💻 Software Intro 💻#
Here’s how you can control the robot and make it intelligent:
🕹️ Basic Control#
Joint (motor angle) control → leader-follower arm control
End effector pose control → VR remote control
Note
For the first version, we focus primarily on the hardware. The LeRobot code remains unmodified. You can recreate Demo 0.1.0 by connecting one arm to the RaspberryPi and the other to the desktop for remote control. The LeRobot code for XLeRobot will be updated soon as our top priority.
🧠 Paths towards General Embodied Machine Intelligence (TODO)#
🔈Advertisment:#
Our lab: Rice RobotPI Lab
Our vision includes using Caging in Time and Funnel-based Manipulation methods to achieve robust object manipulation in imperfect real-world conditions — including perception noise, network lag, and contact rich environments.
Simulation platform (my personal preference): Maniskill
🚀Fast GPU acceleration for parallel simulations
🎨Beautiful photorealistic visuals through ray-tracing
🪶Lightweight, consistent, and user-friendly (compared to Isaac Lab, in my opinion)
🤖Support for multiple robots (including SO100 arm)
