Robotstudio - ABB OmniCore S Series Operating Manual

1.4 RobotStudio

Overview of RobotStudio
RobotStudio is an engineering tool for the configuration and programming of ABB
robots, both real robots on the shop floor and virtual robots in a PC. To achieve
true offline programming, RobotStudio utilizes ABB VirtualRobot™ Technology.
RobotStudio has adopted the Microsoft Office Fluent User Interface. The Office
Fluent UI is also used in Microsoft Office. As in Office, the features of RobotStudio
are designed in a workflow-oriented way.
With add-ins, RobotStudio can be extended and customized to suit the specific
needs. Add-ins are developed using the RobotStudio SDK. With the SDK, it is also
possible to develop custom SmartComponents which exceed the functionality
provided by RobotStudio's base components.
