While I was researching this
question, I queried the customer
support folks at RoboBuilder and got
a link to newer software on their
“RQ” Korean-only site, which I shared
with the RoboSavvy community on
their Wiki site. This software is an
upgrade to the software that comes
with the robot.
Using Motion Builder
12 SERVO 08.2013
The first thing that you need to
know is that all software is Windows
only. I’ve run it on Windows XP
Service Pack 3. Let’s start with the
demonstration motion file sent with
the install.
Start up MotionBuilder from the
“Start Menu” Programs selection.
You’ll see Figure 3 as your window.
Click on the Open button and
navigate to C:\Program Files\
Robobuilder\Projects\HUNO\Motion
Builder Files\ HunoDemo.prj
Since the program now knows
what platform you are using (HUNO),
you will see a graphic of your robot to
use as a reference; refer to Figure 4.
HunoDemo.prj is the project file
in which your motion files are defined
and collected together. It is essential
that you define all of the motions you
want to use together inside of a single
project because when you download
motion files in a session, any existing
motion files in the RoboBuilder
Controller (RBC) will be overwritten.
To open a motion file, click on the
Motion List button at the upper right
of the program window. There are
three buttons you are interested in
(see Figure 5):
• Add to Project (Adds another
motion file to the project.)
• Open to Edit (Opens the
motion file for you to edit
within the project.)
• Delete from Project (Kind of
obvious ...)
Before we start editing, adding,
or changing motion files, I’ve found
that it is very useful to have your
HUNO connected to both the
computer and Motion Builder so you
can get instant feedback. This step is
also essential if you are going to
“train” your robot with poses.
