At ABB, we understand that different users have different programming needs, which is why we provide a range of tools to suit everyone—from beginners to advanced professionals.
If you’re just starting, Wizard Easy Programming offers an intuitive drag-and-drop interface that makes robot programming accessible to all. You don’t need any coding knowledge to get your robot moving and performing simple tasks. However, for those who require more advanced functionality, Wizard allows for expert-level customization as well, with seamless transitions into RAPID code for more complex tasks.
For professionals, RAPID programming gives you complete control over your robot’s movements and processes, allowing you to optimize performance with detailed scripts. RAPID is ABB's proprietary language designed for industrial-grade precision and is ideal for advanced users looking to fine-tune their robotic systems.
And for those designing complex workflows, RobotStudio offers a 3D virtual environment where you can simulate and test your robotic systems with a virtual twin before deploying them in real life. Whether you’re automatically creating collision free optimal pathes, creating movements along 3D object or setting up entire animated production lines, RobotStudio ensures that what works virtually will perform the same in reality.
For those with specialized requirements, ABB robots can also be programmed using Externally Guided Motion (EGM), offering more flexibility in control. EGM allows real-time control of robots by streaming position data from an external controller, perfect for companies with their own motion systems or for applications requiring high precision. 3rd party ROS interfaces (Robot Operating System) ideal for students, startups or researchers who are already using this open-source platform to control their robots, complete the broad opportunities.
No matter your level of expertise, ABB’s tools ensure that programming a robot is a streamlined and efficient process—helping you get the most out of your automation system.
