 Python scripting is an easy way to control the robots. Most of the work we did in Winlab was in python. There is no explicit documentation of available python commands. An easy way to figure out which commands are available is to browse the directory /opt/evolution_robotics/python/ersp/. Descriptions from the c++ api apply to the python commands with the same name.
+Most of our python scripts are located in ~/own.
