Lock/Unlock; How To Lock Or Unlock Baxter - Rethink Robotics Baxter User Manual

Lock/Unlock

You can lock and unlock Baxter using a password stored on a USB stick.
This feature helps prevent unauthorized personnel from tampering with the tasks stored on the
robot. If the robot is locked, users can only run, reset, clear errors/confusion, or power cycle (acti-
vate/deactivate Sleep) on the robot. When Baxter is locked, tasks cannot be created, modified or
changed.
If the robot is unlocked, users have access to all of the robot's features, tasks, etc.
This feature requires a USB device, formatted FAT32, with a text file with the name, RethinkPass-
word.txt. Baxter will recognize this .txt file only if it resides on the USB device's root directory.
You can create your own text file with this character string or download it directly from the Rethink
Robotics FTP site.
Note: The password file will then be provided by the Rethink Robotics Support team via Rethink's
FTP site.
