Programmer’s Interface
Introduction
Evolution Robotics’ ER1 Robot Control Center software provides GUI functionality for
controlling your robot. We also provide the APIs described in this chapter so that you can
control your robot directly, instead of using the GUI. With these APIs, and some
programming knowledge, you can:
• Control the robot in response to stimuli which the robot has not been programmed
to know about. An example would be writing a program which moves the robot
under the control of a helmet or data glove.
• Access the digital inputs and outputs and analog inputs of the robot, for use with
custom sensors, or for controlling custom devices.
• Generate a sequence of motions algorithmically. For example, you could program
the robot to travel around the perimeter of a circle, or to “dance”, without entering
each component of the motion as a separate behavior.
