Robots is a plugin for Rhino 8 and the Grasshopper visual programming interface, with a .NET API for use in custom applications and automation. It lets users create, check, simulate, and save manufacturer-specific robot programs.

Supported manufacturers include ABB, KUKA, UR, Staubli, Franka Emika, Doosan, Fanuc, Igus, and Jaka. Robots can load robot systems, tools, frames, and meshes from XML/3DM libraries, use custom post-processors, and generate manufacturer-specific robot code.

If upgrading from an old version check here.

1. Install in Rhino 8 for Windows or macOS using the _PackageManager command, search for Robots.
2. Restart Rhino and open Grasshopper. There should be a new tab in Grasshopper named Robots.
3. Install a robot library by clicking on the Libraries button of a Load robot system component.

   The robots from the library should appear in a value list connected to a Load robot system component.

4. Read the docs for more info.
5. Check the samples.

   When opening a sample file, a dialog box might pop up with an assembly not found message. You can close this without fixing the path, it will automatically get fixed after the sample file is loaded.
