KORD - Kassow Open Realtime Data
KORD API (Kassow Open Realtime Data) is a C++ library that provides external systems with real-time access to Kassow Robots’ 7-axis cobots. It enables developers to send precise motion commands, monitor robot states, and manage I/O and safety protocols beyond the native controller interface. The API supports frame and load management, custom end-effector control, and integration with automation frameworks. By exposing real-time robot data and control capabilities, KORD API allows for sensor-driven applications, multi-robot coordination & synchronization, offline planning with online execution, and flexible integration of cobots into broader industrial or research workflows.
Real-Time Communication:
Low-latency data exchange for motion commands, state monitoring, I/O operations, and diagnostics, enabling responsive external control.
Advanced Motion Control:
Execute discrete joint and linear movements, configure frames and loads (e.g., TCP and CoG), and plan trajectories with precision while minimizing computational load on the external system.
I/O Management & Safety Integration:
Control peripheral devices and sensors through digital inputs/outputs; manage hardware flags, button inputs, and built-in collaborative safety protocols.
Multi-Robot Synchronization:
Coordinate multiple Kassow cobots seamlessly for collaborative tasks, supporting networked setups and synchronized operation.
Configuration Management:
Dedicated KORD configuration file for customizing robot behavior, logging, API parameters, and operational settings.
Extensibility & Ecosystem Integration:
Open-source C++ library compatible with ROS/ROS2 and other external protocols, supporting custom workflows, sensor-driven automation, and advanced research or industrial applications.
File Transfer & Diagnostics:
Transfer files between external systems and robot controllers; monitor component versions, robot status, and error states for effective maintenance and troubleshooting.
Comprehensive Documentation & Examples:
Detailed guides and sample code covering motion, I/O, safety, frame/load management, multi-robot coordination, and common workflows for rapid development.
