Introductions

The Collaborative Robot Software Development Kit (SDK) is a comprehensive toolkit designed for developers and system integrators to efficiently build applications for collaborative robots. The SDK enables seamless control of robots, task orchestration, sensor integration, and interaction with other devices or systems.

JAKA SDK (Software Development Kit) defines a comprehensive set of APIs to facilitate interaction and control of the robot, and it provides one way for customers to develop their own applications to conncect with JAKA robot controller.

JAKA API communicates with the robot based on the network communication protocol TCP/IP, and now is available in C/C++, C# and Python language.

About the Manual

We expect the readers of this document have the following background.

• Readers are familiar with JAKA robot and have a basic understanding of robot control.
• Readers are used to C/C++ programming language on the target operating system (Linux, Windows or etc.).

Precautions

• The unit of length in the interface is unified as millimeter (mm), and the unit of angle is unified as radian (rad).
• Version number interrogate method: right click the dll file in windows, select properties, and you can see the version information in the “Details” tab. Enter the Command in Linux “strings libjakeAPI.so | grep jakaAPI version” to interrogate the version number.
• The SDK encoding method used by JAKA is UTF-8 encoding.
• Do not use joint_move, linear_move under servo mode.
