The following conventions are used: WLAN stands for "wireless local area network"; Control Panel is the Aibo ERS-series control window integrated into Webots. RCServer stands for "remote control server", this is the on-board software running on Aibo which is used in conjunction with the Control Panel to remotely control your Aibo. Memory stick is your Aibo Programming Memory Stick supplied with the robot. Finally, ersXXX always refers to your Aibo ERS-XXX model.

The following relevant resources are located under the Webots installation directory, in the projects / robots / aibo subfolder:

  • controllers/: sample controller source directories for the Aibo ERS-series robots (see also section 10.6);

  • data/mtn/: MTN motion sequence data files for the Aibo ERS-XXX model (see also subsection 10.5.3);

  • webots / transfer / openr: transfer-related data (software to copy to the Memory stick, Aibo definition includes for your controllers, etc.);

  • worlds/: world definition files containing at least one Aibo robot (see also section 10.3);

Note: You should copy the relevant files to the corresponding paths in your own project directory for ease of use. Typically, you will want to copy the Aibo worlds and controller files, as well as the MTN motion sequence data files.
