- class viam.components.arm.Arm(name: str)[source]
Arm represents a physical robot arm that exists in three-dimensional space.
This acts as an abstract base class for any drivers representing specific arm implementations. This cannot be used on its own. If the
__init__()
function is overridden, it must call thesuper().__init__()
function.- SUBTYPE :Final
- abstract async get_end_position(*, extra: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, timeout: Optional[float] = None, **kwargs) viam.proto.common.Pose [source]
Get the current position of the end of the arm expressed as a Pose.
Returns: The location and orientation of the arm described as a Pose.
- abstract async move_to_position(pose: viam.proto.common.Pose, world_state: Optional[viam.proto.common.WorldState] = None, *, extra: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, timeout: Optional[float] = None, **kwargs)[source]
Move the end of the arm to the Pose specified in
pose
. When obstacles are specified inworld_state
, the motion plan of the arm will avoid them.- Parameters
pose (Pose) – The destination Pose for the arm.
world_state (WorldState) – The obstacles for the arm to avoid on its way to
pose
.
- abstract async move_to_joint_positions(positions: viam.proto.component.arm.JointPositions, *, extra: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, timeout: Optional[float] = None, **kwargs)[source]
Move each joint on the arm to the corresponding angle specified in
positions
.- Parameters
positions (JointPositions) – The destination
JointPositions
for the arm.
- abstract async get_joint_positions(*, extra: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, timeout: Optional[float] = None, **kwargs) viam.proto.component.arm.JointPositions [source]
Get the JointPositions representing the current position of the arm.
- Returns
The current JointPositions for the arm.
- Return type
- class viam.components.arm.JointPositions(*, values: collections.abc.Iterable[builtins.float] | None = ...)
Abstract base class for protocol messages.
Protocol message classes are almost always generated by the protocol compiler. These generated types subclass Message and implement the methods shown below.
- property values: google.protobuf.internal.containers.RepeatedScalarFieldContainer[float]
A list of joint positions. Rotations values are in degrees, translational values in mm. The numbers are ordered spatially from the base toward the end effector This is used in GetJointPositionsResponse and MoveToJointPositionsRequest
- class viam.components.arm.Pose(*, x: float = ..., y: float = ..., z: float = ..., o_x: float = ..., o_y: float = ..., o_z: float = ..., theta: float = ...)
Pose is a combination of location and orientation. Location is expressed as distance which is represented by x , y, z coordinates. Orientation is expressed as an orientation vector which is represented by o_x, o_y, o_z and theta. The o_x, o_y, o_z coordinates represent the point on the cartesian unit sphere that the end of the arm is pointing to (with the origin as reference). That unit vector forms an axis around which theta rotates. This means that incrementing / decrementing theta will perform an inline rotation of the end effector. Theta is defined as rotation between two planes: the first being defined by the origin, the point (0,0,1), and the rx, ry, rz point, and the second being defined by the origin, the rx, ry, rz point and the local Z axis. Therefore, if theta is kept at zero as the north/south pole is circled, the Roll will correct itself to remain in-line.
- x :float
millimeters from the origin
- y :float
millimeters from the origin
- z :float
millimeters from the origin
- o_x :float
z component of a vector defining axis of rotation
- o_y :float
x component of a vector defining axis of rotation
- o_z :float
y component of a vector defining axis of rotation
- theta :float
degrees
- class viam.components.arm.WorldState(*, obstacles: collections.abc.Iterable[global___GeometriesInFrame] | None = ..., interaction_spaces: collections.abc.Iterable[global___GeometriesInFrame] | None = ..., transforms: collections.abc.Iterable[global___Transform] | None = ...)
WorldState contains information about the physical environment around a given robot. All of the fields within this message are optional, they can include information about the physical dimensions of an obstacle, the freespace of a robot, and any desired transforms between a given reference frame and a new target reference frame.
- property obstacles: google.protobuf.internal.containers.RepeatedCompositeFieldContainer[global___GeometriesInFrame]
a list of obstacles expressed as a geometry and the reference frame in which it was observed; this field is optional
- property interaction_spaces: google.protobuf.internal.containers.RepeatedCompositeFieldContainer[global___GeometriesInFrame]
a list of spaces the robot is allowed to operate within expressed as a geometry and the reference frame it is measured from; this field is optional
- property transforms: google.protobuf.internal.containers.RepeatedCompositeFieldContainer[global___Transform]
a list of Transforms, optionally with geometries. Used as supplemental transforms to transform a pose from one reference frame to another, or to attach moving geometries to the frame system. This field is optional
