This article describes Chico (code-name iCubLisboa01, iCub version 1.2.1), the whole-body humanoid robot of Vislab.

For demo instructions, refer to iCub instructions.

Note: see Chico/Archive about historical information.

TODO: to be completed and updated, in particular the firmware information below is obsolete.

Preliminaries

  • the iCub has a PC104 with a flash disk configured with IP 10.10.1.50
  • it mounts the repositories that are on the icub-laptop machine (10.10.1.53)

Maintenance

Arm fine calibration

Refer to http://wiki.icub.org/wiki/ArmFineCalibration

Basically, with yarpmotorgui set the arm joints to [-90 15 15 90]. Visually compare the arm angles with the reference picture.

Hardware

CAN 0, board 14 is just a spare board that lies in Chico's head (inherited from the design of the previous version of the head), not being used at the moment. It can slow down the CAN communication because the board is present and responding. If needed, we can disconnect it as shown:

How to disconnect board 14.

When a joint/encoder breaks, refer to Chico joint calibration.

Firmware

Keep same Release and Version numbers; only increment Build number. Refer to this page from the official iCub manual, using the following script:
