Studio.reset() does not remove all obstacles - Repost

πŸ›  Done

It's a past bug that had been fixed byut appeared again, so I'm posting a new bug report.

Using Studio Live, the method studio.reset() does not remove all obstacles from the scene.

Joint limits in Studio

πŸ›  Done

The joint limits of the robots seem to be incorrect in the Studio > Control > Joint Position panel.

It is sometimes possible to manually input / use the slider to define a value outside of the actual robot's joint limits (for instance: -2.9671 for the Panda's joint1 when the lower limit is supposed to be -2.8973) and sometimes impossible to input a value that should be in range because the slider's limit is too restrictive (for instance: UR5's joint6 blocked at -3.141593 when the actual limit is -6.2832).

Max joint position exceeded with panda robot

πŸ›  Done

I tested planning for a Panda joint configuration that exceeds a joint limit (panda_joint2 going to 100 when its max position is supposed to be 1.7628).
The planner returned a trajectory that indeed reaches this out-of-bound value (see attached image).

Is there any newsletter / feed to to get notified as soon as a new version of Jacobi Motion is released?
If not, what about creating one?

Studio.reset() does not remove all obstacles

πŸ›  Done

Using Studio Live, the method studio.reset() does not remove all obstacles from the scene. One object seems to always stay in, although not necessarily the same one.
After adding objects once again, studio.reset() now leaves two objects in the scene. In my experience, I never got more than two objects staying though, even after repeating the operations multiple times.

Error in quaternion?

πŸ›  Done

Hi,

Unless I'm doing something wrong, it seems there's an error in the Euler angles returned by a jacobi.Frame created from a quaternion.
Here is a minimal code to reproduce the error where the Euler angles are compared with the ones computed by scipy (scipy also agrees with the results of our own internal library):

import numpy as np
from scipy.spatial.transform import Rotation
import jacobi
for k in range(10):
    q_xyzw = np.array([2 * np.random.rand() - 1, 2 * np.random.rand() - 1, 2 * np.random.rand() - 1, 2 * np.random.rand() - 1])
    q_xyzw = q_xyzw / np.linalg.norm(q_xyzw)
    print("")
    print("jacobi euler: ", *[f"{e:+2.5f}" for e in jacobi.Frame.from_quaternion(0, 0, 0, q_xyzw[3], q_xyzw[0], q_xyzw[1], q_xyzw[2]).euler[3:]])
    print(" scipy euler: ", *[f"{e:+2.5f}" for e in Rotation.from_quat(q_xyzw).as_euler("xyz")])

No jacobi-get-license executable

πŸ›  Done

Hi,

I'm trying to install the on-premise version of Jacobi today. I followed the instructions from here and could install the wheel without any issue. However, I don't have any jacobi-get-license executable on my machine, and I didn't find where I'm supposed to get it.

Could you tell me where to find it please?
Thanks

pip install failing

πŸ›  Done

The command pip install jacobi-motion currently fails with the following error message:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement jacobi-motion (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for jacobi-motion

Manually specifying a version (ex: 0.0.21) raises to the same error.

ABB driver python version

πŸ›  Done

There is no information about minimal version of python required for abb driver. According to pypi page it is 3.9 (https://pypi.org/project/jacobi-abb-driver/0.0.9/#files) which is not consistent to the motion library where documentation stated that there is python needed in version 3.7 or above.

Driver documentation bug

πŸ›  Done

Documentation of the driver (https://docs.jacobirobotics.com/api/py.html#Driver) states that there are 3 methods for Driver class : is_running(), get_current_joint_position(), get_current_state() . Actually none of those exists and there are attributes is_running, current_joint_position, current_state.

Hello,
The Franka Panda always stays fixed in Studio. The robot does not track the TCP target (see attachment), not does it move when visualizing a motion that was successfully calculated.

Can't plan using a list of waypoints

πŸ›  Done

I've upgrade jacobi-motion to the latest version=0.0.17 and am using python 3.8.10

I can use the planner to plan from a start to goal waypoint, but the following code fails on line trajectory = planner.plan(waypoints)

planner = Planner('xxx', delta_time=0.01)  # [s]
planner.set_authentication(
    'xxx', 'xxx')

trajectory = planner.plan(
    start=[0, 0, 0, 0, 0.32, 0.0, -0.68, 0.0, -1.57, 0.97, 1.57],
    goal=[0, 0, 0, 0, 0.32, 2.0, -0.68, 0.0, -1.57, 0.97, 1.57])  # this passes

waypoints = [[0, 0, 0, 0, 0.32, 0.0, -0.68, 0.0, -1.57, 0.97, 1.57],
                [0, 0, 0, 0, 0.32, 2.0, -0.68, 0.0, -1.57, 0.97, 1.57],
                [0, 0, 0, 0, 0.32, 0.0, -0.68, 0.0, -1.57, 0.97, 1.7]]
trajectory = planner.plan(waypoints)  # this fails

I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "jacobi_testing.py", line 22, in <module>
    trajectory = planner.plan(waypoints)
jacobi.JacobiError:

ABBDriver returns to some default position when idle after move

πŸ›  Done

After executing motion the ABBDriver moves the robot to some default pose (seems like it's the pose the robot was in when the driver was created?). Expected behaviour is to stay where the motion finished.
The rapid program was configured with EGM_STOP_HOLD flag:
EGMRunJoint egm_id, EGM_STOP_HOLD, \J1 \J2 \J3 \J4 \J5 \J6 \CondTime:=10;
If program is shutdown just after the move is finished the robot stays in place.

ABBDriver trajectory execution issues

πŸ›  Done

The ABBDriver methods: run(), move_to() and move_to_async() results in killing the program without executing the motion or raising any exception.
run_async() executes motion to some point and kills the program without any indication of a reason.
