Hello,
I am trying to connect to a Kinova gen 3 through roboDK using the robot driver.
I can ping it successfully, and have changed the driver file to be apikinova.py, but when I try to connect it fails and I get the following in the log

Starting robot driver: C:/RoboDK/api/robot/apikinova.py

Starting...

Unexpected error: Traceback (most recent call last):

I have tried installing the google package  and that seems to be installed

C:\RoboDK\api\Robot\v310>pip install google

Requirement already satisfied: google in c:\users\bv1069\appdata\local\programs\python\python310\lib\site-packages (3.0.0)

Requirement already satisfied: beautifulsoup4 in c:\users\bv1069\appdata\local\programs\python\python310\lib\site-packages (from google) (4.12.2)

Requirement already satisfied: soupsieve>1.2 in c:\users\bv1069\appdata\local\programs\python\python310\lib\site-packages (from beautifulsoup4->google) (2.5)

I have checked that roboDK is up to date, and tried using it as a free trial and on our work license

any advice would be appreciated
Thank you

We are missing some dependencies to the kortex API in our latest builds.
We will add them shortly.

In the meantime, you can install required dependencies manually. Here's the official list:
