Syncing and Updating Robot Skills
Learn how ARC synchronizes robot skills and updates.
Note: An active internet connection is required for ARC to synchronize with Synthiam servers.
What is a Robot Skill?
A Robot Skill is a pre-programmed functionality that you can add to your robot through Synthiam ARC. Skills allow your robot to perform specific tasks, such as controlling servos, recognizing objects, or even playing sounds. For more details, visit the Robot Skills Overview.
How Does ARC Sync Robot Skills?
When ARC starts, it checks if an active internet connection is available. If connected, ARC communicates with Synthiam's servers to:
- Retrieve a list of all available robot skills.
- Check for updates to any installed robot skills.
- Download and apply updates to ensure the latest versions of the skills are installed.
This synchronization ensures that your robot has access to the latest features and improvements.
Steps to Ensure ARC Syncs Properly
- Ensure your computer is connected to the internet.
- Launch ARC.
- Wait for the sync process to complete. This usually takes a few seconds.
- Check the Robot Skills Manager in ARC to confirm the updates.
