Overview


This tutorial shows how to manipulate Sawyer in Zero-G mode with the arm motion constrained to a plane, translational axis, rotational axis, or the nullspace.

Prerequisites


Moving the Robot in Constrained Zero-G Mode


  • To enter Constrained Zero-G mode press the “X” button.

  • Use the navigator button to scroll to the selected constrained mode (Z AXIS, XY PLANE, Z ROTATION, XYZ ROTATION or ELBOW), and then press it. The selected constrained mode will change to orange and the lock will change to unlock symbol to let you know that the motion is available. Now you can move the arm only in the selected constrained mode.

  • Entering Zero-G mode while using Constrained Zero-G mode will cancel any constraint.
