Re: Cartesian Robot Script

Hello,

the best is probably to first follow this tutorial to get a general idea.

Re: Python Regular API Joint Force is None

Starting with CoppeliaSim V4.7, sim.getJointForce will simply return 0.0 instead of previously None.

Re: "Simulation step" and "Simulation time"

You can adjust the simulation step and the dynamics step individually, according to your needs. By default the simulation step is 50ms, and the dynamics step is 5ms. If you need to control a dynamic aspect of a simulation in each dynamics step, then you should do that inside of a joint callback func...

Re: CoppeliaSim for Surface cleaning

Hello,

not sure if I understand exactly what you mean... but why not give the tool a friction of zero?

Re: repeated exception warning while using remote API

Hello,

I am not sure this is directly related to CoppeliaSim or its ZeroMQ remote API. By googling for that error, you'll find a few hints to what might be causing this.

Re: VHACD -> CoACD?

Hello, you can already use CoACD with following Python script (e.g. as a CoppeliaSim embedded script): # python import numpy as np import coacd def getConvexDecomposed(shapeHandle): p = sim.getObjectPose(shapeHandle) vertices, indices, normals = sim.getShapeMesh(shapeHandle) vertices = sim.multiplyV...

Re: Attach a gripper to a robotic arm

Hello, at some point, you need to decide about where the attachment frames (or poses) are, relative to your end-effector, and relative to your tools. There is no need for physical objects (e.g. dummies) acting as attachment frames, you could simply have that info in some data base. But that gets mes...

Re: An error when using simIK.findConfig

Hello, you are mixing up the IK and the CoppeliaSim worlds: the IK world has its own set of handles. The IK world might reflect the CoppeliaSim world structurally (i.e. both kinematic chains in the IK and CoppeliaSim world are identical), but handles are distinct. You can find out about a handle's c...
