How do I install the RoboticsCenter Python SDK?

Run pip install roboticscenter in your terminal. Python 3.10 or higher is required. After installation, run rc connect to auto-detect your hardware and open a browser teleop session.

What hardware does the RoboticsCenter SDK support?

The SDK currently supports the LinkerBot O6 dexterous hand system (USB Serial, 921600 baud) and the VLAI L1 dual-arm mobile robot (ROS2). More devices are added regularly — check the platform dashboard for the latest list.

Can I use the SDK without physical hardware?

Yes. Run rc connect --mock to start a fully simulated session. All SDK features, browser teleop panel, and data recording work identically in mock mode — no robot or USB connection required.

What is the difference between the Academy and the Developer Wiki?

The Robotics Academy (at /learn/robotics-library/) is a curriculum for learners, students, and educators who want to understand robotics concepts. The Developer Wiki is a technical reference for SDK users and hardware customers who need to integrate specific hardware, call Python APIs, or configure data pipelines.

Where do I start if I just purchased a VLAI L1 robot?

Start with the VLAI L1 Wiki guide at /wiki/vlai-l1. It covers tier comparison, SDK setup (pip install roboticscenter followed by rc connect --device l1), ROS2 integration, teleop control, and one-click data pipeline setup.

How do I get support for the LinkerBot O6?

See the LinkerBot O6 guide at /wiki/linker-bot-o6 for troubleshooting (port not found, baud rate issues, calibration drift). For further help, contact SVRC support with the output of rc devices and your SDK version.

What is the breadth of hardware supported in the RoboticsCenter wiki?

The Developer Wiki covers dexterous hands (LinkerBot O6, BrainCo Revo II, Wuji teleoperation glove), arms and manipulators (VLAI L1, TRLC-DK1 bimanual dev kit, OpenArm 101), full humanoids (Booster K1), tactile sensors (Paxini PX-6AX GEN3), and mobile bases (Damiao omnidirectional AGV). All devices integrate with the same pip install roboticscenter SDK and CenterOS.

Does the RoboticsCenter SDK support SocketCAN-based robot arms?

Yes. SocketCAN is the primary bus interface for the TRLC-DK1 bimanual dev kit and the OpenArm 101 collaborative arm. After enabling the CAN interface (ip link set can0 up type can bitrate 1000000), rc connect --device dk1 or rc connect --device openarm auto-discovers joints and streams position and torque data to the platform. Both devices are also LeRobot-compatible for direct dataset recording.
