Teachable Machina

Train a neural network with your webcam and control a robot.

On the browser, this project uses an adapted version of Google's Teachable Machine experiment. To control the robot, it uses Machina Bridge, a WebSocket server that receives Machina instructions and sends them to a robot.

Settings

You can configure Teachable Machina using config.js.

Usage

Connect to the robot with Machina Bridge

• Execute Machina-Bridge_v0.1.0/MachinaBridge.exe.
• Choose the make of your robot (e.g., UR).
• Write the local IP of your robot (e.g., 192.168.0.172).
• Click Connect.
• (The Machina Bridge app should be now connected to the robot.)

Install dependencies by running (similar to npm install)

yarn

Build project

yarn build

Start local server by running

yarn run watch

Development

Code Styles

• There’s a pre-commit hook set up that will prevent commits when there are errors
• Run yarn eslint for es6 errors & warnings
• Run yarn stylint for stylus errors & warnings

To run https locally:

https is required to get camera permissions to work when not working with localhost

1. Generate Keys

openssl genrsa -out server.key 2048
openssl req -new -x509 -sha256 -key server.key -out server.cer -days 365 -subj /CN=YOUR_IP

2. Use yarn run watch-https
3. Go to https://YOUR_IP:3000, then accept the insecure privacy notice, and proceed.

Credit

Teachable Machina is based on Teachable Machine. You can learn more about the original experiment and try it yourself on g.co/teachablemachine. The experiment is built using the deeplearn.js library. There is also released a boilerplate version of this project that can be used as a starting point for your own projects: googlecreativelab/teachable-machine-boilerplate

This is not an official Google product, but an experiment that was a collaborative effort by friends from Støj, Use All Five and Creative Lab and PAIR teams at Google.
