Other Changes​

Enhancements​

  • The labs have been renamed, removing the numbering to let you organize the labs as you want
  • Changes in the solutions:
    • The leg for the lab_design does not collide with the structure anymore
    • There were some typos in the solutions of the lab_colsedloop
  • There were some typos and descriptions missing in the lab_inversekinematics:
    • Matrices descriptions in the course material
    • Unifies the notation between the python code and course material
    • Detailed explanations in the solution
  • You will now find tips to 3D print the soft parts of Emio in the lab_design
  • Update the instruction for the setup of FreeCAD in the lab_design
  • The numbering of the motors was shifted in some labs

New Features​

  • The camera orientation in the simulation is automatically changed with respect to Emio's configuration: extended or compact
  • While we work on implementing automatic camera calibration, we have exposed the transform parameters in the GUI, allowing manual camera calibration for the lab model.
  • In the sandbox, you can now set up Emio with a custom number of legs
  • You can use the option show_video_feed in the DotTracker to see the camera feed while running the simulation

Bug Fixes​

  • Parameters fix:
    • The mass of the cube in the lab_models was off by a factor of 10
    • The Young's modulus has been changed consequently
    • The artificial rigidity of the FEM volume model is compensated with the tetraYMFactor set in the parameters.py file
  • On Windows, we fixed the issue with paths containing spaces
