RoboDK API for .NET

With the RoboDK API for .NET you can simulate and program any industrial robot using C# or Visual Basic. The RoboDK API allows you to program industrial robots without learning vendor-specific programming languages.

Requirements

Example

The following script shows an example that uses the RoboDK package for robot simulation and offline programming::

// retrieve the reference frame and the tool frame (TCP) Mat frame = ROBOT.PoseFrame(); Mat tool = ROBOT.PoseTool(); int runmode = RDK.RunMode(); // retrieve the run mode // Program start ROBOT.MoveJ(pose_ref); ROBOT.setPoseFrame(frame); // set the reference frame ROBOT.setPoseTool(tool); // set the tool frame: important for Online Programming ROBOT.setSpeed(100); // Set Speed to 100 mm/s ROBOT.setZoneData(5); // set the rounding instruction (C_DIS & APO_DIS / CNT / ZoneData / Blend Radius / ...) ROBOT.RunInstruction("CallOnStart"); for (int i = 0; i <= n_sides; i++) { double angle = ((double) i / n_sides) * 2.0 * Math.PI; Mat pose_i = pose_ref * Mat.rotz(angle) * Mat.transl(100, 0, 0) * Mat.rotz(-angle); ROBOT.RunInstruction("Moving to point " + i.ToString(), RoboDK.INSTRUCTION_COMMENT); double[] xyzwpr = pose_i.ToXYZRPW(); ROBOT.MoveL(pose_i); } ROBOT.RunInstruction("CallOnFinish"); ROBOT.MoveL(pose_ref);

The same script used for simulation can be used for offline programming, which means that the appropriate program can be generated for the robot being used. RoboDK supports a large number of robot controllers and it is easy to include compatibility for new robot controllers using Post Processors.

Other

A partial implementation of the RoboDK API for Visual Basic is also available, however, it is recommended to use the Nuget package in Visual Basic:

The RoboDK API is also available in Python, C++ (based on Qt libraries) and Matlab
