• Each robot has its own installation process, depending on its operating system and device specific constraints. For example, the Alphamini requires SSH to first be installed before SIC can be installed.

• Test environments for development purposes are also set up differently per robot for the same reason.

• Each device consists of different components and controls. Components run directly on the robot and be controlled through Connectors. Other functionality is implemented within the device class itself via an SDK (for example with the Alphamini’s Mini SDK).

• Devices may be a hybrid of Component/Connector control and SDK control. See the device-specific documentation in Devices for details.
