# grid-types

> The shared value types of the GRID platform

The shared value types of the GRID platform — poses, velocities, images, point clouds — accepted and returned by the robot, simulation, and model clients.

## Install

```bash theme={null}
# Preinstalled in every GRID session workspace. For local use, install
# from the GRID package index with your organization's read-only
# credentials (the same pair `grid robot setup` provisions on robots):
export UV_INDEX_GRID_PYPI_USERNAME=<username>
export UV_INDEX_GRID_PYPI_PASSWORD=<token>
uv pip install grid-types --index grid-pypi=https://pypi.generalrobotics.dev/simple/
```

## Quickstart

```python theme={null}
from grid_types import Velocity

linear = Velocity(0.5, 0.0, 0.0)
angular = Velocity(0.0, 0.0, 0.4)
```

These types appear throughout **grid-nexus-client** robot commands and **grid-cortex-client** model inputs/outputs.
