    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.

    Use this link Project Files to download the responsible data used in the video instructions for demonstration.

    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

    This video demonstrates how imported robots from the twin robot library can be controlled using the generic twin robot controller. It also shows how quickly a sequence can be programmed graphically.

    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.
