ACCESS YOUR COBOT REMOTELY

I find it a very useful tool for programming and controlling Universal Robots collaborative robots. I use it in my robotics courses, as well as with students working on their Bachelor’s and Master’s degree projects.

Ángel Valera FernándezFull Professor | Universitat Politècnica de València

NUTAI CobotVNC software has made a very positive impression on us. We tested it on one of the robots on our production line, and it worked exactly as expected. It allows us to manage the robot remotely and access its files without having to be physically present.
