Studio Live¶

class Studio¶

Helper class to connect and visualize trajectories and events in Jacobi Studio.

The Studio class provides functionality to connect to Jacobi Studio via a WebSocket, and to visualize trajectories and events. It manages the connection, handles incoming and outgoing messages, and allows the user to create and execute actions within Jacobi Studio.

class Action¶

An action that can be performed in Jacobi Studio.

The Action class represents an action in Jacobi Studio, such as setting a robot’s joint position, adding an obstacle, or manipulating the environment. An action can contain multiple commands, allowing for complex interactions in Studio.

struct Events : public std::multimap<double, Action>¶

A container that maps a specific timing to one or multiple actions. The static methods of this class do not change the visualization in Jacobi Studio immediately, but only return an action that can be executed later (e.g. alongside a trajectory).

The Events struct allows for scheduling actions in Jacobi Studio at specific times. Static methods are provided to create various actions, which can be executed later.
