Hi everyone,

I want to know the possibilities of communication between Python and RoboDK. I'm doing a simulation in RoboDK and i want to move the robotic arm ur5e to a desired target (using Python). I have a python program which generates the position (x, y, z) and export it to a txt file. I want to know if there is an option to create a target from this coordinates in python and import it to RoboDK or just import the coordinates from the txt file to a target in RoboDK.

Thanks in advance,

Regards.

Hi there,

This piece of Python code should help you create your target:

Code:

# Name of the reference frame to be use
帧= RDK。项目(“框架名称”)

# Create new target at [0,0,0] (XYZ) from reference frame
Target = RDK.AddTarget('Target name ' + str(target_number), frame)

# Offset the new target position
Target.setPose(Offset(eye(), pos_X, pos_Y, pos_Z, rot_X, rot_Y, rot_Z))

Remember that you also need the orientation of the target.
Simply using [X,Y,Z] is a point, not a target.

Hope it helps.

Hi Jeremy,

It has worked perfectly! Thank you for your quick response.

Hi all,

the code almost works, but in my case the values for rot_X to rot_Z in the roboDK target differs from the python printed values. does anybody know why this happens?

Hello

Try changing the orientation angle order from the drop down menu, it should be X, Y, Z. Right now you are viewing: Z,Y',X''

Hi,

to show the correct values in RoboDK that might help. However, the target orientation from the imported targets wasnotlike the original orientation (which comes from kuka .dat file) when I just used this function:

Code:

Target.setPose(Offset(eye(), x, y, z, a, b, c))

First I had to convert the XYZABC with KUKA_2_Pose(XYZABC) function:

Code:

Target = RDK.AddTarget('Target ' + str(i), frame)
XYZABC = [x, y, z, a, b, c]
Pose = KUKA_2_Pose(XYZABC)
Target.setPose(Pose)

Now it works perfectly. Thanks for your help :).
