Installation

Package can be installed by

cd ./micropsi-integration-sdk
pip3 install .

Python interfaces module

In the micropsi_integration_sdk python module can be found abstract interfaces declaring the methods that must be implemented for successful control of each supported robot type.

Examples

In the examples folder can be found toy examples of each robot implementation. These respond to the sandbox and dev server tools and simulate simple robot motion, but do not communicate with real hardware. They can be used as a starting point when developing a new robot implementation.

Mirai sandbox

Standalone tool to test an SDK-based robot interface implementation. This will attempt to read robot poses and send movement commands in ways similar to Mirai, helping to uncover problems related to geometry and real time control.

If successful, the robot will go through a defined sequence of tool pose changes and return to its start pose. See --help or below for details.

CAUTION This will attempt to move the robot. Although this tool (by default) only outputs low-speed commands, prepare for unexpected behavior including large, high-speed movements when testing with a newly written interface.

usage: mirai-sandbox [-h] [-m MODEL] [-ip IP_ADDRESS] [-sl SPEED_LINEAR] [-sa SPEED_ROTATION] [--test [{translations,single-rotations,chained-rotations} ...]] [--max-distance-translation MAX_DISTANCE_TRANSLATION]
                     [--max-distance-degrees MAX_DISTANCE_DEGREES] [-tl TOLERANCE_LINEAR] [-ta TOLERANCE_ROTATION] [-v] [-d DIMENSION] [-l LENGTH]
                     path

This will attempt to read poses and execute movements on a given robot interface.

Expected outcome: The robot moves through the following sequence of waypoints,
and ends up back at the start pose:

    # translations:
    1. Translate in tool +X by a set amount, then -X by the same amount (= return to origin)
    2. Similar for tool +/- Y
    3. Similar for tool +/- Z
    # single rotations:
    4. Rotate around tool +X by a set amount, then -X (= return to origin)
    5. Similar for tool +/- Y
    6. Similar for tool +/- Z
    7. Rotate around the tool XY diagonal, then return
    8. Similar for the YZ diagonal
    9. Similar for the XZ diagonal
    # chained rotations:
    10. Rotate around tool Z, then Y, then X; then return in the reverse order.

See --help for config options (e.g. range of motion, speed, including/excluding some of the motions)

Mirai dev server

This tool simulates a mirai controller in certain (very simplified) ways. Once started, it listens on port 6599 for the commands sent by either your PLC or robot program, or the mirai-dev-client tool. It accepts commands as documented in the binary skill api.

CAUTION When it receives the ExecuteSkill command, this tool will attempt to communicate with a robot at the configured address, and will run through an approximation of a full skill execution. If your sdk robot has been properly implemented, this should produce only miniscule motion, however this cannot be guaranteed. It is strongly recommended that you first test this in simulation before attempting to interface with real hardware.

usage: mirai-dev-server [-h] --robot-file ROBOT_FILE
                        [--robot-address ROBOT_ADDRESS]
                        [--server-address SERVER_ADDRESS] [--always-fail]
                        [--keepalive KEEPALIVE]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --robot-file ROBOT_FILE
                        File where the sdk robot implementation can be loaded. eg: './examples/cartesian_velocity_robot.py' (default: None)
  --robot-address ROBOT_ADDRESS
                        Address where the mirai dev server can expect to find the robot, for motion streaming. (default: localhost)
  --server-address SERVER_ADDRESS
                        Address that the mirai dev server should listen on. (default: 0.0.0.0)
  --always-fail         Cause the dev server to respond to every request with a failure message. (default: False)
  --keepalive KEEPALIVE
                        Keep idle client connections for KEEPALIVE seconds before dropping. (default: 60)

Usage example:
# mirai-dev-server --robot-file examples/cartesian_velocity_robot.py

Mirai dev client

This tool functions as an example client. It can be used as an initial smoke-test to confirm the functionality of the mirai-dev-server tool, including that of the ExecuteSkill command. Your goal as an integrator is to replicate the behaviour of this client tool in your own robot or PLC program.

CAUTION When it receives the ExecuteSkill command, the dev server will attempt to communicate with a robot at the configured address, and will run through an approximation of a full skill execution. If your sdk robot has been properly implemented, this should not produce any motion. It is strongly recommended that you first test this in simulation before attempting to control real hardware.

usage: mirai-dev-client [-h] [--server-address SERVER_ADDRESS] [--count COUNT]
                        [--period PERIOD] [--api-version {1,2}]
                        {GetBoxMetadata,GetTrainedSkills,ExecuteSkill,PrepareSkillAsync,GetResult,GetLastEndstateValues,GetExceptionMessage,KeepAlive}

positional arguments:
  {GetBoxMetadata,GetTrainedSkills,ExecuteSkill,PrepareSkillAsync,GetResult,GetLastEndstateValues,GetExceptionMessage,KeepAlive}

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --server-address SERVER_ADDRESS
                        Hostname or IP address where the mirai dev server is running. (default: localhost)
  --count COUNT         Send the command COUNT times, reusing the connection. (default: 1)
  --period PERIOD       Wait PERIOD seconds between sent messages. (default: 1)
  --api-version {1,2}   Format messages for the given mirai binary api version. (default: 1)

Usage example:
# mirai-dev-client GetBoxMetadata
