# Sanad Voice + motion assistant for the Unitree G1 humanoid. Gemini Live handles conversation; the arm controller plays built-in SDK poses and recorded JSONL macros; everything is orchestrated by a FastAPI dashboard. ``` ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Dashboard (FastAPI) ── http://:8000 │ │ ├─ Operations Quick-fire arm actions │ │ ├─ Voice & Audio Live Gemini, Typed Replay, Wake Phrases │ │ ├─ Motion & Replay SDK actions, JSONL replays, teaching mode │ │ ├─ Recognition Camera vision + face gallery (Gemini-side) │ │ ├─ Recordings Skills registry, saved Gemini turns │ │ └─ Settings & Logs System info, tail live log │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ ├─ voice/sanad_voice.py (subprocess — Gemini Live audio loop) ├─ gemini/script.py (Gemini Live brain — audio + video + state) ├─ gemini/client.py (short-session client for Typed Replay) ├─ gemini/subprocess.py (spawns+supervises sanad_voice.py; │ pushes camera frames + motion state │ to the child over its stdin) ├─ vision/camera.py (RealSense/USB capture daemon) ├─ vision/face_gallery.py (data/faces/ CRUD for the primer turn) ├─ motion/arm_controller.py (G1 arm DDS publisher) ├─ voice/audio_io.py (mic + speaker abstraction — 3 profiles) └─ core/brain.py (skill dispatcher, event bus) ``` ### Camera + face recognition data flow ``` CameraDaemon (parent, in-memory JPEG+b64 cache) ├─→ dashboard /api/recognition/frame.jpg ── snapshot_jpeg() └─→ GeminiSubprocess._frame_forwarder ── get_frame_b64() │ "frame:\n" over stdin ArmController ─emit→ event bus ─→ main.py ─→ live_sub.send_state() │ "state:\n" over stdin ▼ gemini/script.py _stdin_watcher thread ├─ frame: → _LATEST_FRAME → _send_frame_loop → │ session.send_realtime_input(video=Blob) └─ state: → _STATE_PENDING → _send_state_loop → session.send_realtime_input(text=…) ``` ## Quick start (on the robot) ```bash conda activate gemini_sdk cd ~/Sanad python3 main.py ``` Then open `http://:8000` in a browser. ## Directory layout | Path | Contents | |---|---| | `main.py` | Entry point — boots all subsystems + dashboard. | | `config.py` | Runtime constants derived from `config/*_config.json`. | | `config/` | Per-subsystem JSON config: `core`, `voice`, `gemini`, `motion`, `dashboard`, `local`. | | `core/` | Brain, skill registry, event bus, config loader, logger. | | `gemini/` | Gemini Live — `client.py` (one-shot), `script.py` (live brain: audio + video + motion-state), `subprocess.py` (supervisor + stdin frame/state push). | | `voice/` | `sanad_voice.py` (subprocess entry), `audio_io.py` (mic/speaker), `audio_manager.py`, `local_tts.py`, `live_voice_loop.py`, `typed_replay.py`, `wake_phrase_manager.py`, `text_utils.py`, `model_script.py` (brain template). | | `vision/` | `camera.py` (RealSense/USB capture daemon, auto-reconnect), `face_gallery.py` (`data/faces/` CRUD), `recognition_state.py` (toggle state file I/O). | | `local/` | Offline pipeline skeleton — Silero VAD, Whisper, Qwen (via Ollama), CosyVoice2.

