Getting Started with the IDE

For for a full description of the MOV.AI Flow™ IDE, see Introducing the MOV.AI Flow™ IDE.

Briefly, the IDE displays a left pane where you can explore and edit several existing Nodes and Flows. On the top bar, the IDE shows the list of tabs currently opened. The "Get Started tab is open by default the first time you use MOV.AI Flow.

The Get Started tab shows a pane with relevant links, and the list of recently opened documents.
On the right, is an Examples pane containing a box for each ready-made project-demonstration of MOV.AI Flow, which you can open, investigate and use as the basis of your projects.

These examples operate in a warehouse environment. Each flow builds upon the previous one in order to demonstrate how a complete implementation can be created on any robot of your choice. Each demonstration describes how to play (run) it in the simulated environment provided by MOV.AI, as well as to open each flow and view/modify its definitions. You can also use the flows provided here as the basis for your own project or change them to suit any robot that you are developing in the virtual or the real world.
