Overview

What is Pepper

It is a robot released by Softbank and can be developed for free for now. ~~ (Evaluation version IDE is free for 90 days) ~~ ⇨ After registering as a developer, the license key was sent to me by email. As a software development engineer, I don't know how to develop a business, but It looks interesting for the time being. How to utilize it?

so

I'm still in the official application stage, but I bought Pepper at the company, so I'd like to take some time to play with it. That said, I have no idea what it is like, so I will investigate the development method and summarize it. By the way, I applied for the sale in July and received a formal application confirmation on August 25th.

There are still few Pepper tag followers in Qiita ... (345 as of August 26, 2015) http://qiita.com/tags/pepper

Community holding

I want to do it. I live in Kagoshima and I'm in trouble because I don't have any study sessions, so if there are any other people like that. Would you like to share information with people who are interested in Pepper development or who have similar development experience? I'm currently working in Kagoshima prefecture, so if you live in Kagoshima, why don't you have a study session? Contact information is available on the top page of GitHub, so please contact us if you are interested. https://github.com/tdaiku

Target

・ Understand Pepper's development method ・ Try developing with Choregraphe, Python, C ++ ・ Create a system that can be operated on an actual machine ・ Apply for Pepper App Challenge 2015 Winter

Choregraphe seems to be able to develop using GUI. It seems that SDKs are also provided in Python, C ++, etc., but it seems that SDKs other than Choregraphe cannot be downloaded without linking the actual machine and the account. We will verify it after the actual machine arrives. ⇨ If you think about it, maybe after registering as Developer for about an hour, the list has been updated.

Try to register on the site of Pepper developer ALDE BARAN https://community.aldebaran.com/ja

I tried to display the first name on the dashboard and it was garbled, so it may be better to use English as the name.

Download the file that suits your environment

The license key seems to be sent before and after the actual machine is shipped. ~~ For the time being, I installed it as an evaluation version. ~~ ⇨ I entered the license key that I received after registering as a developer. The license is compatible with only one PC, and we will also verify what to do when developing with multiple people. ⇨ It can be used on multiple PCs, but it cannot be used at the same time. There is no problem if all the developers register as Developer of Aldebaran.

Also, in my environment, the language was English at startup. If you change Language to Japanese from Choregraphe's Preferences and restart, it will be in Japanese. Well, it's not a big amount of English, so I think it's better to leave it as it is ... The menu structure seems to change a little.

When installing on Windows, an error occurred in the virtual robot settings. I thought it was wrong that there was a space in the installation path, so I reinstalled it, but it didn't improve ... It seems that an error occurs because the user name is in Japanese. I set it myself, but the user name is not Japanese, isn't it? I should install it as another user, but I gave up because it was troublesome.

Learning

instruction manual

Check because you can browse the instruction manual that seems to be attached at the time of purchase You basically don't see it, right? Right? I don't see it either! If you call it a manual, you will discover new features. Aldebaran materials * I think it will be accessible after user registration. I saw the sensor range per 90 pages for the first time. I like the font. The layout is also an easy-to-read manual. I would like to refer to it when I make a manual next time.

NAOqi (Pepper OS) document Japanese abstract translation

About 350 pages of material. It's explained in great detail, so it may be good when you want to work hard. Or look up the part you don't understand. Documentation of Aldebaran Pepper 2.3.1 * User registration I think it will be accessible later

It's very easy to understand and I think it's easier to get information than reading the documentation. Recommended! http://qiita.com/Atelier-Akihabara
