Initialize the robot to its initial position before starting the teleoperation.

Initialize Robot

Teleoperation Control

High frequency control of the robot arm via WebSocket connection for real-time updates and commands.

Teleoperation Control (WebSocket)

Move the robot to an absolute position specified by the end-effector (in centimeters and degrees). Make sure to call `/move/init` before using this endpoint.

Move to Absolute Position

Move the robot to a relative position based on received delta values (in centimeters and degrees).

Move to Relative Position

Use the leader arm to control the follower arm.

Stop the leader-follower control

Retrieve the position, orientation, and open status of the robot's end effector. Only available for manipulators.

Read End-Effector Position

Read the current torque of the robot's joints.

Read Torque

Enable or disable the torque of the robot.

Toggle Torque

Read the current positions of the robot's joints in radians and motor units.

Read Joint Positions

Move the robot's joints to the specified angles.

Write Joint Positions
