Manipulation with UBR-1

UBR-1 comes with higher level robot functions which can be used as building blocks when creating your robot application. One of these building blocks is MoveIt! which allows high level control of the arm.

Internally MoveIt comprises many modules offering everything from kinematics and planning to plan execution and some perception.
