Create a Path for Baxter
Create a Path for Baxter
Paths, Waypoints, Poses
There are times when you may want to define the path Baxter’s arm takes when it moves from one
action to another. This is useful for basic machine tending, for example, or to ensure the arm avoids
hitting items in the immediate work area. To accomplish this, you create a path for Baxter. A
path
is
a series of
waypoints
or
poses
of Baxter’s arm.
This illustration shows waypoints along a defined path. In the middle a transit waypoint is high-
lighted.
Waypoints are poses you create along the arm’s path where Baxter’s arm changes in some way
from its previous or next location. Changes in position and/or orientation of the arm are opportuni-
ties to create waypoints.
