Data

Snapshot

This endpoint is used to get a snapshot of the Robot's state. Use this method to get the current state, but consider using the streaming mechanism instead of polling this endpoint for updates.

The snapshot is divided into different properties, here is the list of its content:

  • collision_detection:
    • enabled: a boolean indicating if collision detection is enabled.
    • sensitivity: a string describing the sensitivity of the Robot to collisions. Can be one of: low, medium, high where higher sensitivity means the Robot is stopped by lower impact collisions.
  • control: the control state of robot
    • state: a string describing the state of the Robot, can be either ready, error, running, paused, stopping, backdriving, updating, disabled, shutting_down or collision (see this section for more information about control states)

Stream

A stream of events is available in the form of a Websocket connection.

As for any Websocket connection, it requires the standard headers (i.e. Upgrade, Sec-Websocket-Key, Sec-Websocket-Version and Sec-Websocket-Protocol). Most of them are managed by your browser or Websocket library (depending on your environment), however you need to specify Sec-Websocket-Protocol manually.

The Sec-Websocket-Protocol should be a list of two protocols containing your Session token prefixed by SessionToken_ and object.

Request

GET /api/v1/data/stream
Host: eva.automata
Accept: */*
Upgrade: websocket
Connection: Upgrade
Sec-WebSocket-Key: SGVsbG8sIHdvcmxkIQ==
Sec-WebSocket-Version: 13
Sec-Websocket-Protocol: SessionToken_<session-token>, object

where <session-token> is your session token.

Payload

NONE
