USB-C as a connector/interface for other devices (for 'teach-mode', remote control)

[BlueNexus9]

Hi rabbit-team,
Hi community,

mainly the USB-C interface is in use for charging our rabbit r1.

I think it could be a great improvement to have the USB-C interface as a connector for other devices like smartphones, computer etc…

As a connector to a computer you can use the rabbit r1 to process daily tasks or automatism.

By connecting with a computer maybe the possibility is given to create prompts like

‘Write an email in Outlook to xxx to agree the appointment’, etc…

So the chance is given to have an other fast and easy way to create automatism as an alternative to the planned ‘teach-mode’.

Also the possibility is given to control other devices with prompts, the rabbit keyboard, etc…

This is a must!

Nice idea.

Let r1 control your machine

I just had an idea and wanted to ask what others here think about it. I think it would be really cool if you could connect r1 to a computer via USB and r1 could then control this computer somehow. I wouldn’t mind at all if it wasn’t technically possible for r1 to not be able to see the contents of the screen. This function could then still be used for standard actions on the system, such as opening the terminal and executing commands in it or helping the user to find certain settings or, if p…

Ducky via LLM and USB C

I’m going to start this post off by acknowledging that this likely won’t happen, since Rabbit wants to err on the side of caution about allowing the R1 to do anything that’d be malicious / be abused by bad-actors. HOWEVER… The R1 could be updated to allow it to be used as a USB mouse / keyboard. And the LLM can create ducky-script via voice prompt You could ask your R1 to perform a task, it’ll write the ducky script and show it to you (which you could scroll through with the wheel), and then…

Perhaps the USB C could be used for a dock (possibly a power bank made by Rabbit if you are around) for long teaching sessions or to always keep it up on the desk, bypassing the battery problem. The two docks/power banks could be coordinated with the Rabbit in terms of shapes and colours, with in turn USB C or normal sockets. Maybe the rabbit can be put into “awake assistant” mode as soon as it is connected to the support and make it always remain active.
