In this video, you will learn how to build your 6-axis collaborative robot from scratch using RoboDK.
You will only need to have the 3D model and the datasheet of the robot.
This will allow you to manually add almost any robot to your simulation if you don’t find it by default in RoboDK’s robot library.
