Fanuc support #5

Open apvlv opened 5 years ago

apvlv commented 5 years ago

Hello Evan, hello Shrinath,

thank you for this very interesting project. Are there plans to support Fanuc robots (LRMate / Arcmate)?

evanatherton commented 5 years ago

In the fullness of time: yes; however, the biggest challenges is finding time between projects.

On that note, "support" is actually split into two categories: Animation support, and postprocessor support. Animation support is something I intend to add for FANUC. That would enable you to animate in Maya with a FANUC robot, as you would any other robot supported by Mimic.

Postprocessor support, however, would be up to our users to generate as we don't have FANUCs in our lab. The postprocessor module is well-documented, and one of our other postprocessors can serve as a template

Just a note, we've added animation support for FANUC, which is available on the master branch, and will be included in the next release.

For specific FANUC models, send a rigging request on the Slack group, or to mimic@autodesk.com
