Abstract :
This work describes an experiment included in a virtual lab developed for teaching industrial robotics programming. The virtual lab is implemented with an industrial simulation software package - RobotStudio. The use of this software provides multiple functionalities blending theoretical contents with the implementation aspects of industrial robots. The experiment allows testing basic concepts in robot programming such as using different coordinate systems, targets, paths, and motion parameters.
