Connecting to the Furhat Robot-Phisycal

After continuing the Quickstart guide:

Step 1: Powering On and Accessing the Hotspot

1. Open the Hotspot:

   • Press the Hotspot button on the robot to enable its WiFi hotspot.

2. Connect to the Robot's WiFi:

   • On your computer, search for the robot’s WiFi network. The network name should be displayed on the robot's screen.
   • Connect to the robot's WiFi.

Step 2: Accessing the Robot via Web Interface

1. Open Your Web Browser:

   • Once connected to the robot's WiFi, open any web browser.

2. Enter the IP Address:

   • Type the IP address displayed on the robot’s screen into your browser’s search bar (e.g., 192.168.x.x).

3. Enter Password:

   • On the login page, enter the password: "admin" (for localhost or default access).

Step 3: Uploading the Skill File

1. Navigate to the Skills Section:

   • On the left sidebar of the web interface, click on the Skills section.

2. Upload the Skill File:

   • In the Skills section, you can easily upload a new skill.
   • Select the latest .skill file you have (e.g., Parsa_V3.0.skill) from your local directory.
   • You can not run the skill form IDE so convert your code to .skill.

3. Execute the Skill:

   • Once uploaded, you can start the skill directly from the web interface.

Optional Experience: Using LAN Cable for Easier WiFi Setup

My Experience: I recommend first connecting the Furhat robot to the internet using a LAN cable. This way, you can configure the robot’s WiFi settings from the dashboard without the potential issues that can occur when entering symbols in WiFi passwords on the robot.

Step-by-Step for LAN Connection:

1. Connect LAN Cable:

   • Plug a LAN cable directly into the robot and ensure it is connected to the internet.

2. Set Up Hotspot:

   • Now, open the hotspot of the robot as described earlier.

3. Configure WiFi from Dashboard:

   • In the dashboard's network settings, you can connect the robot to your desired WiFi network.
   • Make sure to type in the correct WiFi password and verify all symbols, as WiFi connection on the robot can sometimes be finicky with special characters.

By following this process, you should have a smooth experience connecting the robot to your network and uploading your latest skill file for testing.
