A way to move a robot without worrying about the orientation of the tool

Is there a move command that lets me move the robot only based on a given position and doesn't need the orientation of the tool to be specified?

  • MoveAbsJ.  It tells the robot to go to absolute joint angles specified by a jointtarget.

  • MoveAbsJ won't work as I have a position, but not the joint angles.
  • Hello,
    You can force orient data of your robtarget.
