motion_with_control.cpp

An example showing how to use a joint velocity motion generator and torque control.

An example showing how to use a joint velocity motion generator and torque control.Additionally, this example shows how to capture and write logs in case an exception is thrown during a motion.

Warning

Before executing this example, make sure there is enough space in front of the robot.
