Grasshopper plugin · v0.2.9.0 · updated

Plan robot motion in Grasshopper from any URDF — one toolkit instead of a plugin per brand. Load a robot and drag its joints. See where it can reach. Slice a shape into a toolpath, flat layers or curved, decide which way the tool should point, and solve the motion. Check for collisions before anything moves. Find where to put the workpiece so the whole path is reachable. Output is frames and joint angles. Industrial arms need your own postprocessor to turn those into KRL or URScript; direct control is over serial, for Feetech and ESP32 arms. Ships with UR5, KUKA KR10 and SO-101, and includes a hardware-calibrated joint mapping for the SO-101. Tested end to end on SO-ARM 101 and RoArm M2.
