HAL Robotics Framework

Today is a very exciting day for all of us here at HAL Robotics.
It has been a long two years in the making but we are proud to be finally taking the first public step towards the 

1.0 release of the HAL Robotics Framework.

Ready for testing and available to download today are the 1.0-beta versions of the Core feature-set and the Grasshopper client application.
 
This means that from right now you will be able to test and break work-in-progress versions of:

  • Accurate real-time simulation 
  • Trajectory diagnosis including detection of out-of reach and singular positions
  • Motions specified in Cartesian or joint spaces
  • Simulation of blended motions
  • Online preset catalogs accessible from within Grasshopper, of robotstools and controllers ready to drop in to your scripts
  • Program translation to ABB RAPIDKUKA KRL or Universal Robots URScript
  • Lightweight installer which allows you to add, remove and update extensions to the framework with ease
  • Cloud-based licenses to share between you own computers or your whole organisation
  • User interface adapting to the level of control you require

TRY NOW!

With that we shall let you get started but don’t forget, this is public now so by all means spread the word to anyone you think may also be interested in testing out this new toolkit.

 
Happy programming,
The HAL Robotics Team

    Dear all,

    Due to recurrent issues with the old HAL 5 licensing system on windows 10, I just published a fixing utility on the food4rhino page. All licensed users are invited to execute this utility on their machine after installing the new windows creators update, and future major win10 updates.

    Best regards,

    Thibault

    Hey There. Thank you guys for developing HAL. Things are much easier using it!

    A quick question: is there any way to synch Arduino/Firefly with HAL?
