Hi Community,
I am a college student and doing research about quadrupedal robots recently. My research goal is to understand the walking gait pattern first. I am using Bittle as my research tool. I found there're lots of posts and discussions about the kinematic model. So I wonder if I can get some specific steps in order to get the model. I am new to Python so any help will be great!
I have few questions when I was doing Python installation:
Do you use the original Python app downloaded from the Python website?
How to install the packages such as ikpy, PyBullet, and so on?
Really appreciate your help, I love this community since everyone is willing to help and this platform is so active.😊
Hope to hear from all of you soon,
Harry
Hi Harry,
when you’re on Windows, you can simply download Python from python.org and follow their installation instructions. On Linux you can use your package manager, depending on your distribution.
To install packages you can use “pip“. It‘s the Python package manager that makes installing packages very comfortable. e.g. just enter „pip install ikpy“ to use this library. Make sure that you first look at the beginning of the scripts and check what libraries are imported. For the IK-model you will also need “numpy, matplotlib“ and a few others.
Just let me know, if you have some trouble.
