Hello everyone,

we are using an UR5e connected to a OnRobot Eyes camera.  
Our idea was that the robot would follow a path and takes a photo with the camera after every waypoint. Now the question: is there a way to access the pictures that the camera takes directly from the PC? Is there perhaps some kind of API? I couldn’t find anything in my research. Thanks for any help!

I don’t know where and how the URCap stores the pictures, but the robot’s filesystem can be accessed through SSH/FTP.  
Maybe you could contact OnRobot and ask, if the images are stored somewhere accessible? 🙂
