It would be cool to be able to use the “Automove” (Move here button) window like the “getUserDefinedRobotPosition()”. To set the robot back on position with a comand.

Thanks in advanced

Thanks for the feature request,  
Can you elaborate on the user scenario?  
E.g. whether you would be in possession of a Pose, JointPosition or both, when performing this “Automove”.

We are currently produce a machine that will be used to grease various prototypes. So my costumer need functions to make lines and circles of grease. So I’d like to setup a form to select an start or an center point for this greasing procedure. Thus i need also a function to move the robot back on the reached position. To reassure the position.

It would be awesome to have both of course. But for my application I just need it for pose positions.

Thank you very much

i bypassed this missing node by creating a URCap using the ClientSendScript Class. Just send a move command with saved pose settings to Secondary Interface by triggering a Button with InputEvent.EventType.ON\_PRESSED. Use InputEvent.EventType.ON\_RELEASED to stop the Robot by sending a stop command.

It would be cool to use the “Automove” indeed.

It would be awesome to allow the user to move to a variable position defined by him in the installation window, in order to prove that this position is reachable.

For my application, just pose position is fine.

Thanks for your effort!
