Basics of Robot Programming

Programming a robot is usually a key task in simulation not only for creating factory simulations but for testing robots.

With Visual Components, you can manually create statements that define the actions and logic of a robot program. The robot routine and subroutines can easily be visualized and modified.

At the end of this course, you will get familiar with the statements and routines behind a robot program. You will also learn how to connect external axes to a robot and how to utilize loops in your robot routine.

TOPIC: ROBOT SIMULATION
Duration: 1-2 hours

Requirements:

This course is recommended for people interested in robot programing without scripting. You can complete the course using Visual Components Essentials, Professional or Premium.