Master gate + Deferred-trigger toggle. - **Live Gemini Process** — start/stop the voice conversation subprocess, tail its log. - **Typed Replay** — Gemini reads typed text aloud (wrapped with a "repeat verbatim" prompt). - **Gemini API Key** — hot-swap the key without restart. - **Wake Phrase Manager** — add/remove phrase → action bindings. ### Motion & Replay - **Motion Control** — list SDK (built-in) + JSONL (recorded) actions, select + play. Cancel smoothly returns to `arm_home.jsonl`. - **Replay Manager** — upload `.jsonl` files, test-play with speed, Teaching Mode (kinesthetic record). - **Macro Recorder** — Record new audio+motion pair, OR pick any WAV + any motion (SDK or JSONL) and Play them in parallel. ### Recognition Camera vision + Gemini-side face recognition. Both are **off by default**; each is a **hot toggle** — flipping it takes effect on the running Gemini session within ~1 s, no restart. - **Camera Vision** — when on, the `CameraDaemon` captures from a RealSense (preferred) or USB camera and the supervisor streams JPEG frames to Gemini Live so it can answer "what do you see?". Live preview panel. - **Face Recognition** — manage `data/faces/face_{id}/` galleries: enroll from the live camera or upload photos, rename, download (per-photo or ZIP), delete. On a session start (and on any gallery change) the child sends a **primer turn** carrying every enrolled face + a Khaleeji greeting instruction — Gemini itself does the matching in-context, so there's **no local face-recognition model**. Recognition needs vision on. - **Sync Gallery** — force-resend the primer to the live session. The camera daemon auto-reconnects on USB unplug / stalled frames and warns if a RealSense negotiated USB 2.0 (Marcus-ported resilience). ### Recordings Skill Registry (predefined audio+motion skills from `skills.json`) + Saved Records (Gemini turn recordings). ## Architecture notes - **Subprocess isolation**: `voice/sanad_voice.py` runs as a child of `main.py` via `gemini/subprocess.py`. If the voice loop crashes, the dashboard + arm stay up. - **Brain contract**: see `voice/model_script.py` — any new model (OpenAI Realtime, Claude Voice, local offline) implements `__init__(audio_io, recorder, voice, system_prompt)`, `async run()`, `stop()`. Drop a file in `voice/` or a new `/` folder, add a branch to `voice/sanad_voice.py:_build_brain()`. - **Supervisor contract**: each brain ships a sibling supervisor (e.g., `gemini/subprocess.py`) that spawns `sanad_voice.py` with its `SANAD_VOICE_BRAIN` env var and parses the brain's log markers. Template: `voice/model_subprocess.py`. - **Audio routing**: the G1's platform-sound PulseAudio sink is NOT wired to a physical speaker. All dashboard-triggered playback (`play_wav`, typed-replay audio, record playback) routes through DDS `AudioClient.PlayStream` via `audio_manager._play_pcm_via_g1`. The PyAudio path is kept as a desktop/dev fallback only. - **Arm replay**: `motion/arm_controller.py:_replay_file_inner()` is a verbatim port of `G1_Lootah/Manual_Recorder/g1_replay_v4_stable.py:Run()` — ramp-in → settle hold → playback → smooth return → disable SDK. Cancel breaks the play loop; `_return_home()` runs unconditionally afterwards for a jerk-free return. - **Camera frame transport (stdin push)**: the `CameraDaemon` lives in the parent and caches frames in memory. `GeminiSubprocess` runs a `_frame_forwarder` thread that base64-encodes the latest frame and writes `frame:\n` to the child's stdin (~2 fps). The child's `_stdin_watcher` thread decodes into `_LATEST_FRAME`; `_send_frame_loop` relays it to Gemini Live with a staleness guard. This is the Marcus pattern — chosen over a file drop so the parent owns the camera once and the dashboard preview reads the same in-memory cache. - **Motion-state channel**: `arm_controller._execute()` emits `motion.action_started` / `_done` / `_error` on the event bus. `main.py` forwards each to `live_sub.send_state()`, which writes `state:\n` to the child's stdin. The child injects `[STATE-START] wave_hand`, `[STATE-DONE] wave_hand (2.3s)`, etc. into Gemini Live as silent text context (`send_realtime_input(text=…)`) so it can honestly answer "what are you doing?". - **Face recognition is Gemini-side**: no dlib/insightface/onnxruntime. `vision/face_gallery.py` is pure file IO over `data/faces/face_{id}/` (`face_N.jpg|png` samples + optional `meta.json` with a `name`). At session start (and on any gallery change) `gemini/script.py:_send_gallery_primer()` builds one multimodal `send_client_content` turn — every enrolled face's photos + a greeting instruction — and Gemini matches incoming frames against it in-context. ## Camera vision on Jetson The Recognition tab needs `pyrealsense2` to talk to the Intel RealSense. **Do not `pip install pyrealsense2` on JetPack 5** — the PyPI wheel is built against