ABB Robot Programming with RobotStudio and RAPID
RobotStudio from install to a running pick-and-place: stations, jogging, the FlexPendant, frames, paths, RAPID, collision checking, signals, physics, sharing and RobotStudio Cloud.
What you will learn
Install RobotStudio and build a station, jog and use the virtual FlexPendant, define tool and work-object frames, attach grippers, create paths and targets, write RAPID for motion and pick-and-place, check collisions, simulate signals and physics, share stations and collaborate in RobotStudio Cloud, and explain inverse kinematics.
- Build a station with a robot and a virtual controller
- Jog with the mouse and the virtual FlexPendant in every motion mode
- Define tooldata and wobjdata and know why the program follows the frame
- Attach a gripper, create targets and paths, check reachability
- Write RAPID: MoveJ, MoveL, zones, speeds, signals, Offs, loops and procedures
- Set up collision checking and fix a path until it runs clean
- Simulate signals, events, physics and mechanisms
- Share stations with Pack and Go and collaborate in RobotStudio Cloud

Stuck? Ask a practising engineer
A free course usually means a comment section and hope. This one does not. Every module has an Ask-your-trainer panel that reaches the same engineers who teach our paid programme: people who commission panels for a living, not moderators.
- Questions answered in the context of the module you are on
- The same engineers who teach the AEP programme
- Career tools, CV help and public job listings included
- Your progress and notes stay in your account for good

Common questions
Is RobotStudio free?
ABB gives a full-featured trial and, after it, a free basic mode that still runs the virtual controller. Every exercise here fits inside it.
Do I need an ABB robot?
No. The virtual controller and FlexPendant behave like the real ones; a program written here loads onto a real IRC5 or OmniCore controller.
Which controllers does this cover?
IRC5 and OmniCore through RobotWare 6 and 7. The RAPID language is the same.
Some source lessons are members-only. Are they included?
No. Four members-only lessons were left out and their topics are covered by public lessons.
Is the course really free?
Yes. Every module, practice task and assessment. You create an account so your progress is saved and the assessments can be marked. The certificate is the only paid item, and only if you want it.
What certificate do I get, and is it a ABB qualification?
An EDWartens Certificate of Completion, issued when you pass the final assessment, with a verification code anyone can check. It is not a ABB credential and is never described as one.
Who made the video lessons?
The creators named in the Credits block at the foot of this page, on their own YouTube channels. EDWartens did not make the videos and the creators are not affiliated with EDWartens. What EDWartens wrote is the study plan, the notes, the practice tasks and the assessments.
