To work with these tutorials you need to be comfortable with ROS and the catkin build system. Please familiarize yourself using the ROS and catkin tutorials. The following link presents a complet guide on how to program the Husky robot.
The following link presents a technical presentation of Husky.
Gazebo is a physical simulation with ROS support but works very well without. Here is the explanation link to control the Husky on Gazebo.
The following link presents a complet guide on how to program Jackal. There you will find a complete Sphinx-based tutorial to help you set up and use your Jackal mobile robot.

The biggest difference is the addition of a Bluetooth module on the Blue-Bot robots. Thanks to the Bluetooth module, young users can program and control their robot with a tablet, a smartphone or the Blue-Bot programming bar!
No, the Bee-Bot robot does not have any Bluetooth chip, so the only way to control it is with the buttons on its back.
The two steps below explain how to test your robot for power problems. 1) Reinitialize the robot: Open the battery compartment by loosening the screw. The screw is triangular and is located on the square plate at the bottom of the robot. Remove the battery and reinsert it to reinitialize your Bee-Bot / Blue-Bot. If that does not help, continue with point 2. 2) Test with a different battery: Insert a working battery to see if the problem is related to the battery or the robot
Check that your Dynamixel servomotor is correctly configured. Do not hesitate to re-flash it with the ROBOTIS Software Roboplus. After re-flash remember to re-configure it. If the issue is not solved, contact us for an advanced support.
The motor is probably not well mounted. Check that you correctly mounted the horns by respecting the mark.
There is probably a mechanical issue with the Dynamixel servomotor. You can directly contact us to get more advance support.

No, but you can program your Ozobot with OzoBlockly, Google's equivalent to Scratch.
Ozobot can go for 90min on single charge. It takes 30-40min to fully chareg Ozobot. Not bad!

Cubelets are scalable: children as young as 8 year-old can play with them! More advanced (and older) users will be able to reprogram each Cubelet with the C language thanks to the Cubelet Flash software (Windows and Mac).
You will just need to follow the manufacturer firmware update instructions on this link. Only for the Cubelets purchased before april 2016.
No, but Cubelets are compatible with Blockly, Google's equivalent to Scratch. However, nothing is impossible in the world of computer science, and if feel like it, you can create a Scratch extension for Cubelets with ScratchX!

Please check that the Bonjour software to recognise http://poppy.local is installed. Just follow this link.
The robot must be connected to the same local network as the computer, using an ethernet cable. If the robot is directly connected to the computer, the network must be shared by the computer. For more information, follow this link.
It can be found in the "Easy and recommended way: use the Poppy Ergo Jr SD-card" section. Just follow this link.

The Turtlebot 3 Burger mobile education base is a lightweight, compact, low-cost and customizable ROS-based mobile robotics platform. It is the perfect solution for anyone looking for a fun way to support their robotics programming workshops, but also for robotics apprentices, designers and developers.
The resources available for Turtlebot3 are very numerous. Here is a link to all ROS installations for TurtleBot3
Starting with ROBOTC 4.0, you can now manage your licenses remotely using the ROBOTC Customer Service portal: ROBOTC Customer Service portal.
Log in to the Customer Service portal using your license ID and password, then navigate to the 'Licenses and Activations' section.
Select the correct license from the list of available licenses tied to your customer account, then select the 'Manage Installations' option. This will bring up a listing of all computers that are currently activated with that license ID and password.
Click the red 'X' button next to each computer you wish to deactivate, this will deactivate the computer remotely and restore the activation back to your license.
This will allow you to reset (release) the activations from any computer that currently has ROBOTC 4.0 activated with your license.
Make sure that Marty has connected to your WiFi. If a “Marty Setup” network is visible, you’ll need to go back and try putting your WiFi details in again.
Some home “WiFi Range Extenders” are really just another WiFi network with a similar name to your main router; You’ll need to have both Marty and the device you’re controlling from on the exact same network.
Your network might use a different set of IP addresses than most, by default. Use our Discovery Tool to try and find your Marty.
When you’re calibrating your Marty, try to make sure it’s standing as shown in the photos (straight up, arms to the side, eyebrows flat) before clicking the “Save Calibration” button.
You have to save the calibration before you try walking. If it still doesn’t walk right, double check it’s put together correctly. In the calibration tool, make sure that the buttons move the appropriate joint - if they don’t, you might have plugged your motors in the wrong places.
Easily done and easily fixed - have a look at the electronics section of the build guide and make sure things are plugged in the correctly numbered port.
Check that the all the leg parts are oriented correctly, look at this diagram in the build guide and make sure your Marty’s legs look exactly like that
Try recalibrating with the feet slightly further towards the middle

It is possible to program the Thymio educational robot from an iPad, thanks to the Thymio Suite Mobile application.
Yes, there is a replacement battery for Thymio. Open the 4 screws on the bottom, open the case and carefully remove the battery from the mainboard.
The battery is fixed with a doubled sided tape on the case. Replace the battery and reassemble the robot in the inverse order.
Check link and if it's not working send back us the robot. Intructions are on this link.

To charge Cozmo, we recommend leaving it on its cradle for 20 to 30 minutes. Depending on the power source (computer or USB adapter plugged in), the duration is more or less long. Officially, Cozmo has a 45min autonomy. During our uses, we found that its battery can easily last 1 hour or more.
Lorsque les voyants situés sur le dos de Cozmo sont verts fixes, cela signifie que Cozmo est complètement chargé.
Les cubes de Cozmo contiennent chacun une pile de format N/E90/LR1 de 1,5 V, qui auront une durée de vie 20h à 40h (selon l’utilisation que vous en faites). Il vous faudra un petit tournevis cruciforme pour ouvrir le cube et changer la pile.

Spot is the best quadruped robot on the market. Presented by Boston Dynamics, it is able to perform many tasks:
- Act in low light conditions, day or night
- Walk up and down stairs or over rough terrain and get up in case of a fall
- Move at a speed of 5.6km/h
- Carry loads of 14kg and operate for 90min without interruption Detects obstacles to avoid them and bypasses them with a user-selected bypass
- Easy to change batteries that recharge in 2 hours
A scalable platform: Boston Dynamics offers many payloads or robotic arms for Spot.
Easy to configure, it allows the addition of additional equipment such as a camera or a robotic arm. The Spot SDK is aimed at all developers looking to test new applications for monitoring, service or exploration.
The Spot robot is the only four-legged robot. This allows it, compared to the mobile bases on wheels, to climb stairs or obscales thanks to its 4 legs.
The Spot robot is a programmable robot. It can therefore have many applications such as the tracking of people, surveillance, support for manipulator arm. The Spot robot is delivered with a remote control. It is therefore piloting from the reception.
Use DCDC input converter to control the voltage of your electronic devices. The most important is the power consumed by the devices. Size correctly to make sure that the DCDC used can provide enough. (Example: 3x AX-12A = 4.5 A, so you need it DC DC with at least 4.5 A) To buy DCDC converter you can contact us.
Lidar is a remote measurement technique based on the analysis of the properties of a light beam returned to its emitter. It allows you to make maps, obstacle detection and localization.
To be able to do obstacle detection the lidar is a safe value. The allows you to identify everything around on a 360 ° radius (Some Lidar are not 360°).
