Universal robot script and VREP

Post by richardh »

I'm quite new to this field, so may be my question is silly, and what I need is a link to some tutorial.
Task: I want to test on a VREP simulation a program written in Universal Robots script.
I found a scene with an AR5 and a conveyor, but the script is in LUA.
I also found a scene through google that can read a set of positions for each degree of freedom. But that is not quite what I need.
Is there any work that can take a UR script and simulate the movement?
If not, is there any work that partially accomplishes the task?

Hello,

you will need for that a UR script interpreter. The most basic version of this would be a Lua script that translates UR code and generates the appropriate movements for the simulated robot.

A more elaborate way would be to do this inside of a plugin. There is an example of how to do this if you look at the demo scene robotLanguageControl.ttt and the corresponding tutorial here.

Cheers
