How do I drive the robot for the first time?

After Get Up, Unlock, then use joystick, keyboard, or gamepad at low speed.

Open the robot control view and confirm cameras or 3D view update. On Unitree-class quadrupeds, Get Up (or Stand) then Unlock before velocity commands work. Select a low speed. Drive with the on-screen joystick, keyboard (WASD or arrows), or a gamepad. Test Emergency Stop in a safe place. Motion goes through rosbridge into twist_mux.
