Control Real robot from KUKA sim

Robot Programming
1

I am looking for a definitive answer to the following question:

Can I connect a physical robot to kuka sim such that I can manipulate the robot in the sim and the real robot will mimic it in realtime.

I have posed this question to KUKA and am waiting for a response so wanted to ask the same question here.

Apologies in advance if this is not the correct place to be asking this question,

thanks,

From my understanding, it’s not possible to jog a real robot from KUKA Sim due to safety reasons.

However, it is possible to download a robot program, modify it, and upload it back to the robot, and then monitor the robot as it moves.

With the new KUKA iiQWorks.Sim I think it should be possible to control the robot live with a virtual teach pendant.

Though you need to have a new KUKA robot with suitable OS version that supports this.
