Move a resource to a new location.

Examples

Move a plate to a new location:

>>> lh.move_resource(plate, to=Coordinate(100, 100, 100))
Parameters:

  • resource (Resource) – The Resource object.

  • to (Coordinate) – The absolute coordinate (meaning relative to deck) to move the resource to.

  • intermediate_locations (Optional[List[Coordinate]]) – A list of intermediate locations to move the resource through.

  • resource_offset (Coordinate) – The offset from the resource’s origin, optional (rarely necessary).

  • destination_offset (Coordinate) – The offset from the location’s origin, optional (rarely necessary).

  • pickup_distance_from_top (float) – The distance from the top of the resource to pick up from.

  • get_direction (GripDirection) – The direction from which to pick up the resource.

  • put_direction (GripDirection) – The direction from which to put down the resource.
