Hello,

I was wondering what were the various solutions to program the cobot from my computer, preferably by using the URSIM. To use URScript seems a bit overkill for me, so I would like to use the GUI from the simulator.  
One problem that I have with the simulator is that I can’t add a hand effector, the cobot does not have any tool.

One of the possible things to do is to transfert program to the cobot with a USB key, is there any others ?

Thanks !

You can also use FileZilla or any SFTP client to transfer files between URSim and the robot
