Device Management

Connect View Overview

When you launch Wuji Studio, the Connect View appears as the main interface for managing devices.

Connect View

The Connect View consists of the following areas:

AreaDescription
Left sidebarConnection history
Panel area headerAction buttons (such as Disconnect All), visible after connecting a device
Device listEach device card contains an icon, device information, and action buttons. Connected and Connecting devices are displayed first:
  • Device Name: Auto-generated name (unnamed devices show SN)
  • SN: Device serial number
  • Address: Connection address (IP)
  • Status: Connected / Connecting / Disconnecting / Offline
Bottom action areaEnter Visualization button appears after connecting a device

Discover and Connect Devices

The app automatically scans for Wuji devices on the local network (refreshing every 5 seconds) and displays discovered devices as cards in the device list.

Click the Connect button on a device card to establish a connection. During connection, the app automatically detects left- or right-hand information from the device SN and generates a default name—no manual naming required.

On startup, Wuji Studio automatically restores devices connected in the previous session, with the status bar showing progress while restore is running.

Wuji Studio supports up to 2 simultaneously connected devices. When the limit is reached, attempting to connect another device shows a prompt asking you to disconnect an existing device first.

Disconnect a Device

Disconnect a device in the following ways:

  • Click the Disconnect button on the device card
  • Click the device name in the center of the App bar → select Disconnect from the command palette
  • Click Disconnect All in the Panel area header to disconnect all devices at once

Use the Device Command Palette

Click the device name in the center of the App bar to open the command palette. When multiple devices are connected, a device selection list appears first.

Commands available for connected devices:

CommandDescription
ReconnectDisconnect and reconnect the device
DisconnectDisconnect the current connection
Rename DeviceRename the device
Device InfoView detailed device information:
device name, serial number, firmware version, address, transport type, and connection status

Clicking a disconnected device opens a name input dialog, and the device connects automatically after entering a name.

View Connection History

The left sidebar stores up to 5 recent connection records.

Click Reconnect All to restore connections at once—this button becomes available when previously connected devices are discovered on the current network and are offline.

Delete individual records or clear all history.

Device Naming

Automatic Naming

When connecting a device for the first time, Wuji Studio detects left- or right-hand information from the device serial number and generates a default name automatically:

Detected TypeDefault Name
Left handleft_glove
Right handright_glove
Glove (unknown side)wuji_glove
Other devicewuji_device

Rename a Device

Rename Device

  1. Click the device name in the App bar to open the command palette.
  2. Select Rename Device.
  3. Enter a new name and confirm.

After renaming a connected device, the app automatically disconnects and reconnects with the new name. Topic paths update to reflect the new device name (for example, /left_glove/sensor/tactile becomes /my_device/sensor/tactile).

Naming Rules

Device names follow ROS naming conventions:

  • Must start with a letter (a–z, A–Z)
  • Only letters, digits (0–9), and underscores (_) are allowed
  • Maximum 50 characters
