UR5e

UR5e

Inherits from: Robot

A class to control the Universal Robots UR5e robotic arm.

This class provides methods to control the UR5e robot arm using the RTDE interface. It supports basic movement controls, gripper operations, and status queries.

Attributes

rtde_c

RTDE Control interface object

rtde_r

RTDE Receive interface object

end_effector

Gripper/end effector object if attached

UR5e

UR5e(robot_ip: str, end_effector, velocity: float, acceleration: float)

Initialize the UR5e robot arm.

Arguments

robot_ip (str) · required

defaults to “192.168.1.102”. IP address of the robot. Defaults to “192.168.1.102”.

end_effector (optional) · required

defaults to None. End effector class to use. Defaults to None.

velocity (float) · required

defaults to 0.1. Default velocity scaling (0-1). Defaults to 0.1.

acceleration (float) · required

defaults to 0.1. Default acceleration scaling (0-1). Defaults to 0.1.

getImage

UR5e.getImage(camera_name: str, image_type: str)

Get an image from the robot’s camera.

The UR5e does not have a camera, so this method always raises an exception.

Arguments

camera_name (str) · required

Unused

image_type (str) · required

Unused

Returns

Image

Never returns as exception is raised

cleanup

UR5e.cleanup()

moveToDeltaPose

UR5e.moveToDeltaPose(delta_pose: Pose, blocking: bool, moving_time: float, accel_time: float)

Move the robot end effector by a relative pose offset from its current pose.

Arguments

delta_pose (Pose) · required

Pose

Relative pose offset to move by, containing position and orientation deltas

blocking (bool), optional

defaults to False. Wait for movement to complete. Defaults to False.

moving_time (float), optional

moveToPose

UR5e.moveToPose(position: Position, orientation: Orientation, blocking: bool, moving_time: float, accel_time: float, name: str)

Move the robot end effector to a specified pose.

Arguments

position (Position) · required

Position

Target position coordinates

orientation (Orientation) · required

Orientation

Target orientation

blocking (bool), optional

defaults to 0.15. Time to accelerate/decelerate. Defaults to 0.15.

name (str), optional

Unused

moveByVelocity

UR5e.moveByVelocity(linear_velocity: Velocity, angular_velocity: Velocity, name: str)

Move the robot end effector with specified velocities.

Arguments

name (str), optional

Unused

stop

UR5e.stop(immediate)

Stop any movement of the robot.

Arguments

shutdown

UR5e.shutdown()

getEndEffectorPose

UR5e.getEndEffectorPose()

Get the current end effector pose.

Returns

Pose
