# Generic Robotic Arm

A package containing utility and interfaces to teach and control a robotic arm.

## Features

• Enables control of a robotic arms individual joints by pressing keys

• Provides a SiLA2 server to give high level commands and teaching

• Navigation of the robotic arm through a taught position network

• Visualization of the robots position network and current path and location

• Easy adaption to new hardware through clear interface

• Existing interface implementations for: - a simulated arm (Dummy) - an arduino controlled [JoyIt](https://joy-it.net/en/products/Robot02) - [Dorna2](https://dorna.ai/robots/dorna-2/) - [UFactory XArm](https://www.ufactory.cc/xarm-collaborative-robot/) - [Precise Flex 400](https://www.brooks.com/laboratory-automation/collaborative-robots/preciseflex-400/) - [Precise Flex on a rail](https://www.brooks.com/preciseflex-robots/preciseflex-3400/)

## Installation
