REST based interface for ABB #178

Closed johnwason closed 3 years ago

Greetings

A while ago I developed a Python interface for an ABB that used the built in REST interface instead of running a socket server on the robot itself. It worked by modifying persistent variables, and was able to enter and exit EGM mode. It has a ROS interface for trajectory and other operations. I haven't tested it on the newer versions of the robot, but I'll point it out since it may be useful.

Thanks for making this available @johnwason.

In the meantime ABB has released abb_robot_driver which comes with a similar node. It also uses RWS and EGM.

As this is not an issue with the packages in this repository, I'm going to close it.
