#### Start the robot driver
#### Quick start
Once the driver is built and the **externalcontrol** URCap is installed on the robot, you are good
to go ahead starting the driver. (**Note**: We do recommend, though, to calibrate your robot first.)
To actually start the robot driver use one of the existing launchfiles
$ roslaunch ur_rtde_driver <robot_type>_bringup.launch robot_ip:=192.168.56.101 \
where **<robot_type>** is one of *ur3, ur5, ur10, ur3e, ur5e, ur10e*. Note that in this example we
load the calibration parameters for the robot "ur10_example".
If you calibrated your robot before, pass that calibration to the launch file:
$ roslaunch ur_rtde_driver <robot_type>_bringup.launch robot_ip:=192.168.56.101 \
kinematics_config:=$(rospack find ur_calibration)/etc/ur10_example_calibration.yaml
where **<robot_type>** is one of *ur3, ur5, ur10, ur3e, ur5e, ur10e*. Note that in this example we
load the calibration parameters for the robot "ur10_example". If the parameters in that file don't
match the ones reported from the robot, the driver will output an error during startup.
If the parameters in that file don't match the ones reported from the robot, the driver will output
an error during startup, but will remain usable.
For more information on the launchfile's parameters see its own documentation.

#### Use the action server
After starting up the robot as described in the last section a scaled position based trajectory
