Claw FAQs

Question 1

Can I customize or sequence complex robotic movements with Claw?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. While Claw provides basic actions, its straightforward MCP tool interface allows developers or AI agents to combine these actions into custom sequences. For example, you can program a series of arm and claw movements to perform specific tasks.

Question 2

How does Claw enable AI client integration?

Accepted Answer

Claw provides a simple MCP tool interface that exposes fundamental actions (e.g., open/close claw, raise/lower arm, move to specific angles). This allows AI clients to easily call these tools and orchestrate complex action sequences programmatically.

Question 3

What is Claw?

Accepted Answer

Claw is an ESP32-based project designed for controlling robotic claw and arm movements. It uses serial commands and an MCP server to provide precise, safe operation, specifically enabling integration with AI clients like Codex or IDE Agents.

Question 4

What hardware is required to use Claw?

Accepted Answer

To use Claw, you will need an ESP32 development board, two servos (one for the claw, one for the arm), a stable independent power supply for the servos, and a USB data cable for serial communication.

Question 5

Does Claw include safety features for robotic operation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Claw incorporates dual-layer safety angle validation implemented in both the ESP32 firmware and the MCP Server. It also supports a 'STOP' command to immediately interrupt any ongoing movements, ensuring enhanced safety and control.
