GyroPalm Python SDK for Robotic Control using Gestures

GyroPalm Python SDK

Python SDK for GyroPalm Developers

Overview

The GyroPalm Python software development kit (SDK) enables developers to wirelessly connect to one or more GyroPalm Encore wearables without any additional dependencies. This Python package contains two independent classes, GyroPalmRealtime and GyroPalmDriving, which include methods to enable developers in establishing bi-directional communication with GyroPalm devices for creating unlimited hands-free Python interactions, especially for remotely controlling and monitoring robots. This repository also contains examples that demonstrate typical use.

This library exposes the GyroPalmRealtime object, which encapsulates secure websockets (WSS) with our real-time low latency server. Using enhanced methods and function callbacks, gestures, commands, and other data can be retrieved from the wearable in milliseconds. Using the GyroPalmRealtime object, developers can write applications that can control ROS-based robots. Furthermore, the GyroPalmDriving library provides methods for smooth acceleration/deceleration easing, emergency-stop on signal loss, center-snapping, and constrain/normalization of command velocity values.

Although the GyroPalmRealtime library can be used independently, the GyroPalmDriving library is essential in enhancing safety in robotic operation as well as enhancing both the end-user and developer experience.

Requirements

To implement this SDK for its intended use, it is highly recommended that the developer has a GyroPalm Developer Kit or equivalent GyroPalm package to do proper testing. To order one or more wearables, visit the GyroPalm Online store.

In addition, the host machine must have Python 3.6 or newer, and the websockets library installed. The host machine needs to have an internet connection so that it can connect to the GyroPalmRealtime server.
