In this exhilarating sentdex episode, our fearless host delves into the thrilling world of programming the cutting-edge Inspire robot hands, the RH56 DFQ-2 LNR series. With a dash of curiosity and a sprinkle of frustration, our intrepid explorer laments the lack of accessible information beyond flashy demos in the realm of humanoid robotics. Reflecting on missed opportunities with industry giants like Boston Dynamics and Deep Robotics, our host gears up for a new challenge with these intriguing robot hands from Lucky Robots, specialists in robot simulation and training.
Strapping into the programming cockpit, our host grapples with deciphering the technical manual's cryptic specifications, yearning for a guiding light in the form of Python code. Drawing on past experiences with language models like Claude, they recount a daring escapade involving a Raspberry Pi and an underground fence, showcasing the untapped potential of modern technology. As they navigate the complexities of Cursor and its auto-select quirks, our host embarks on a quest to unlock the secrets of action sequences and storing sets of actions within the Inspire hands.
Amidst a whirlwind of Python versions and baud rate conundrums, our host embarks on a series of tests to establish communication with the robot hands, exploring the Modbus protocol as a beacon of hope. Through perseverance and ingenuity, they crack the code, successfully commanding the hands to move and extracting valuable sensor data. With a triumphant glint in their eye, our host sets their sights on creating an interactive control example, poised to conquer new frontiers in the realm of robotic programming.
