Hi Peter,
I have found two errors to run the code in Kinematics.ipynb file:
Error 1. "Could not connect to the Swift simulator" during running the code below
env = rtb.backends.Swift() # instantiate 3D browser-based visualizer
env.launch() # activate it
env.add(robot) # add robot to the 3D scene
for qk in qt.q: # for each joint configuration on trajectory
robot.q = qk # update the robot state
env.step() # update visualization
This is due to recent backend changes, easiest way to use Swift is the
backend=‘swift’
Option to plot.
Error 2. The line below do not run,
p560.plot(p560.qn);
What was the error?
… Can you please provide your valuable advise regarding these problems?
Thanks in advance!

Error was "IPython is not defined". Moreover, during running qt.q , this error is occurred : "'Trajectory' object has no attribute 'q'" . Thanks. |

I have another query. I am working with C-Arm kinematics. I need to create DH table for 10 DOF for C-Arm. Do you have any materials or code to create DH parameter for own piece of Robot? Thanks a million. I really appreciate your worthy time and assistance. |

When calculating the inverse kinematics, the program returns a list of numbers representing the joint angles. How would I call these angles individually so they can be converted into something like motor movement? I cannot find what their variable names are. |

I guess I put this out a little too soon and found out shortly after. For anyone wondering the same thing, the individual joint angles from the inverse kinematics can be called by using sol.q[n] where n is the joint number. |

Correct! The object contains other useful status information as well.
The kinematic notebook and the top level README explain this

When creating a new DH model, I can enter alpha, d, and a, but I cannot enter the theta column from my DH table. Is there a way to do this or a different way around this? |

Question: How to Import my robot.URDF to python in such a way to get all properties (M, C, J, ...) same as MATLAB Robotics Toolbox. Explanation: clc I think It can be done manually by defining DH and Mechanical properties to create DHRobot. However, a simple way would be much appreciated. |

I'm having some trouble with plotting. I have tried different ways to plot several robots, and I usually end up with this error: Python says the error comes from these lines. This also shows a blank plot with no robot in it. Does anyone know how to fix this? |

How are you creating the trajectory object?

Python says the error comes from these lines.
qt = rtb.jtraj(beep, q_pickup, 50)
robot.plot(qt.q, movie='panda1.gif')
This also shows a blank plot with no robot in it. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Here's what would have saved a lot of time. You send me the error traceback like below for the simplest case that will cause the problem. The problem I'm seeing is in matplotlib from plot, nothing to do with trajectories. I'll check this out over the weekend. |

The error traceback I get from my code above is only one line, which is also above. It says the trajectory object has no attribute q. Everything is in the first comment I made. I also changed qt.q to qt.y and get no errors, but there is still a blank plot showing up. I can also now print the trajectory so the problem is with plotting. |

robot = ERobot.URDF(urdf file name)
s
10000
hould create an ERobot instance from the file. Inertial information, if present will be read in. You can display the kinematic params
by
print(robot)
and the inertial params by
robot.dynamics()

Question: How to Import my robot.URDF to python in such a way to get all properties (M, C, J, ...) same as MATLAB Robotics Toolbox.
Explanation:
Because of some reason, I have to move to python.
It was very easy and straightforward to import our serial robot(URDF format) in Matlab, for example:
clc
clear
robotCadName = 'mySerialRobot.urdf';
[folderName,~] = split(robotCadName,'.');
meshPath = fullfile(pwd, 'CADModel', 'URDF', folderName1{1});
robot = importrobot(robotCadName,'MeshPath', meshPath);
clearCollision(robot.Base)
clearVisual(robot.Base)
I think It can be done manually by defining DH and Mechanical properties to create DHRobot. However, a simple way would be much appreciated.

Hi Peter, Many Thanks!
Error:
I have tested, but I have received the following error:
AttributeError: type object 'ERobot' has no attribute 'URDF'
My Code:
from roboticstoolbox import ERobot
import os
pwd = os.getcwd()
pth = os.path.dirname(pwd)
urdf_loc = pth + "\two_links_robot\two_links_robot.urdf"
robot = ERobot.URDF(urdf_loc)
Extra Explanation:
As a simple example, I've created a two links robot by Solidwork and export it as URDF. That creates a create URDF as a package (For example "mesh filename="package://two_links_robot/meshes/Base.STL" />" for Base) which directly can be loaded to MATLAB. However, I have found this should be modified for some URDF readers such as urdfpy. Both files have been attached.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Code ++++++++++++
from urdfpy import URDF
import os
import numpy as np
pwd = os.getcwd()
pth = os.path.dirname(pwd)
urdf_loc = pth + "\two_links_robot\two_links_robot.urdf"
robot = URDF.load(urdf_loc)
robot.animate(cfg_trajectory={
'q0': [-np.pi / 4, np.pi / 4],
'q1': [0.0, -np.pi / 2.0],

The version on GH has the ability to read URDF
ERobot.URDF(filename)
You don’t need urdfpy.

@petercorke Is there a way to do self collision checking? I see the iscollided function, but it seems this is for checking if any of the arm links have collided with an external shape as you have to pass in the joint angles and a shape. But I'm wondering if there is a way to check if any of the arm links are colliding with each other in a certain joint angle configuration. I've checked that my links have collision geometry, and even tried passing in a link geometry to the iscollided function, but it always returns true in this case since this function cycles through the links and checks if they have collided with the shape (in this case, a link will have collided with itself). |

Hi @kraudust. self-collision check has been imlemented for Panda in DH models. Make sure to have install prtb with collision and try the following code snippet. |

@petercorke im currently trying to setup a simulation of a UR3 robot arm through the SWIFT backend. Im currently running into an issue where the compiler tells me that there is no running asyncio eventloops. Im running some code i know worked back in august of 2024, so i tried reverting all relevant packages to then, but i still get the same issue. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this?
