Continuous sampling of KHR-1 positions
Continuous sampling of KHR-1 positions

I haven't seen any comments on Takashi's previous post regarding the Java API.
In case you missed it, he wrote (using his Java API) a pretty cool application that augments Kondo's Heart2Heart. You can move the KHR-1's limbs about and the program will sample in real-time the servos's positions every given interval. the sampled data can then be used to make the KHR-1 perform a sequence of movements.
KHR-1 owners should check out the video at
http://hyperkhr.sourceforge.net/
Now a question to Takashi :
If someone doesn't want to program the KHR-1 in Java but only to use your application, can it run without having to download and install the 50mb of the latest Java Development system (JDK). ie: can it run simply with the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)?
If so, can you post instructions on how to run the application using only the JRE? (for example, i have c:\Program Files\java\jre1.5.0_06\)

I managed to get it to work after I did the following:
1) installed JDK (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html) - it installed inself into C:\j2sdk1.4.2_11 - during the installation it didnt ask me where to install so i guess it was a hidden parameter or something
2) downloaded Takashi's files from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=156998
(there's a link from the http://hyperkhr.sourceforge.net/index.html page which can be missed out)
3) modified setpath.bat as instructed: set JAVA_HOME=C:\j2sdk1.4.2_11
4) opened a CMD window (actually a visual-studio command prompt because cmd doesn't run for some odd reason on my 64bit dual core w/ XP)
5) compile.bat
5) run.bat

Hi, limor.
I'm sorry that the answer is late.
> If so, can you post instructions on how to run the application using only the JRE? (for example, i have c:\Program Files\java\jre1.5.0_06\)
It is possible to execute it in the following way.
1) installed JRE
2) downloaded Takashi's files from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=156998
3) modified setpath.bat as instructed:
set JAVA_HOME="c:\Program Files\java\jre1.5.0_06\"
4) opened a CMD window
5) run.bat
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I think whether to make optical capture an input to the robot now.
(like https://apollo.dev.java.net/)
What does limor think of it ?
Realistic ?

Hi Takashi,
This Apollo Java project looks very promissing although it doesn't seem to have been updated since July 2005. I found through google some other commercial applications that do the same.
I assume you would like to use the motion capture data and apply it to KHR-1
If you apply to KHR-1 the relative angles of each joint in the human during the captured motion, it may work although humans and KHR-1 have different weight distribution and humans have a real-time feedback corrections that compensates for uneven terrain (KHR-1 can do something similar with a gyro).
but it is worth testing
