AR4 6DOF Robot Kit Programming Guide Tutorial - Jogging, Grippers, Vision, Gcode & More.

This all-in-one tutorial compiles years of programming knowledge into a single, comprehensive guide. Whether you're a beginner commissioning your robot or an advanced user implementing complex tasks, this video will help answer your answers. In this tutorial, we cover everything from basic jogging and program creation to advanced topics like stacking with position registers, integrating pneumatic/servo grippers, adding external axis, and machine vision for automated pick-and-place. All demonstrations use the official AR4 software.
