Xemo is excited to introduce 3 new robots! The new robots are 4 legged with varying degrees of freedom. Sami, the simplest robot has four 1Dof joints. Buster, has 2Dof joints for each leg, plus a center body hinge joint to turn the body. Fido, looks somewhat like a walking piano bench, has 12 DoF total.
You can shape movements for each of these new robots using the same motion editor and then test them out on the challenge floor. The new robots are easier to balance and get walking. Xemo, the biped, is still there to challenge your motion creating skills.
We've also replaced the Sequencer with a Hotkey motion list. You can assign motions to hot keys and play them back during the challenges interactively.
Included are some minor bug fixes to robot motion and the display of the joint centers. We've also revised the UI to make things simpler to use. The Player's Guide (a PDF) explains some of the changes to the new UI.
Have fun and let us know what you think! You can provide direct feedback to the developers in game (we added a feedback button) or send us email at [email protected]
