Controlling the Robot
Ways of interfacing
02
As long as Eva remains online and errorless, it will execute any valid instruction
from the device (such as a computer or tablet) with Robot Ownership.
The simplest way to take ownership and send instructions to the robot is with
Choreograph - a simple user interface accessible with your web browser.
Engaging the lock button on the main Choreograph toolbar claims ownership
and prevents any other device from doing the same, until the lock is disengaged
or the user is idle for five minutes.
Choreograph provides a Dashboard and a Viewer for manipulating a 3D virtual
robot, which the physical robot can imitate.
Many programs require no code at all from the user. Choreograph can instruct
the robot to execute a single Toolpath indefinitely, or for a fixed number of
cycles. Toolpaths consist of a series of Waypoints along a Timeline, each
specifying a position and orientation for the robot’s toolplate.
Advanced programs might involve multiple toolpaths, triggered by certain
conditions, and some applications might circumvent toolpaths entirely, relying
instead on rotating individual joints by a specific number of degrees.
Either can be achieved by writing code that sends API requests to the robot. In
these cases, Choreograph still serves as a handy tool for monitoring the robot
and managing user permissions.
