Introduction
Welcome to the introductory section on using the Kuka iDo robot for social behaviour acquisition! We'll explore the basics of working with the Kuka iDo robot.
The UT has a total of 5 Kuka iDo robots at the campus and each Kuka iDo has a specific feature. The Kuka iDo robot possesses functionalities that closely resemble those of the actual robot utilized in the Harmony project, thus serving as a good alternative for studying social behavior acquisition. Data can be collected using the Kuka iDo robot equipped with various sensors, cameras, LED lights, a sound system (for our specific Kuka), and LiDAR sensors for SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping).
Previous work by Geert Mol (https://github.com/g-mol/kuka-ido/wiki) and Cliff ten Berge can be used as a guide for studying the Kuka iDo its features and usability. Before continuing this tutorial I recommend reading their work to get a better idea of what the features of the Kuka iDo are and how the Kuka iDo can be recovered if you are not familiar with the Kuka iDo its features and have not use the Kuka iDo robot before.
To learn more about why we would like to use the Kuka iDo robot and what the purpose of our study with the Kuka iDo robot I would like to refer to the (draft) research proposal for our study of social behavior acquisition.
