Run an Example!
Run any example from telekinesis-examples repository
Clone the repository and the telekinesis-data submodule
bash
git clone --depth 1 --recurse-submodules --shallow-submodules \
https://github.com/telekinesis-ai/telekinesis-examples.git
cd telekinesis-examplesWhat gets downloaded?
The flags above keep the clone small:
--depth 1fetches only the latest commit, not full history.--recurse-submodules --shallow-submodulesalso pulls thetelekinesis-datasubmodule (sample images, point clouds, robot states), again atdepth 1. Roughly 1.5 GB of free disk space is required for the telekinesis-data.
When you start using Telekinesis on your own data, you can ignore the telekinesis-data submodule - it exists purely to make the examples runnable out of the box.
Install dependencies for examples
bash
conda activate telekinesis
pip install rerun-sdk==0.31.2 pycocotools scipyRun an example
Runs segment_image_using_sam and visualizes masks in Rerun.
bash
python examples/cornea_examples.py --example segment_image_using_sam
SAM masks predicted from the sample input image.
