3. Install the latest rria-api package with pip:

   pip install rria-api
   

Example

from rria_api import RobotObject, RobotEnum

# Create gen3 RobotObject
gen3_lite = RobotObject('192.168.2.10', RobotEnum.GEN3_LITE)

# Create Niryo NED RobotObject
ned = RobotObject('169.254.200.200', RobotEnum.NED)

gen3_lite.connect_robot()
ned.connect_robot()

gen3_lite.move_joints(30.0, 30.0, 30.0, 30.0, 30.0, 30.0)
ned.move_joints(30.0, 30.0, 30.0, 30.0, 30.0, 30.0)

gen3_lite.get_joints()
ned.get_joints()

gen3_lite.close_gripper()
ned.close_gripper()

gen3_lite.open_gripper()
ned.open_gripper()

gen3_lite.move_to_home()
ned.move_to_home()

gen3_lite.safe_disconnect()
ned.safe_disconnect()
