MOVE_JOINT
The MOVE_JOINT node linearly moves the robot's tool to an absolute Cartesian position.Inputs
------
ip_address: TextBlob
The IP address of the robot arm.
Parameters
------
x : float
The x coordinate of the position to move to
y : float
The y coordinate of the position to move to
z : float
The z coordinate of the position to move to
alpha : float, optional
The alpha coordinate (rotation in radians about the x axis) of the position to move to.
beta : float, optional
The beta coordinate (rotation in radians about the y axis) of the position to move to.
gamma : float, optional
The gamma coordinate (rotation in radians about the z axis) of the position to move to.Params:Returns:out : ip_addressThe IP address of the robot arm.

In this example, the MOVE_JOINT
node moves the robot arm to a specified Cartesian position.
The node takes in the x, y, and z coordinates, along with optional alpha, beta, and gamma rotations in radians.
After initiating the movement, the node waits for the robot arm to become idle, indicating that the movement is complete.
The MOVE_JOINT
node is commonly used in workflows where precise positioning of the robot arm is required, such as picking up an object or performing a specific task.
