Operation

GUI Program

NOTE:

  • This instructions are supposed to be running on PC with ROS packages installed in. Please run the instructions below on your PC ROS packages installed in.
  • Make sure to run the OpenMANIPULATOR-X controller instructions before running the GUI Program.
  1. Launch the GUI program. The OpenMANIPULATOR-X Controller must be running on another terminal.
    $ roslaunch open_manipulator_control_gui open_manipulator_control_gui.launch
    
  2. Click the Timer Start button.

  3. Check the status of OpenMANIPULATOR-X.

  4. To manipulate OpenMANIPULATOR-X in the joint space, enter the joint angles and total time for the trajectory. Then click the send button to start the motion.

  5. To manipulate OpenMANIPULATOR-X in the task space, enter the kinematics pose of the OpenMANIPULATOR-X end-effector(tool) in the task space and the total time for the trajectory. Then click the send button to start the motion.

  6. To create a drawing trajectory with OpenMANIPULATOR-X, choose the drawing trajectory type(line, circle, rhombus, heart). And enter the parameters according to the drawing trajectory type and the total time of the drawing trajectory. Then click the send button to start drawing.

  • The GUI for Arduino example is provided with the Processing.
  • Please refer to the Launch Controller in the Basic Operation section.

Control Interface

NOTE: Upload OpenCR example source code to OpenCR before run processing source code.

  1. To manipulate the OpenMANIPULATOR, click the toggle button to CONTROLLER ON.

  2. The user can manipulate the OpenMANIPULATOR-X in the joint space.
    Set the joint angles. Then click the SEND JOINT ANGLE button. And set the gripper parameter. Then click the SET GRIPPER button.

  3. The user can manipulate the OpenMANIPULATOR-X in the task space.
    Click the TASK SPACE CONTROL button to change the tab.
    Click the desired direction button to manipulate the OpenMANIPULATOR.

Hand Guiding

The user can make the demonstration using hand guiding function.

  1. Click the HAND GUIDING button to change the tab.
  2. Holds the OpenMANIPULATOR-X by hand and click the toggle button to TORQUE OFF.
  3. Move the OpenMANIPULATOR-X to the desired pose by hand.
  4. Click the SAVE JOINT POSE to save the present pose.
  5. Repeat step 3 and 4 to create the demonstration.
  6. Click the toggle button to TORQUE ON
  7. Click the MOTION START button to start the saved poses.

Click the toggle button to MOTION REPEAT ON if you want to repeat the demonstration. The total time of the trajectory between saved poses is the same as 2 seconds.

Teleoperation

NOTE:

Keyboard

TIP: Terminal can be found with the Ubuntu search icon on the top left corner of the screen. Shortcut key for Terminal is Ctrl+Alt+t.

  1. Launch open_manipulator_teleop_keyboard node for simple teleoperation test using the keyboard.
    The OpenMANIPULATOR-X Controller must be running on another terminal.
    $ roslaunch open_manipulator_teleop open_manipulator_teleop_keyboard.launch
    
  2. If the node is successfully launched, the following instruction will appear in the terminal window.
