Set Up a Physical Robot

First complete Workspace and Developer Environment Setup on the robot deployment device and any model preparation host. This is the same shared prerequisite used by the simulation tutorial.

Review the documented reference configuration in System Requirements, then install the packages and models. Choose the robot and gripper specified by your workflow.

Warning

Physical-robot setup and testing can command motion. Read the robot and gripper safety instructions, establish a safe workspace, and complete calibration and preflight checks before running a workflow.

Complete the following steps in order:

1. Follow robot and driver setup and the detailed manipulation setup.

2. Configure cameras and complete manipulation camera calibration for your robot and camera arrangement.

3. Complete manipulator testing, following the physical-robot instructions and their safety checks.

4. Run DisplayPort cable insertion, using its prerequisites and workflow configuration.

The detailed setup guide includes installation steps for readers who enter directly. If those steps are already complete, continue with robot, camera, and workflow configuration. For setup failures, refer to Troubleshoot Your Setup.
