About gRPC

//ParametricRobotControlService provides an interface for simulating/controlling supported robots through GRPC.
service ParametricRobotControlService {
 //Step 1: Setup the simulation/control environment.
  rpc SetupRobot (SetupRobotRequest) returns (SetupRobotReply);
  //Step 2: Define a task to be processed or simulated.
  rpc AddRobotTask (AddRobotTaskRequest) returns (AddRobotTaskReply);
  //Step 3: Subscribe to the feedback coming from the simulation/control environment.
  rpc SubscribeRobotFeedback (SubscribeRobotFeedbackRequest) returns (stream RobotFeedback);
  //Step 4: Request a simulation update, to be either provided directly or written to the feedback stream.
  //The omit_variables request flag skips the global variable map in the reply (which otherwise
  //carries every connected robot's variables), keeping state polls small for visualization-only clients.
  rpc GetSimulatedRobotState (GetSimulatedRobotStateRequest) returns (RobotState);
  //Optional: Set a variable on the robot. Always returns the current variables of all connected robots.
  rpc UpdateVariable (UpdateVariableRequest) returns (UpdateVariableReply);
  //Optional: Retrieve the resolved robot definition plus its live state (settings,
  //variables, axis position, tool/flange frames, visualization transformations) for
  //any robot that has already been set up. With exclude_geometry, the reply is cheap
  //enough for high-frequency polling (30-60 Hz), e.g. for machine monitoring.
  rpc GetRobotData (GetRobotDataRequest) returns (GetRobotDataReply);
  //Optional: Ping the controller.
  rpc SendPing (Ping) returns (Ping);
  //Optional: Describe what this PRC installation can set up — every preset robot,
  //every driver with its settings schema and every preset external axis — so a
  //client can offer a robot setup wizard without a copy of the library.
  rpc DescribeLibrary (DescribeLibraryRequest) returns (DescribeLibraryReply);
