Interaction Utilities

Guide to the Interactions present in the bottom panel

Immediately below the View Adjust Mode and the Robot Control Mode, there are features that are designed to simplify using the robot.

Reset View

Resets the position of the user to the default position.

Reset Scale

Resets the scale of the world to default. The position in the world remains the same.

Grip Mode

Switches between analogue and on-off mode for the gripper. In the analogue mode, the gripper follows the position of the controller's trigger. In the on-off mode, the trigger toggles between fully closed and fully open gripper positions. This button is only available with robots that have a gripper.

Orientation Lock

This locks the robot's gripper in its current position such that further movements will move the arm whilst the gripper remains in position.

Follow Head

Only available for humanoid robots with head position control, such as PAL Robotics Tiago. Switches the robot head control between joystick control or following the user's head position.
