Error in widget Iframe: unable to write file /project/class-www/engineering/2017/fall/ese497/extensions/Widgets/compiled_templates/wrt6743f24c8e6016_11136968

Example of moving the robot to a specific location from Matlab:

  • Place marker and metal can exactly as shown above
  • Turn on Robot
    • Menu -> Setup -> Frames
      • Verify Tool Frame 1 is set to [0,0,0]
      • Verify Tool Frame 2 is set to [0,0,95.3] so that the TCP is at the end of the gripper
    • Launch LV_COM_FRM on Teaching Pendant following instructions at Fanuc_How_Tos,_FAQ,_etc.#FAQ
    • Download FanucLabviewKinect.zip from Matlab Fanuc Kinect
  • Run Matlab2Fanuc.m


Sample values to run in Matlab2Fanuc.m; demonstrates how to use Tool Frame 2:

values_to_send = [ [392.5 88.4 -236.3 -90 0 -90 1 0]; ... % Go to X,Y,Z but 3" from marker
[0 0 0 -63.6 -135 0 1 2]; ... % Orient Tool
[0 0 3*25.4 0 0 0 1 2]; ... % Move In
[0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2]; ... % Close Gripper
[0 0 -3*25.4 0 0 0 0 2]; ... % Move Out
[350 -200 0 -90 0 -90 1 0]; ... % Move to trash can and open gripper
];
