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 robots, tools and controllers ready to drop in to your scripts
Program translation to ABB RAPID, KUKA 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
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.
Hi - just installed Hal and trying to connect to my IRC5 controller for an ABB 120. The simulation is working fine but it doesn't seem to be speaking to the physical controller. I am assuming the virtual Controller needs to be configured when I select the controller. The video tutorial 1:1 doesn't display the configuration panel where the setting is defined, but my networked controller shows and I have selected it. In Robot studio I would ask for write permission but this does seem to be an option. What have I missed that is preventing me from communicating with my robot to execute a path?
Thanks for getting me going with this it looks great.
