FCI License

The Franka Controller Interface (FCI) allows a fast and direct low level bi-directional connection to the robot arm and head. It provides the current status of the robot and enables its direct control with an external workstation PC connected via ethernet.

Users can get access to:

  • Gravity & friction compensated joint level torque commands.
  • Joint position or velocity commands.
  • Cartesian pose or velocity commands.

At the same time, you get access to 1 kHz measurements of:

  • Measured joint data, such as the position, velocity and link side torque sensor signals.
  • Estimation of externally applied torques and wrenches.
  • Various collision and contact information.

You get also access robot model library which provides:

  • Forward kinematics of all robot joints.
  • Jacobian matrix of all robot joints.
  • Dynamics: inertia matrix, Coriolis and centrifugal vector and gravity vector
Example of FCI Architecture
