CoppeliaSim forums

Hi, If i have two objects set with with exact same parameters using the Vortex physics engine (i.e. Scaled box etc) ... but they have differing coefficients of friction. How is the overall coefficient calculated? Cm Labs themselves suggest that if a scaledbox and scaledboxfast object collide, the mo...

Hi,

I put a sim.waitForSignal at the start of the function sysCall_threadmain() and then set this signal elsewhere so I can give it this signal when it suits me.

This is working for me anyway, but if you have any better suggestions, that would be great, but I think this should do.

Thanks!

Hi, Sorry i didn't see the reply until now! Yes, so this is what I have so far: From my python script I connect to CoppeliaSim, start the simulation, and import a set of fingers and attach them to the robot. The below threaded child script controlls my robots movements: (I am moving an object 100 ti...

Hi! So I am doing a final year project and I have been asked to integrate my simulation with Python somewhat. My simulation is a pretty basic pick and place experiment using IK. I'm sorry, I know this is a very broad question but I'm just looking for some relatively simple suggestions on what I coul...

Well at least its not just me, thanks for trying!

Hi, Thank you very much for the reply! I have tried to change the fingers and jaws to simple convex shapes and also to primitive cuboids. I have increased and decreased the moments of inertia and masses on the above also.... All with no success. Newton seems to be able to pick up the force increase ...

Hi again! Thank you very much for the help above! Here's my latest scene: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dqSZuPSb_JfK4ozJ247EEKZ69NVFVL5M I have now placed a force sensor between the gripping fingers and the jaw which holds them in the EGN100 Gripper. I use this to read the force in the Y-axis th...

Understood, thank you again! Just another quick question. Do you have any idea as to why the robot "jumps" slightly on its path as it gets back to its starting position and begins to descend with the part gripped? It doesn't do this on its return path either? Really appreciate all your help.

Hi, Thank you so much for getting back to me! I will attach a link to my scene below. I have managed to get the gripper functional using a center joint and a open/close joint as you suggested. 1) Currently, in the "KukaKR10" child script I set the gripper data (velocity, force and open - c...

Hi, Apologies in advance, I am very new to CoppeliaSim and coding in general. I am looking to simulate the linear movement of the 2 jaws in a "Schunk EGN100" gripper. The gripper is imported already and connected to a Kuka KR10. For this I have 2 prismatic joints and I can currently manual...
