Ticos Agent

What is Ticos?

Ticos is an advanced Embodied AI platform for Humanoid Robotics. It provides a comprehensive suite of tools and frameworks for developing, deploying, and managing intelligent systems for humanoid robots. The Ticos Agent is a crucial component of this ecosystem, responsible for managing real-time audio streaming and interaction between robotic systems and the Ticos cloud infrastructure.

Overview

The Ticos Agent is an efficient and secure system designed for real-time audio streaming and interaction in robotic applications, with a focus on humanoid robotics. It serves as the bridge between the physical robot and the Ticos cloud platform, enabling real-time audio communication and AI-driven interactions.

Features

• Real-time audio streaming from robot to cloud
• Real-time audio playback from cloud to robot
• Extensible architecture for custom robot implementations
• Secure WebSocket-based communication
• Configurable audio parameters
• Easy-to-use command-line interface

Installation

To install the Ticos Agent, you can clone the repository and install using Poetry:

git clone https://github.com/tiwater/ticos-agent.git
cd ticos-agent
poetry install

Configuration

The Ticos Agent uses a YAML configuration file. By default, it looks for examples/conf/default.yaml. Here's an example configuration:

# Agent configuration
agent_id: "your_agent_id_here"

# Robot configuration
robot:
  name: desktop_robot
  type: builtin
  module: desktop
  class_name: DesktopRobot
  config:
    # Any parameters specific to the robot can be set here

# Streaming configuration
streaming:
  ws_url: wss://api.ticos.ai/v1/realtime # WebSocket URL for real-time streaming

Usage

To run the Ticos Agent:

poetry run ticos

It will use the default configuration file.

Extending the Ticos Agent

The Ticos Agent supports custom robot implementations. To create a custom robot:

1. Create a Python file in the src/ticos_agent/robots directory.
2. Implement a class that inherits from the Robot abstract base class.

from ticos_agent.core.robot import Robot

class CustomRobot(Robot):
    async def start_audio_stream(self):
        # Implement audio stream initialization

    async def get_audio_chunk(self):
        # Implement audio chunk capture logic

    def add_audio_to_play(self, audio_data: str, item_id: str):
        # Implement audio playback logic

    async def stop(self):
        # Implement cleanup logic

You can look into the src/ticos_agent/robots/desktop/robot.py file for a built-in robot example.
