Robot Skill Recording Guide

Connection

• If connected via USB cable, use IP: 192.168.42.1
• If connected wirelessly, use IP: 10.33.11.238
• SSH into robot: ssh root@[IP_ADDRESS]

Server Management

Stop server

killall kos

Start server with logging

/usr/local/bin/kos --log --log-level trace

python examples/move_all_joints_a_little.py

https://github.com/kscalelabs/skillet/blob/master/skillet/examples/move_all_joints_a_little.py

Record Skills

Replace [SKILL_NAME] with your chosen name (e.g., wave, dance, etc)

python examples/play_record_example.py record --ip 10.33.11.238 --skill-name [SKILL_NAME]

After recording, the file will be saved as skill_[SKILL_NAME]_[TIMESTAMP].json

Example: skill_wave_20250119_021912.json

Play Back Skills

Use the full filename that was created during recording

python examples/play_record_example.py play --ip 10.33.11.238 --file ./skill_[SKILL_NAME]_[TIMESTAMP].json

https://github.com/kscalelabs/skillit/blob/master/examples/play_record_example.py

Troubleshooting

• If servos lock: unplug servo power
• No response: check robot's power button
• For gRPC errors: restart KOS server
