Robot Arm

The Robot Arm example demonstrates adding a C++ backend to a 3D project created in Qt Design Studio. The example consists of an interactive industrial robot arm in a Qt Quick 3D scene. Qt Quick Controls implements the 2D UI to control the robot arm.

Running the Example

You can run the example from:

• Qt Creator

  Open the Welcome mode and select the example from Examples. For more information, see Qt Creator: Tutorial: Build and run.

• Qt Extension for Visual Studio Code

  Run the Qt: Open Qt examples command from the Command Palette, and select the example from the list. For more information, see Qt Extension for Visual Studio Code: Tutorial: Build and run.

For Qt Design Studio, the Robot Arm example comes with a QML module in backend_moc/Backend/Backend_moc.qml that serves as a backend for the project. The C++ application implements a compatible backend QML module. Both QML modules implement the same API, which ensures compatibility between the two modules.

content/RoboticArm.ui.qml defines the Qt Quick 3D scene. content/MainScreen.ui.qml implements the 2D UI and supports a light and dark theme. The example uses the Material style from Qt Quick Controls and the dark and light theme to implement both modes.
