Cozmo Chat Commands

In addition to the standard chat commands, Cozmo has several specific chat commands available to the owner. You can type these into the chat box on the robot page.

  • .anim NAME this will play the NAME animation.
  • .forward_speed ### this will allow you to adjust how fast Cozmo moves forward / backwards.
  • .turn_speed ### this will adjust how far Cozmo turns left and right.
  • .vol ### This turns Cozmos volume up or down [0...100].
  • .charge X If Cozmo is on the dock, force the changin g state. If Cozmo is off the dock, mark the charging state to start as soon as Cozmo docks [on|off].
  • .stay X Set Cozmo to stay locked in the dock, regardless of charge state [on|off].
  • .annotate Enable / Disable the annotated view, to see what Cozmo is seeing.
  • .color or .colour Enable / Disable colour. Colour reduces the resolution of the video.

Note for audio streaming:

NOTE: These instructions are out of date. The current method involves setting video type to ffmpeg, no_camera to true, audio_input_format to dshow, audio_input_device to the audio device name which can be obtained from the instructions below.

To stream audio you will need to have a microphone or webcam with microphone attached to your computer. First you need to determine the device name for your microphone.

c:\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe -list_devices true -f dshow -i dummy

This will list the available input devices. The device name is contained between "" like so, "Microphone (2- Logitech G533 Gaming Headset)".

Edit send_video.py and locate the line that starts with 'audioCommandLine = ', comment this line out by adding a # to the start of the line. Several lines below that should be another windows version of the audioCommandLine, uncomment it by removing the # at the begining of the line.

On the line you just uncommented, find the part that reads 'TOSHIBA Web Camera - HD' and replace it with the audio device name you found earlier.

Save the changes and execute python send_video.py YOURCAMERAID 0 --no-camera, replace YOURCAMERAID with the camera id for your robot.
