Getting started

This section explains how to prepare the environment, connect to the controller, install the project, and start controlling the robot.

Quick start

1. Sunrise Workbench setup — prepare the KUKA controller, upload ServerFriRos2, and configure the network. (Physical robot only.)
2. Connect to the server — choose local or remote deployment and connect to the control server over SSH.
3. Install the project — install LWC using curl, git, or manually.
4. Configure the system — configure cobot-setting.yaml with the robot IP, ports, and tools.
5. cobot CLI — learn the commands for running, building, and updating the project.

Simulation only?

Skip the physical-controller setup and run cobot run --simulate after installation.