glibc 2.32+ (Ubuntu 22.04) and fails to load on JetPack 5's glibc 2.31 with `ImportError: ... version 'GLIBC_2.32' not found`. The native runtime is already there (`apt`-installed `librealsense2`). Build just the Python binding from source against it, into the `gemini_sdk` env: ```bash rs-enumerate-devices # confirm the D435I shows up at OS level first source ~/miniconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh && conda activate gemini_sdk pip uninstall -y pyrealsense2 # remove the broken wheel if present sudo apt install -y cmake build-essential git python3-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev pkg-config libssl-dev cd /tmp && rm -rf librealsense git clone --depth=1 --branch v2.56.5 https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense.git cd librealsense && mkdir -p build && cd build cmake .. -DBUILD_PYTHON_BINDINGS=ON -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=$(which python3) \ -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF -DBUILD_GRAPHICAL_EXAMPLES=OFF \ -DBUILD_UNIT_TESTS=OFF -DCHECK_FOR_UPDATES=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release make -j$(nproc) pyrealsense2 SITE=$(python3 -c "import sysconfig; print(sysconfig.get_paths()['purelib'])") mkdir -p "$SITE/pyrealsense2" cp wrappers/python/pyrealsense2*.so "$SITE/pyrealsense2/" cp ../wrappers/python/pyrealsense2/__init__.py "$SITE/pyrealsense2/" 2>/dev/null || true python3 -c 'import pyrealsense2 as rs; print([d.get_info(rs.camera_info.name) for d in rs.context().query_devices()])' ``` Match the `--branch` tag to the installed runtime (`dpkg -l | grep librealsense2`). If the build isn't worth it, `CameraDaemon` falls back to `cv2.VideoCapture(0)` automatically — fine for a plain USB webcam, but note a RealSense exposes its *depth* stream at `/dev/video0`, not RGB, so a real USB cam is the cleaner fallback. On x86_64 / Ubuntu 22.04+ desktops, `pip install pyrealsense2` just works. ## Dynamic paths Every path is derived at runtime — no hard-coded `/home/zedx/…` anywhere. Resolution order for `BASE_DIR` in `config.py`: 1. `SANAD_PROJECT_ROOT` env var (if set). 2. `PROJECT_BASE + PROJECT_NAME` from a `.env` file in `Sanad/` or its parent. 3. `Path(__file__).resolve().parent` — auto-detected. The project runs unchanged from either layout: - dev: `/Project/Sanad/` - deployed: `/home/unitree/Sanad/` ## Deployment (workstation → robot) ```bash rsync -av --delete \ --exclude=__pycache__ --exclude=logs --exclude=model --exclude=.git \ /path/to/Sanad/ \ unitree@192.168.123.164:/home/unitree/Sanad/ ``` Then on the robot: `Ctrl+C` the running `main.py` and re-run. ## Troubleshooting | Symptom | Fix | |---|---| | `No LowState received in 2s — refusing to replay` | `main.py` was re-executed as both `__main__` and `Project.Sanad.main`, creating two arm instances. Fix lives in the `sys.modules` alias at `main.py:~50`. Restart. | | `G1ArmActionClient not available — skipping` for SDK actions | Same duplicate-init issue as above. | | `No module named 'Project'` in subprocess | Bootstrap preamble in `voice/sanad_voice.py:~30` synthesises the `Project.Sanad` namespace when run as `__main__`. | | Arm jumps at start of JSONL replay | `SETTLE_HOLD_SEC` (in `config/motion_config.json > arm_controller`) too low — try `0.7` or `1.0`. | | Record playback silent | `audio_mgr.play_wav` only routes to G1 DDS if the Unitree SDK is importable; on desktop it falls back to the PulseAudio sink. | | Live Voice Commands transcript stuck | Deferred trigger was queued but `trigger_enabled` toggle was off. Toggle on — or the pending-trigger poll now fires it automatically once enabled. | | Gemini "no audio" on Typed Replay | Non-deterministic; the retry chain in `voice/typed_replay.py:generate_audio` tries three prompt variants. For reliable TTS, use the offline `local_tts` SpeechT5 path. | | Recognition tab: "Camera could not start (no backend)" | No camera backend acquired. Check `rs-enumerate-devices` (RealSense at OS level) and `python3 -c 'import pyrealsense2'` in the `gemini_sdk` env. The glibc `ImportError` means the pip wheel is incompatible — see "Camera vision on Jetson" above. | | Camera badge stuck on "reconnecting…" | `CameraDaemon` lost the device and is retrying with exponential backoff. Re-seat the USB 3 cable; check `logs/camera.log` for the USB-2.0 warning. | | Gemini doesn't greet an enrolled face | Face Recognition toggle on? Vision on? (Face rec needs frames.) Check `logs/gemini_brain.log` for `face gallery primed: N person(s)`. Hit "Sync Gallery" to force a re-prime. | | Gemini unaware of motion state | The `motion.action_*` → `send_state` chain only runs when Live Gemini is up. Check `logs/gemini_subprocess.log` and `logs/gemini_brain.log` for `STATE injected:` lines. | ## License / attribution Internal project for YS Lootah Technology.
