Mobile Device Setup

  • iOS devices do not require any special setup in order to run the Cozmo SDK on a macOS system.

  • Android devices require installation of Android Debug Bridge (adb) in order to run the Cozmo SDK. This is required for the computer to communicate with the Android mobile device over a USB cable and runs automatically when required.
