Movement Execution

The primary control for executing robot motion. Use single click for incremental steps or the submenu for full automation. Double click on the play will perform the full automation as well.

fast_forward Play full
Executes all movements in the current array.
arrow_back_2 Play back
Steps backward through your position history.

Posture Queue [0/0]

Manage the sequence of movements for the robot arm. The counter displays your active position versus total positions.

add_circle Add position
Inserts position relative to current index.
add_box Add as last position
Appends position to the end of the array.
cancel Remove position
Deletes the current posture from the queue.

Pick and Place Logic

Operational Flow

To interact with objects in the scene, follow this logic strictly:

  • 1. Create a standard position as a "safe start".
  • 2. Move arm to the object using Gizmos or IK.
  • 3. Use Add Position, then select your interaction:
carry_on_bag_checked Pick object
carry_on_bag_inactive Drop object
restore Restore object
Returns object to original imported position.

Interactive Controls

Direct Kinematics: Click and drag joints with the mouse.

Inverse Kinematics (IK): Hold SHIFT while dragging to solve for position.

Object Movement: Click any .stl to reveal the 3D Gizmo for relocation.

Kinematics & Coordinates

Joint Control

Set specific angles for each robot joint within its physical range. The system uses inverse kinematics calculations to position the arm.

Resets the arm to its initial '0' state.

XYZ Coordinates

Work in world coordinates relative to robot reach. Click any imported .stl object to use the from object option via the appearing gizmo.
