Class MotionClient

A gRPC-web client for a Motion service.

Implements

Constructors

Properties

callOptions: CallOptions = ...
name: string

The name of the resource.

Methods

  • Send/Receive arbitrary commands to the resource.

    Parameters

    • command: Struct

      The command to execute.

    • callOptions: CallOptions = ...

    Returns Promise<JsonValue>

    import { Struct } from '@viamrobotics/sdk';

    const result = await resource.doCommand(
    Struct.fromJson({
    myCommand: { key: 'value' },
    })
    );
  • By default: returns the plan history of the most recent moveOnGlobe() or moveOnMap() call to move a component. The plan history for executions before the most recent can be requested by providing an ExecutionID in the request. Returns a result if both of the following conditions are met:

    • The execution (call to moveOnGlobe() or moveOnMap()) is still executing or changed state within the last 24 hours
    • The robot has not reinitialized

    Plans never change. Replans always create new plans. Replans share the ExecutionID of the previously executing plan. All repeated fields are in chronological order.

    Parameters

    • componentName: string

      The component to query

    • OptionallastPlanOnly: boolean
    • OptionalexecutionId: string
    • extra: {} = {}
    • callOptions: CallOptions = ...

    Returns Promise<motionApi.GetPlanResponse>

    const motion = new VIAM.MotionClient(machine, 'builtin');
    const baseName = 'my_base';

    // Get the plan(s) of the base component
    const response = await motion.getPlan(baseName);

    For more information, see Motion API.

  • Get the current location and orientation of a component.

    Parameters

    • componentName: string

      The component whose Pose is being requested.

    • destinationFrame: string

      The reference frame in which the component's Pose should be provided, if unset this defaults to the "world" reference frame.

    • supplementalTransforms: PlainMessage<commonApi.Transform>[]

      Pose information on any additional reference frames that are needed to compute the component's Pose.

    • extra: {} = {}
    • callOptions: CallOptions = ...

    Returns Promise<commonApi.PoseInFrame>

    const motion = new VIAM.MotionClient(machine, 'builtin');

    const gripperName = 'my_gripper';

    // Get the gripper's pose in world coordinates
    const gripperPoseInWorld = await motion.getPose(
    gripperName,
    'world',
    []
    );

    For more information, see Motion API.

  • Returns the statuses of plans created by MoveOnGlobe calls that meet at least one of the following conditions since the motion service initialized:

    • The plan's status is in progress
    • The plan's status changed state within the last 24 hours

    All repeated fields are in chronological order.

    Parameters

    • OptionalonlyActivePlans: boolean

      If true, the response will only return plans which are executing.

    • extra: {} = {}
    • callOptions: CallOptions = ...

    Returns Promise<motionApi.ListPlanStatusesResponse>

    const motion = new VIAM.MotionClient(machine, 'builtin');

    // List plan statuses within the TTL
    const response = await motion.listPlanStatuses();

    For more information, see Motion API.

  • Move any component on the robot to a specified destination which can be from the reference frame of any other component on the robot.

    Parameters

    • destination: PlainMessage

      Destination to move to, which can a pose in the reference frame of any frame in the robot's frame system.

    • componentName: string

      Component on the robot to move to the specified destination.

    • OptionalworldState: PlainMessage<commonApi.WorldState>

      Avoid obstacles by specifying their geometries in the world state. Augment the frame system of the robot by specifying additional transforms to add to it for the duration of the Move.

    • Optionalconstraints: PlainMessage<motionApi.Constraints>

      Constrain the way the robot will move.

    • extra: {} = {}
    • callOptions: CallOptions = ...

    Returns Promise<boolean>

    const motion = new VIAM.MotionClient(machine, 'builtin');

    // Assumes a gripper configured with name "my_gripper"
    cconst gripperName = "my_gripper";

    const goalPose: VIAM.Pose = {
    x: -817,
    y: -230,
    z: 62,
    oX: -1,
    oY: 0,
    oZ: 0,
    theta: 90,
    };
    const goalPoseInFrame = new VIAM.PoseInFrame({
    referenceFrame: 'world',
    pose: goalPose,
    });

    // Move the gripper
    const moved = await motion.move(goalPoseInFrame, gripperName);

    For more information, see Motion API.

  • Move a component to a specific latitude and longitude, using a MovementSensor to check the location. moveOnGlobe() is non blocking, meaning the motion service will move the component to the destination GPS point after moveOnGlobe() returns. Each successful moveOnGlobe() call retuns a unique ExectionID which you can use to identify all plans generated durring the moveOnGlobe() call. You can monitor the progress of the moveOnGlobe() call by querying getPlan() and listPlanStatuses().

    Parameters

    • destination: PlainMessage

      Destination for the component to move to, represented as a GeoPoint.

    • componentName: string

      The name of the component to move.

    • movementSensorName: string

      The name of the Movement Sensor used to check the robot's location.

    • Optionalheading: number

      Compass heading, in degrees, to achieve at destination.

    • OptionalobstaclesList: PlainMessage<commonApi.GeoGeometry>[]

      Obstacles to consider when planning the motion of the component.

    • OptionalmotionConfig: PlainMessage<motionApi.MotionConfiguration>
    • OptionalboundingRegionsList: PlainMessage<commonApi.GeoGeometry>[]
    • extra: {} = {}
    • callOptions: CallOptions = ...

    Returns Promise<string>

    const motion = new VIAM.MotionClient(machine, 'builtin');

    // Define destination at GPS coordinates [0,0]
    const destination: VIAM.GeoPoint = {
    latitude: 40.7,
    longitude: -73.98,
    };

    const baseName = 'my_base';
    const movementSensorName = 'my_movement_sensor';

    // Move the base to the geographic location
    const globeExecutionId = await motion.moveOnGlobe(
    destination,
    baseName,
    movementSensorName
    );

    For more information, see Motion API.

  • Move a component to a Pose in respect to the origin of the SLAM map, using a SLAM service to check the location. moveOnMap()is non blocking, meaning the motion service will move the component to the destination Pose aftermoveOnMap()returns. Each successfulmoveOnMap()call retuns a unique ExectionID which you can use to identify all plans generated durring themoveOnMap()call. You can monitor the progress of themoveOnMap()call by queryinggetPlan()andlistPlanStatuses()`.

    Parameters

    • destination: PlainMessage

      Specify a destination to, which can be any Pose with respect to the SLAM map's origin.

    • componentName: string

      Component on the robot to move to the specified destination.

    • slamServiceName: string

      Name of the SLAM service from which the SLAM map is requested

    • OptionalmotionConfig: PlainMessage<motionApi.MotionConfiguration>
    • Optionalobstacles: PlainMessage<commonApi.Geometry>[]

      Optional obstacles to be considered for motion planning.

    • extra: {} = {}
    • callOptions: CallOptions = ...

    Returns Promise<string>

    const motion = new VIAM.MotionClient(machine, 'builtin');

    // Define destination pose with respect to map origin
    const myPose: VIAM.Pose = {
    x: 0,
    y: 10,
    z: 0,
    oX: 0,
    oY: 0,
    oZ: 0,
    theta: 0,
    };

    const baseName = 'my_base';
    const slamServiceName = 'my_slam_service';

    // Move the base to Y=10 (location of 0,10,0) relative to map origin
    const executionId = await motion.moveOnMap(
    myPose,
    baseName,
    slamServiceName
    );

    • callOptions: CallOptions = ...

    Returns Promise<null>

    const motion = new VIAM.MotionClient(machine, 'builtin');
    const baseName = 'my_base';
