Feature |
Summary |
|---|---|
RT operations |
The robot can execute low-level commands like joint torques, joint positions, Cartesian pose, etc. at 1kHz. |
NRT operations |
The robot can execute high-level commands like plans, primitives, digital IO, etc. as well as NRT motion commands. |
RT states feedback |
The robot sends back states data at 1kHz no matter what control mode is being used. |
Gripper control |
Control any supported gripper connected to the robot. |
Device interface |
Enable, disable, and send generic commands to any supported device connected to the robot. |
Tool interface |
Add, remove, edit, switch, and get parameters of robot end-effector tools. |
Timeliness monitor |
When in a RT control mode, the robot server automatically checks if the user command arrives in time at 1kHz. |
Unix real-time scheduler |
User tasks added to this scheduler are executed periodically with adjustable execution interval and priority. |
Kinematics and dynamics engine |
Provide users with run-time access to important robot kinematics and dynamics data like Jacobian, mass matrix, gravity, reachability, etc. |
Portable libraries |
Self-contained C++ and Python libraries for various OS and CPU platforms, compatible with other third-party libraries. |
Example pool |
Plenty of informative and instructive examples covering almost every aspect of Flexiv RDK to help users get started quickly. |
Robot description |
Kinematics-only URDF and 3D mesh files of the robot for visualizers and simulators. |
Cross-platform |
Besides Linux, RDK also supports Windows and macOS. |
ARM processor support |
Besides x86_64, RDK also supports arm64 processors. |
