SetupEdit

git clone https://github.com/kscalelabs/teleop.git && cd teleop
conda create -y -n teleop python=3.8 && conda activate teleop
pip install -r requirements.txt

UsageEdit

• Start the server on the robot computer:

python demo_hands_stereo_ik3dof.py

• Start ngrok on the robot computer:

ngrok http 8012

• Open the browser app on the HMD and go to the ngrok URL.

DependenciesEdit

• Vuer is used for visualization
• PyBullet is used for inverse kinematics
• ngrok is used for networking
