[Solution] Call a robotic application from a background application - Sunrise

    Hi,


    I would like to run as background application a socket client and once a certain command is received it should start a Sunrise application. The idea is that I will be able to launch several of these applications according to the input that I read through the socket communication.


    As of now I did developed a normal application that starts the socket as a thread and then upon the received command it will start/pause or stop a certain function that contains a motion command. However, if the motion command starts to be more complex I should move to an implementation as described above.


    What do you think? Is that possible with Kuka Sunrise? If yes what do you suggest to do?


    Sunrise version: 1.14.1.15
    WoV version: 5.0.2


    Best regards,


    Matteo

    You could run the socket listener in the main application (the one that is started from the smart pad) and when new commands are received you start different programs/classes. Remember that your application class that extends the RoboticsAPIApplication is just a Java class, all methods available in the context of the RoboticsAPIApplication can be imported manually in any other class.


    So the best way to do this is to create a class for each of your advanced sequence of motions and then simply pick whatever class you want when you receive a new command.
