SDK

Overview

The RBQ SDK is built to provide developers with a flexible and scalable interface for working with the RBQ quadruped robot.

It supports both low-level control and high-level commands, so whether you're building your own controller or integrating the robot into an existing system, there's a suitable entry point.

🔧 Low-Level Access

The LV0 SDK offers direct access to the robot’s sensors and actuators.

It is intended for developers who need precise control and real-time feedback from the hardware.

✅ Key Features:

• Read raw sensor data: IMU, joint encoders, etc.
• Send joint-level commands: position, velocity, torque
• Ideal for:
  • Custom controller development
  • Low-latency real-time experiments
  • Research in locomotion control

🎯 High-Level Command Interface

The LV1 SDK provides a simplified interface to control the robot using predefined actions and commands, without needing to manage low-level details.

✅ Key Features:

• Execute common motions and gait behaviors with a single command
• Seamless integration with the RBQ APP command set
• APIs available in:
  • C/C++
  • Python
  • ROS2
• Ideal for:
  • Application developers
  • System integration
  • Rapid prototyping with minimal setup

📡 Supported Communication Interfaces

The SDK supports multiple communication protocols depending on your use case:

Interface	Description
ROS2 SDK	For robotics developers in the ROS2 ecosystem
DDS SDK	For real-time, distributed communication using DDS
TCP / UDP	Lightweight direct packet communication for custom tools
