Universal Robots Simulator
Universal Robots Simulator is a software tool developed by Universal Robots for simulating and programming their collaborative robot arms (cobots) in a virtual environment. It allows users to create, test, and optimize robot programs offline without needing physical hardware, reducing setup time and risk. The simulator replicates the real robot's kinematics, dynamics, and behavior, enabling validation of tasks like pick-and-place, assembly, and machine tending.
Developers should use this simulator when designing or deploying automation solutions with Universal Robots cobots, as it enables safe and efficient program development, debugging, and training. It is particularly valuable in industries like manufacturing, logistics, and research where minimizing downtime and ensuring safety are critical, allowing for pre-deployment testing of complex workflows.
