1. You can use that beta version or return to a previous version where the name doesn't have the word "Beta" in it. It's up to you. What you're looking at is the latest build on their GitHub, and they are calling that one Beta for whatever reason - that's a decision they (Intel) have made for this build; I don't know why.

2. do not install the FW update unless you want to update the firmware. I do not think there is a reason to do so.

3. I don't know what "advanced navigation system" is in your list. However, you will need the T265, and the better navigator is what I suggest

4. I don't know what a Camera Pose is in your question

5. It is a good idea to read the NMS documentation, which also includes a few good videos.

To set up your JD Humanoid with the Intel RealSense T265 for waypoint navigation, here are some considerations and steps to follow:

1. Intel RealSense T265:

   • Ensure that the T265 is properly mounted on your JD Humanoid. The camera should be facing forward and aligned with the robot's center for accurate navigation.
   • You can use the Intel.RealSense.Viewer.beta.exe to check the camera's functionality. However, if you're concerned about using a beta version, you might want to look for a stable release. The beta version should work fine, but it's always good to be cautious with beta software.

2. Firmware Update:

   • You don't necessarily need to update the firmware unless you encounter issues that are addressed in the firmware update notes. The Intel.RealSense.FW.Update.beta.exe is for updating the firmware, and it's not required unless you decide to update.

3. Synthiam ARC and The Better Navigator:

   • The Better Navigator skill in ARC will help you with waypoint navigation. It uses the data from the T265 to navigate through waypoints.
   • Make sure to configure The Better Navigator to use the T265 as the pose sensor. This will help in maintaining accurate positioning and navigation.

4. Single Board Computer (SBC):

   • Ensure your SBC is capable of running Synthiam ARC smoothly. The processing power should be sufficient to handle the data from the T265 and execute navigation commands.

5. Camera Pose Skill:

   • The Camera Pose skill is not necessary for your setup if you're focusing on waypoint navigation without obstacle avoidance. The T265 and The Better Navigator should suffice for your current needs.

6. Navigation Messaging System (NMS):

   • Familiarize yourself with the NMS documentation. It will provide insights into how navigation data is handled and how you can optimize your setup for better performance.

7. Testing and Calibration:

   • Once everything is set up, test the navigation in a controlled environment. Calibrate the T265 and ensure that the waypoints are accurately set in ARC.

Yes you're right. Athena modify/improve always my questions. I made an error  by writing "the better navigation" instead of "the better navigator"  and athena's modified it with "advanced navigation system" Thanks for your answer. l'll give a try as soon as i got the t265

Ah, that's Athena's fault. Okay, so you were asking the correct questionthat means you're on the right track!

What about the camera pose? Is that referring to the t265 as a pose hint for the NMS?

Are you using a lidar with this or just the t265 and NMS?

What about the camera pose? Is that referring to the t265 as a pose hint for the NMS? yes exactly

Are you using a lidar with this or just the t265 and NMS? Start with the t265 only but the plan is to get a lidar c1 later.

update. actually i will use the t265 camera and the rplidar c1.
