New robots can be added to your project from your PC or from RoboDK’s online library.

Follow these steps to choose a robot from the online library:

1.Select File➔ Open Robot Library (Ctrl+Shift+O). A new website should open showing the online library. You can also open the library by selecting the corresponding button in the toolbar.

1.Use the filters to find your robot by brand, payload, etc. In this example, we’ll use a Universal Robots UR10 robot (10 kg payload robot and 1.3 m reach).

2.Select Open and the robot should automatically appear in the station in a few seconds. Alternatively, you can download the robot file and open it in RoboDK by drag and dropping the file into the window.

3.The online library can be closed once you loaded your robot.

Tip: Select Clear filter or Clear all in the online library to remove any filters you used. Learn more about the Library in the RoboDK Library section.

Tip: Alternatively, it is also possible to download the robot files (.robot extension) separately, from the website: https://robodk.com/library and open them in RoboDK by drag & dropping the file to the main window or by selecting File➔Open.

Note: Every time a new robot is loaded in RoboDK, a new reference frame is added representing the robot base frame.

Note: Loading robots or any other examples from the library will store them in your Documents folder (C:/Users/Your Name/Documents/RoboDK). Generated programs are also stored in this folder by default.

The default location of this example project is: C:/RoboDK/Library/Tutorial-UR-Painting.rdk.
