Though it is possible to calculate the optimal (the shortest move from current robot position) inverse
kinematic solution (commands
SetAutoConf
and
SetAutoConfTurn
), we highly recommend that you
always specify the desired values for the configurations parameters (with the commands
SetConf
and
SetConfTurn
) for every Cartesian-coordinates motion command (i.e.,
MovePose
and the various
MoveLin
*
commands), when programming your robot in
online mode
.
