Connection Status

Movement Control

Control your robot using joints, inverse kinematics, or interactive gizmos.

Arctos Studio Pro offers several ways to control your robot:

1. Joint & IK Control Panel

Joint & IK Control Panel

The Joint Control panel provides direct control over each of the robot’s 6 joints using sliders:

• Joint Sliders: Drag to move each joint independently (J1-J6)
• Input boxes: Enter precise angle values in degrees
• Home button: Return all joints to zero position
• Real-time feedback: See current joint angles update as robot moves

2. End Effector Control (IK)

For more intuitive control, you can directly manipulate the robot’s end effector (the “hand” or “tool”).

IK Control Buttons

IK Sliders

Use the IK sliders to adjust end-effector position and rotation:

• X, Y, Z: Position in millimeters
• Rx, Ry, Rz: Rotation in degrees

IK Movement Buttons

Click on the translation or rotation images to move the robot in that direction:

• Single click: Incremental movement (configurable step size)
• Hold click: Continuous movement while held
• Arrow directions: Move in X+, X-, Y+, Y-, Z+, Z-

Keyboard Arrow Control

Use keyboard arrows for quick movement:

Interactive Gizmo

Click on the end-effector in the 3D view to show the manipulation gizmo:

Translate Mode
Drag arrows to move in X, Y, Z

Rotate Mode
Press G to toggle, drag rings to rotate

Joystick/Gamepad Control

Button Combinations

Create button combinations for advanced actions. Hold multiple buttons simultaneously to trigger special functions like recording targets or running programs.

Robot Programming

Create and execute robot programs using targets and sequences.

Program tab with target recording buttons and the Program Tree showing recorded targets

Recording Targets

A target stores the robot’s complete state: joint positions, gripper state, and movement parameters. This is the basic building block of robot programming.

1. Move the robot to the desired position using Joint sliders, IK controls, or the gizmo
2. Set the gripper state (open/closed) if needed
3. Click Record Target in the Program tab (or press T)
4. The target appears in the Program Tree on the right
5. Repeat for each position in your program

Movement Types

The movement type determines HOW the robot moves between targets. Choose the right type for your application:

Wait Commands

Add pauses to your program for gripper operations, curing time, or synchronization:

1. Click Add Wait in the Program tab
2. Choose wait type: Time Delay (seconds) or Wait for IO (sensor input)
3. Configure the wait condition
4. Click Add – the wait command appears in Program Tree

Python in Programs Pro

1. Click Add Python in the Program tab
2. Write your Python code in the dialog
3. Click Add – the Python block appears in Program Tree
4. Code executes when the program reaches this point

Post Process Pro

Export your program to robot-specific formats for industrial robots:

Editing Programs

Program editing controls in the ribbon

• Update: Select a target, move robot, click “Update Target”
• Delete: Right-click → Delete or press Delete
• Rename: Double-click to rename

Direct Control vs. Simulation

Direct control mode sends commands to the physical robot; Simulation mode runs in software only

Arctos Studio Pro can operate in two modes:

• Simulation: Robot movements are simulated in software only – safe for testing
• Direct Control (Digital Twin): Commands are sent to the physical robot in real-time

Running Programs

• Run Program: Click button or press R – executes on selected robot
• Run All Robots: Executes programs on ALL robots simultaneously
• Stop: Click button or press S – immediately halts execution

Custom Grippers

Load and configure custom gripper models for your robot.

Loading Grippers

Arctos Studio Pro supports custom gripper models in STL and URDF formats:

• STL: Static gripper meshes
• URDF: Articulated grippers with movable joints

From Library

Browse the built-in gripper library in Robot tab → Gripper Library. Click to load a gripper.

Custom Import

Import your own gripper models via File → Import Gripper.

Gripper Offsets

Configure the gripper’s position and rotation offset from the robot’s tool frame:

• Position offset: X, Y, Z translation in millimeters
• Rotation offset: Rx, Ry, Rz rotation in degrees

Gripper Commands

Coordinate Frames

Manage World, Tool, and custom coordinate frames for precise positioning.

Frame Types

World Frame

The global reference frame. All positions are ultimately relative to this frame.

Tool Frame

Attached to the robot’s end-effector. Moves with the robot and represents the tool center point (TCP). Can be used as a “7th axis” for extended reach.

Custom Frames

User-defined frames for workpieces, fixtures, or reference points. Can be:

• Static: Fixed in world space
• Robot-attached: Moves with the robot end-effector
• Parented: Relative to another frame

Frames Panel

Access the Coordinate Frames panel from Robot tab → Frames:

• Frame list: View all frames with visibility toggles
• Position/Rotation: Edit frame transform values
• Add/Delete: Create or remove custom frames

Tool Frame Configuration

Configure the tool frame offset to match your gripper or tool:

1. Select the Tool frame in the Frames panel
2. Adjust position offset (X, Y, Z in mm)
3. Adjust rotation offset (Rx, Ry, Rz in degrees)
4. The trajectory will now follow the tool tip instead of the flange

Real-time Collision Avoidance

Prevent your robot from colliding with objects in the scene.

Collision Check vs Prevention

How It Works

The collision avoidance system continuously monitors the robot’s position and planned movements:

• Bounding box detection: Checks robot links against object bounds
• Safety margins: Configurable clearance around objects (default 30mm)
• Self-collision: Prevents robot from hitting itself
• Path planning: RRT-based planning for collision-free paths

Enabling Collision Features

Collision Check (Visual)

1. Go to Modify tab
2. Click Collision Check toggle
3. Move the robot – colliding parts highlight in red

Collision Prevention (Active) Pro

1. Go to Modify tab
2. Click Collision Prevention toggle
3. The system now blocks movements that would cause collisions
4. Robot reverts to last safe position if collision detected

Kinect Integration Pro

When both Depth Camera and Collision Prevention are enabled, the robot will avoid real-world objects detected by the Kinect or RealSense camera:

1. Connect and enable Depth Camera (Robot tab → Depth Camera)
2. Enable Collision Prevention (Modify tab)
3. Point cloud data is used for collision detection
4. Robot avoids both virtual objects AND real-world obstacles

Settings

• Color mode: RGB color from camera or thermal visualization
• Downsampling: Reduce point count for better performance
• Collision detection: Enable to use point cloud for collision avoidance
• Update rate: How often the point cloud refreshes

Vision Language Model (VLM)

Control your robot with natural language commands using vision AI.

What is VLM?

Vision Language Models combine image understanding with natural language processing. Give commands like:

• “Pick up the red ball”
• “Move the blue box to the left”
• “Stack the cylinders”
• “Sort the objects by color”

The VLM analyzes the camera image, identifies the target object, and generates robot commands automatically.

Setup Requirements

1. Gemini API Key: Go to Settings tab → AI Settings → Enter your Gemini API key
2. Camera: Connect a camera via Robot tab → Camera
3. Depth Camera (recommended): For accurate 3D positioning

Using the VLM Panel

Access from Robot tab → VLM Control:

1. Ensure camera is connected and showing live feed
2. Type your command in the input field
3. Press Enter or click “Execute”
4. Watch the execution status as VLM processes

How It Works

Tips for Best Results

• Good lighting: Ensure objects are well-lit and clearly visible
• Distinctive objects: Use objects with clear colors and shapes
• Specific commands: Be clear about which object and what action
• Camera angle: Position camera to see all objects clearly
