Camera·
grab a frame, look at a pixel, ask the vision model a question about what TINY sees — tools/reachy_camera.py, 3 tools.
From the module docstring
TINY camera tool — grab a frame from the head camera via the daemon.
| tool | does |
|---|---|
reachy_camera |
Capture a frame from TINY's head camera and save it to disk. |
reachy_look_at |
Make TINY look at pixel (u,v) in its camera frame (visual servoing). |
capture_camera |
Grab a frame from TINY's head camera and return it as an IMAGE block (text personas only). |
reachy_camera·
Capture a frame from TINY's head camera and save it to disk.
Requires the client to hold a media backend (REACHY_MEDIA_BACKEND=local or webrtc). If the daemon owns media in no_media mode, this reconnects a media-capable client for the grab.
| argument | meaning |
|---|---|
save_path |
where to write the JPEG (default: $TINY_CAMERA_SNAPSHOT). timeout: seconds to wait for a valid frame. |
Returns |
status + path to the saved image. |

reachy_look_at·
Make TINY look at pixel (u,v) in its camera frame (visual servoing).
Great for "look at me" / hand-tracking style behaviours. Requires a media-capable backend so the camera intrinsics are known.

capture_camera·
Grab a frame from TINY's head camera and return it as an IMAGE block (text personas only).
For the telegram / thinker / shell personas (Bedrock Claude): the JPEG lands in the conversation so the model can SEE it. NOT for the realtime VOICE persona — OpenAI Realtime rejects image tool results and drops the session; voice must use take_photo() instead. Optional question is echoed for context; save_path defaults to $TINY_CAMERA_SNAPSHOT and is reported so a follow-up telegram send_photo can reuse the same file (no second capture, no image_reader).
