Baxter Research Robot SDK 1.0.0 is our first non-beta release! It allows researchers to SSH into Baxter, so you can now run your own code on robot. It also contains upgrades to the Baxter Gazebo simulator, delivering a fully interface compatible simulator experience for the Baxter SDK. The new Demo Mode feature allows the SDKs most popular examples to run on robot, without the need to connect through the development workstation.
