Is it possible to control soft robot by just inputting xy coordinates?

[sorowell]

Hi, I'm almost new and I've been trying to search about a situation that I'm facing nowadays.

I want my soft robot to move for and backward, and right and left from its location right there by inputting x,y value through Labview interface.

The principle of the soft robot is using pneumatic channel controlled by solenoid valves and air pump, which makes volume difference to move soft robot .

It would be controlled by Arduino.

I've searched about it for a days, but I've not able to find it.

So, what I want is..

Run Labview => pop up how (x,y) do I want to input -> Robot move to that location.

May I know about it please..??

Thank you!

This is not really a LabVIEW question.

Have you solved all the math to calculate the best path and how the valves need to be actuated (Inverse kinematics, etc.). How does the bot know where it is?
