% open a connection to the VREP simulator % % Notes:: % - the VREP constructor needs to know where V-REP is installed. % - This can come from the environment variable VREP % - Or you can edit this file to something like % vrep=VREP('/Applications/V-REP_PRO_EDU_V3_1_3_rev2b_Mac'); %%begin % create a connection to a running instance of V-REP vrep = VREP(); % let's change our viewpoint, move the camera further away % % first we get an object to mirror the default camera cam = vrep.camera('DefaultCamera'); % then get the camera position p = cam.getpos % then set the camera be twice as far away cam.setpos(2*p) % add the human figure Bill bill = vrep.loadmodel('people/Walking Bill'); % get the initial pose of Bill T = bill.getpose() % now we can change his position bill.setpos([0.1, 0.2, 0]); % make him turn to his right bill.setorient([0 0 -pi/4]) % make him lean forward a bit bill.setorient([0 pi/8 0]) % now set him back to his initial position and orientation bill.setpose(T); % now we will setup some nested loops to make him shuffle around a square orient = [0 0 0]; for j=1:4 step = [0.05 0 0]; bill.setorient(orient); % move forward for i=1:30 % move relative to current pose bill.setpos(step, bill); end % turn at right angles orient(3) = orient(3) + pi/2; end % remove the model from the scene bill.remove(); % now we will load a scene into VREP that contains Bill, a tree, a mirror % and a camera vrep.loadscene(which('scene1.ttt'), 'local'); % we will get a handle to the camera camera = vrep.camera('Vision_sensor'); % now we start the simulator, it must be running in order for the % camera to render vrep.simstart(); % now we loop as the camera creeps forward (in the z-direction) and we % display the frames for i=1:20 camera.setpos([0 0 0.05], camera); camera.grab(); drawnow end % stop the simulation vrep.simstop(); % clear the scene, remove all objects vrep.clearscene(); % add a model of an ABB IRB140 robot model = vrep.loadmodel('robots/non-mobile/ABB IRB 140'); % and create a VREP_arm object arm = vrep.arm(model); % set the pose of the robot's base arm.setpose( transl(0.3, 0.4, 0)); % get the joint angles q = arm.getq(); % now move the robot's joints arm.setq(q+0.3); % clear the scene, remove all objects vrep.clearscene(); % close the connection to the VREP simulator clear vrep
