I am considering real-time robot control using a camera with the Python API. 
Is there a way to change the target during robot movement using MoveL(target, block=False)?
Currently, Robot is repeating movement and stop actions because the next action starts after MoveL is completed.
Please let me know if there is a way to achieve smooth motion.

To make the robot move to new targets it is better to create a new target and a new program that moves to the position you want to move to. When the program completes you can delete the target and/or the program.

You should also be able to move the robot directly to a given pose without having to create a program.

Thank you for your response.
First I want to be able to move on the x, y axis while I press the arrows on my keyboard.
To achieve this, do I create a new target and move program and repeat running this program?

Please let me know if you have a minimum program that can be used as a reference.

Thanks

You can find an example on how to control a robot using a keyboard in our Python documentation:
https://robodk.com/doc/en/PythonAPI/exam...a-keyboard

We also have a Game Controller App to control a robot using a game pad, and the code is open source in our GitHub:

Thank you for providing so much information.

I immediately tried a sample program using keyboard operations.
(https://robodk.com/doc/en/PythonAPI/exam...a-keyboard)

But the robot moves and stops repeatedly when I press and hold the keyboard.
How can I achieve smooth movement?

I have attached the code, so please let me know if there are any mistakes.

[Sam]

The examples are incremental, meaning that the robot will move one step at a time. You will have to edit the code to have smooth movements.

[TToyoda]

thank you for your reply.
I tried setRounding, but it keeps moving and stopping.
How should I fix it?

[Sam]

You will have to refactor much of the code itself, as the code provided only supports small step increments.
