# FANUC RMI Mock: reconstructing a controller server

> FANUC RMI Mock reconstructs the server side of the Remote Motion Interface from fanuc_ucl's published client models. Its Python TCP server handles the connection handshake and motion-command stream, forwarding joint setpoints to a simulated Moveo arm or optional robot bridges.

## Requirements & limits

- **Prerequisites:** Use fanuc_ucl as the client library; matplotlib is optional for visualization.
- **Prerequisites:** Physical-arm bridges require the corresponding Moveo or ROS 2 setup.
- **Limits:** The author says the pi and ros2 bridges have not been run against hardware from this repository; Cartesian-target motions are acknowledged without movement.
- **License:** MIT License.
