How to simulate robots

This section covers how to import robots from the robot library, how to connect to real robot controllers, how to use the generic robot controller to simulate without the need of the real controller and how to create a own generic robot controller model.

Import robots from the robot library

This video shows how to import ready-made robot models from the library and use them in twin.

Controlling imported robots with the generic robot controller

These videos explain how imported robots from the twin robot library can be controlled using the generic robot controller.
They cover teaching robot positions, creating sequences with pre-taught jobs, and using reference frames to build flexible and robust robot programs.

1. Teaching robot positions

This video demonstrates how to teach robot positions using the generic robot controller. You'll learn how to jog the robot in different coordinate systems, create point-to-point and linear motions, and teach pick-and-place positions to reliably move a box onto a pallet.

2. Creating sequences with robot jobs

This video demonstrates how to create motion sequences using the Sequence component and pre-taught robot jobs from the generic robot controller.

3. Using reference frames for robot jobs

This video demonstrates how reference frames can be used in robot jobs to avoid re-teaching positions when layouts change. You'll see how positions, offsets, and sequences behave consistently by referencing 3D objects instead of the robot base coordinate system.

Connect to MotoSim from Yaskawa

This video shows how to connect twin to the MotoSim of Yaskawa in order to control the robot using the emulated controller.

Connect to URSim from Universal Robots

This video shows how to connect twin to the URSim of Universal Robots in order to control the robot using the emulated controller.
