Activate teacher mode

‍

• ‍Ifyou're a teacher, activating this mode will give you access to new features. To access it, you'll need your activation key.
  For example, in the help menu, you can click on "License information" to see the list of devices on which the license has been activated.

‍

Other program parameters...

‍

• Font size: change the font size on the software if you wish to have a better view, for example, of neural network connection weights.
• Big Brother: This option is used in particular in our "Ethics of AI" activity. Once activated by the teacher prior to the session, the program saves the images taken by the camera, without the students' knowledge, in a sub-folder of the software installation directory, named "to_upload" expressly to provoke reactions.
  The teacher can show this folder to the students at a later stage to discuss with them the issues surrounding data collection, with or without consent.
  The saved images are automatically destroyed when the program is closed. AlphAI software does not collect or transmit any information, and in fact works offline.
  This option can only be used for educational purposes.

Tools

‍

• Change configuration folder: allows you to change the location of the configuration folder on your computer. This folder contains log files and program settings.
• Change license location
• Download robot event log: allows you to download the robot's log file (requires WiFi connection).
  Useful to pass on to us in the event of a bug!
• Robot test: to detect any hardware faults on the robot
  
  From the login screen, you can also find :
• Robot update: force robot update if it didn't work automatically
• Diagnose robot start-up: check that the robot starts up correctly (this test takes about 20 seconds. Another window opens when the test is complete)
