If you want to use a a Pepper or Nao robot, always make sure you are connected to the same WiFi network as the robot first. Pepper’s tablet can have a separate WiFi connection from the robot itself. Run qicli call ALTabletService._openSettings on the Pepper to open the tablet’s settings.
To then connect to a Pepper or Nao for use with the SIC framework (see Local Installation), run the ‘robot-installer.jar’ (found in the cbsr-local folder of the docker repo) by either double-clicking on it, launching ‘run-robot-installer.bat’ (Windows) or launching ‘run-robot-installer.sh’ (Linux/Mac). Complete the initial dialog, click Connect on the top-left, and follow the prompts (default Nao password: ‘nao’, default Pepper password: ‘pepper’). You can inspect the log output of the various processes running on the robot using the different tabs. When done, click Disconnect (always do this to prevent lingering processes).
Note: there is a known issue where on Mac the robot installer interface is slightly shifted, hiding parts of the logs. For now please copy-paste the logs to another text editor to be able to see them fully.
