Hello! First of all, thank you very much for the software you wrote. I have downloaded and installed the latest version 1.4. How does the output data of the Kawasaki robot interface with the robot control cabinet? I didn't find a way. How do you exchange data between the two?
Hi there, thanks for the kind words! Someone will need to write a postprocess that converts the raw animation data into the Kawasaki robot language as we've done with KUKA and ABB. Unfortunately we can't do it due to lack of experience with Kawasaki, but you can take a look at the documentation (mimic/scripts/postproc/postproc.md) to see what's involved
Hey, so I still saw there is a tracking issue when you do it like that. While the IK rotates directly on the axis, the FK behaves a bit strange and does not exactly target/rotate in the right way. is there a fix?
That's to be expected - when you're in FK mode the flange will generally move in an arc and not a straight line. The best thing to do is to avoid the problem altogether by translating the whole move to a spot where the robot is in a better position. This approach is really a last resort if you need to fix something and you can't move the whole path

Great stuff, and, this can be used in arduino robot arms too???
Thanks! in theory, yes. you would just have to work out the motor control aspects on the hardware side, but it's doable
