Programming Robots – Making Friends with Cozmo
summary
Cozmo is controlled with the Python SDK and an Android device wired to the laptop, with a VGA camera at ~30 fps, four motors, and three cubes that glow and respond; examples include a scripted drive-square, face-following and stacking routines, a flaky but demonstrable “drive to charger” attempt, and live Twitter integration that sends drive or speak commands. Most demos run from simple Python scripts; some behaviors are charmingly reliable, others require tuning and edge‑case handling.
