A small step for your TNY-360, a giant leap towards learning robotics!
In this section, we will explore the teleoperation feature of your TNY-360, and make it walk for the first time using a gamepad or a keyboard.
Once your TNY-360 has been calibrated, it is ready to walk.
Connect to the robot's web interface. If you do not know how to connect to it, follow the Getting Started guide first.
From the web interface, click the Play with my TNY360 button to open the teleoperation page.
Once the teleoperation page is open, the robot will automatically stand up and be ready to walk.
You can control your TNY-360 with a gamepad or with a keyboard.
When using a gamepad, the two joysticks have the following functions:
You can customize the way your TNY-360 walks from the settings menu. Click the cog icon in the top-right corner of the teleoperation page to open it.
The following parameters are available:
The gait type determines the sequence in which the robot moves its feet:
The gait frequency controls how quickly the robot switches between steps. A higher frequency makes the robot switch its feet faster.
The gait ratio controls how long the robot keeps its feet on the ground. A higher ratio means more time on the ground, while a lower ratio means more time in the air.
For some gaits, a ratio below 0.5 can make the robot unstable because its feet stay in the air for too long. At a ratio of 1, no feet are in the air, so the robot cannot move.
You are now ready to experiment with the different gaits and find the walking style that best suits your TNY-360!
