MOVE_JOINT

Linearly move the robot's tool to an absolute Cartesian position. Params: ip_address : String The IP address of the robot arm. x : float The x coordinate of the position to move to y : float The y coordinate of the position to move to z : float The z coordinate of the position to move to alpha : float The alpha coordinate (rotation in radians about the x axis) of the position to move to. beta : float The beta coordinate (rotation in radians about the y axis) of the position to move to. gamma : float The gamma coordinate (rotation in radians about the z axis) of the position to move to. Returns: out : String The IP address of the robot arm.

In this example, the MOVE_JOINT node moves the robot arm to a specified Cartesian position.

The node takes in the x, y, and z coordinates, along with optional alpha, beta, and gamma rotations in radians.

After initiating the movement, the node waits for the robot arm to become idle, indicating that the movement is complete.

The MOVE_JOINT node is commonly used in workflows where precise positioning of the robot arm is required, such as picking up an object or performing a specific task.
