Universal Robots Cobot Programming with PolyScope
Collaborative robots the way integrators use them: the UR family, tool and payload setup, the safety configuration, PolyScope programs, pick-and-place and palletising, force and blends, URSim, URScript, RTDE, sockets, PROFINET and real machine-tending and vision applications.
What you will learn
Set up a UR cobot from unboxing to safe operation, configure TCP, payload, safety planes and limits, write PolyScope programs with waypoints, subprograms, force and blends, build pick-and-place and pallet routines, use URSim, maintain the arm and talk to it from URScript, RTDE, sockets and a PLC over PROFINET.
- Set up a UR cobot and run a risk assessment
- Configure TCP, payload and the safety planes and limits
- Write PolyScope programs with waypoints, subprograms, force and blends
- Build pick-and-place and palletising routines
- Install URSim, update firmware and replace a joint
- Program in URScript and connect via RTDE, sockets and PROFINET

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
Do I need a robot?
No. URSim runs PolyScope on a PC or virtual machine, so every program in the course can be written and tested without hardware.
Which UR models does this cover?
The e-Series (UR3e to UR16e) with notes on the CB3 series still common in Indian plants; the programming is the same.
Is URScript necessary?
Not for a first job, but the module shows what the pendant generates and how a PC or PLC talks to the robot, which is where integrator work goes.
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 vendor qualification?
An EDWartens Certificate of Completion, issued when you pass the final assessment, with a verification code anyone can check. It is not a vendor credential and is never described as one.
