch button`.
+
+<br>
+
+### 3. Line Follower example (BLUE)
+This example starts with the blue leds on.
+
+To run this example, a white board and black tape (2cm wide) is required.
+
+Place the robot at the center of the line and press the `OK touch button`.
+
+It is possible to stop the robot at any time by pressing the `CANCEL touch button`.
