Programming the Pepper robot without "Choreography" software?

Usually the developer can use Softbanks own software Choreography to give programs to Pepper robot.

Isn't there a way to setup a different development environment? e.g. Access via SSH and creating Python scripts with a simple text editor and starting the script manually? It means writing and starting Python scripts for Pepper without using Choreography.

You can also use qibuild (pip install qibuild) : https://github.com/aldebaran/qibuild

It contains a qipkg command, just run

qipkg deploy-package path/to/your/file.pml --url USER@IP:/home/nao

A pml file is a project, it is created by Choregraph, or you can use this tool : https://github.com/pepperhacking/robot-jumpstarter

in order to get a sample app.

I've been using Pycharm Pro for 6 months and I am happy with it. You get automatic deployment and remote debugging. The most basic setup must still be done with Choregraphe, but it takes less than one minut.

Of course, using Choregraphe is not an obligation, you can use the different SDKs directly. You can for instance create a python script on your computer, copy it on the robot 

scp path/to/script/myscript.py nao@robotIp

And then ssh onto the robot and launch the script

ssh nao@robotIp
python myscript.py

You can also ssh onto the robot, create a script (using nano for instance) and launch it from there.
