Note:
The offset is meant to shift the rotation center for wrist rotation from the center of
the gripper to a point corresponding to the rim of a typical sized drinking glass held by the
gripper. This way, the wrist will rotate, but around a point on the rim of a virtual glass, aided
by movement of the elbow of the robot arm. This is similar to the way we coordinate an
adjusted rotation of our wrist with movement of our forearm and elbow while drinking with
a glass so that the glass tips its rim toward the mouth to pour.
In
Finger mode
, the user controls the opening and closing of the fingers.
Note:
The robot will sometimes respond differently to a given command than described in
this section. This may be due to the singularity and collision avoidance algorithms embedded
in the kinematics. It is a normal protective behaviour of the robot and is position dependent.
