Movement

Overview

Movement control or in the case of the SDK manual movement control, is essentially a set of methods used in temi's telepresence that allow the user to manually control temi's movement. These movements are explained in further details below.

Applications

1. To manually move temi using the joystick functionalities use the method skidJoy().
2. To turn by by a specific degree use the method turnBy().
3. To tilt temi's head to a specific angle use the method tiltAngle().
4. To tilt temi's head to by a specific degree use the method tiltBy().
5. To stop all movement use the method stopMovement()

Methods

Below are the details regarding the movement methods you can use from SDK.

◆ Joystick com.robotemi.sdk.Robot.skidJoy ( float  x float  y ) void Use this method to manually navigate temi on its' axis in a similat fashion to the way it's done in the video call Parameters x float value of distance to cover on temi's x axis. The range of values is from 1-(-)1, where 1 is a complete step forward and -1 is complete step backwards on the axis. y float value of distance to cover on temi's y axis. The range of values is from 1-(-)1, where 1 is a complete step forward and -1 is complete step backwards on the axis. Returns void object Exceptions RemoteException Failed to skidJoy() Notes Use the graph below to better understand temi's axis. It's best to use the values 1 and -1 as since values in between will not be noticeable to the untrained eye. It's recommended to give a buffer of at least 500 milliseconds between each command for the best outcome. Backwards speed is lower than forward's since there are less sensors and we want to reduce the risk of damage. Examples Forward - robot.skidJoy(1,0) for how long as you want it to move forward Left - robot.skidJoy(0,1) until the robot is facing the direction you want it to move to and then send the

◆ Turn By com.robotemi.sdk.Robot.turnBy ( int  degrees ) void Use this method to manually turn temi's body by a certain degree. Parameters degrees int value of the degrees you want to temi's body to turn. Returns void object Exceptions RemoteException Failed to start turnBy() Notes To turn left use positive degrees, to turn right use negative degrees

---

◆ Tilt Angle com.robotemi.sdk.Robot.tiltAngle ( int  degrees ) void Use this method to manually tilt temi's head to a certain degree. Parameters degrees int value of the degrees you want to temi's head to tilt to. Returns void object Exceptions RemoteException Failed to start tiltAngle() Notes Take into account that the tilt range is from -25 degrees which means temi is looking all the way down until +55 degrees which means it's looking all the way up. 0 degrees means temi is looking straight ahead

---

◆ Tilt By com.robotemi.sdk.Robot.tiltBy ( int  degrees ) void Use this method to manually tilt temi's head by a certain degree. Parameters degrees int value of the amount of degrees you want to tilt by. Returns void object Exceptions RemoteException Failed to start tiltBy() Notes Take into account that the tilt range is from -25 degrees which means temi is looking all the way down until +55 degrees which means it's looking all the way up. 0 degrees means temi is looking straight ahead It's recommended to use this method to make small tilt adjustments and not big ones, if you want temi to make bigger adjustments use tiltAngle() instead.

---

◆ Stop Movement com.robotemi.sdk.Robot.stopMovement ( ) void Use this method to manually stop temi from moving. Returns void object Exceptions RemoteException Failed to start stopMovement() Notes Use this method to abort any of the actions taken by the methods above. Use this method to stop go to navigation commands as well.

Listeners

Below are the details regarding how to listen for movement changes.

◆ Add Go To Location Listener com.robotemi.sdk.Robot.addOnGoToLocationStatusChangedListener ( OnGoToLocationStatusChangedListener  listener ) void Use this method to listen for go to navigation status changes, while temi is navigating to a specific location Parameters listener A listener object of type OnGoToLocationStatusChangedListener that contains a void method onGoToLocationStatusChanged(String location, String status, int descriptionId, String description) which contains information regarding temi's navigation to a location Returns void object. Notes See OnGoToLocationStatusChangedListener for more information on the different navigation statuses

---

◆ Remove Go To Location Listener com.robotemi.sdk.Robot.removeOnGoToLocationStatusChangedListener ( OnGoToLocationStatusChangedListener  listener ) void Use this method to remove a specific listener for go to navigation changes Parameters listener The OnGoToLocationStatusChangedListener that you wish to remove from the list of go to listeners registered Returns void object.
