Our latest update is here, just in time for GTC!

What's new?

What's better?

• If you add a robot in the settings, it will be displayed in Robot Pad's motion group dropdown list without manually refreshing the page.
• If you delete a robot in the settings that was selected as motion group in the Robot Pad, Robot Pad will then display the next motion group. If all robots are deleted, Robot Pad will display the "Add a robot" screen.

Bug fixes

• tcp_pose() now returns the correct pose again.
• When updating to a new NOVA version, faulty display of error messages was fixed. Also, a progress indicator is now displayed.
• Upon restart of the NOVA instance, virtual FANUC controllers now keep their configured TCPs, coordinate systems and mountings.
• Safety limits are now always active for Yaskawa robots, preventing execution stops.
• Apps that are not started upon first boot are now restarted by Kubernetes automatically.
• Typo fixed for the KUKA KR 150 2 was corrected and is now KR 150 R2.

Documentation

• Restructured the setup NOVA portion of the documentation to make it easier to find the information you need.
• Added autocompletion command for the Wandelbots NOVA CLI tool to the CLI instructions.
• Added explanations on path planning methods supported by Wandelbots NOVA.
• Added Collider, Collision-free motion and Collision scene to the glossary.
