Based on OpenCat's Python API, we developed a new open source Petoi Desktop App with the following features for Petoi open source quadruped robots:
|
|
Function |
Compatibility |
|
Firmware uploader |
easily upgrade their robots and switch between standard modes with different modules, such as the camera module |
|
|
Joint calibrator |
calibrate joints for stable walking and motion |
|
|
Skill composer |
motion planning, creating impressive robot movements, and sharing |
The Skill Composer features:
- import, export, play, pause, and edit the motion frames pre-defined in the instinct.h files. You can set the speed, delay, and triggering angles for each frame.
- define the looping sequence of frames. For each frame, you can bind, reversely bind multiple joints, mirror the posture, and adjust global body orientation.
- The new skill will be sent to the robot in real-time and saved in its static memory to be called even after the connection is closed. The time for motion-planning and tuning a new skill is reduced from hours to minutes, and it will be much easier to share your skills with other users.
- If you have multiple robots, the UI continues to detect the ports to add or remove robots. You may control them all at once, or send instructions to individual four-legged robots.
