MOVE_POSE

Download Flojoy Studio to try this app

Move the robot to a specified pose in space. Params: x : float The x coordinate of the position to move to y : float The y coordinate of the position to move to z : float The z coordinate of the position to move to alpha : float The alpha coordinate (rotation in radians about the x axis) of the position to move to. beta : float The beta coordinate (rotation in radians about the y axis) of the position to move to. gamma : float The gamma coordinate (rotation in radians about the z axis) of the position to move to. ip_address : The IP address of the robot arm. Returns: out : String The IP address of the robot arm.

In this example, the MOVE_POSE node moves the robot arm to a specified Cartesian position while also considering the orientation of the tool.

The node takes in the x, y, and z coordinates, along with optional alpha, beta, and gamma rotations in radians.

After initiating the movement, the node waits for the robot arm to become idle, indicating that the movement is complete.

The MOVE_POSE node is particularly useful in workflows where both the position and orientation of the robot arm are crucial, such as aligning the arm with an object before picking it up.
