INDEPENDENT LEARNING PROJECT · NOT OFFICIAL KUKA SOFTWARE
Robotics, SmartPAD & KRL without fear to try out.
SO-KukaRobotik is an independent, KUKA-oriented training simulation in the browser. You can move a 6-axis robot, explore SmartPAD operation, test KRL basics and programs, and practice gripper sequences – without controlling a real system.
Important: This website is a learning and demonstration system. Emergency stop, enabling switch, operating modes and motions are only simulated here. On real industrial robots, the safety rules, permissions and training requirements of the specific system always apply.
7 scenarios
Conveyor, two-station BASE, palletizing, tool change, fault scenario, cobot and speed.
View scenariosSchool without mandatory email
Join with a class code or, as a teacher, release exercises and view progress.
Getting started
The steps are deliberately simple. You do not need to be a programmer.
Open the 3D simulatorYou see the robot, workspace, SmartPAD and status displays side by side.
Use T1 as the training modeFor the exercises, T1 is the easiest place to start. The website explains why an enabling switch is required.
Jog slowlyMove only one axis at first. Watch A1 to A6 and the TCP display.
Select a sample programFor example “Greifer_Test” or “PickPlace_A”. The active program line is shown during execution.
Watch picking and placingThe demo can pick up a workpiece, transport it and release it again.
Read more in the learning courseIf a term is unclear, open the learning course. Axes, Tool/Base, I/O and programs are explained there in simple language.
Choose a robot model
In the simulator you can switch between a classic industrial cell and an open cobot training cell. The choice is stored locally and, when logged in, can also be synced through the cloud.
KR 6 R700 sixx
The familiar training cell with guarded area, gripper, workpiece and pick-and-place sequence.
LBR iisy 3 R760
An open, cobot-oriented workspace with 3 kg rated payload and 760 mm reach as a training representation.
LBR iisy 11 R1300
Larger cobot mode with 11 kg rated payload and 1,300 mm reach. The 3D geometry remains a simplified learning simulation.
Cobot does not automatically mean “without safeguards”: The open scene is only a learning layout. In real applications, safe design always depends on the specific task and risk assessment.
What you can practice here
A1
Move the robot
Explore A1 to A6 individually and understand which joint creates which motion.
⌘
Read programs
Watch PTP, LIN, WAIT and I/O commands step by step instead of only looking at code.
▤
Understand the SmartPAD
Try the Navigator, operating modes, overrides, Tool/Base, start conditions and messages in the demo pad.
For different learning styles
Children, beginners and curious learners
Short sentences, everyday comparisons and small exercises. Children should use the virtual simulation only – real industrial robots must be handled by trained people.
Open easy modeComfortable for older users too
Large buttons, clear sequences and optional larger text. Each topic can be opened individually and continued later.
Adjust learning displayFor school, training & home
New: ready-to-use browser exercises, a teacher briefing and an interactive BASE lab. A lesson can be prepared even when no real training robot is available.
10 school exercises
Axis detective, SmartPAD start sequence, PTP/LIN, gripper, sensors, BASE and your own pick-and-place.
Open exercises15-minute briefing
Lesson plans, common student questions and assessment help – deliberately designed without requiring robotics expertise.
Teacher briefingBASE Lab
Move and rotate a workstation and immediately see why points defined relative to BASE can move with it.
Try BASECloud sync optional
Without an account, the simulation still works locally. With an account, non-safety-related preferences and learning progress can be stored on the server so you can continue on another computer.
✓Stored data can include preferred simulation speed, jog coordinate system, HOV/POV, run mode and learning progress.
✓Not synced are safety-like states such as the virtual enabling switch, emergency stop or “drives on”.
✓Passwords are stored on the server only as password hashes.

Make robotics learning possible together.
The independent learning project deliberately offers only four clearly labelled partner slots. This keeps sponsorship visible, transparent and separate from the learning content.
