Robot Motion with RRC

This example demonstrates a movement for an ABB robot using COMPAS RRC python API.

To run the example:

Start the robot where RRC driver is installed
Start ROS driver using Docker (see example docker-compose.yml below)
Run the code example

For more details, check the COMPAS RRC Start repository.

import compas_rrc as rrc

if __name__ == '__main__':

    # Create Ros Client
    ros = rrc.RosClient()
    ros.run()

    # Create ABB Client
    abb = rrc.AbbClient(ros, '/rob1')
    print('Connected.')

    # Set tool
    abb.send(rrc.SetTool('tool0'))

    # Set work object
    abb.send(rrc.SetWorkObject('wobj0'))

    # Read current frame position
    frame = abb.send_and_wait(rrc.GetFrame())

    # Print received values
    print(frame)

    # Change the x-value [mm]
    frame.point[0] -= 50

    # Set speed [mm/s]
    speed = 100
    
    # Move robot the new pos
    done = abb.send_and_wait(rrc.MoveToFrame(frame, speed, rrc.Zone.FINE, rrc.Motion.LINEAR))

    # Print feedback 
    print('Feedback = ', done)

    # End of Code
    print('Finished')

    # Close client
    ros.close()
    ros.terminate()
