Two robot controllers in on robot

Hi,

I have a robot with “two arms”, is it possible to have two robot controllers in one robot? The robot controllers will not have the same joints.

Thanks!

Hi @Aakolstad

If the joints are independent you could model the arms as individual robots. This is how the ABB IRB 14000 has been modeled.

Thank you!

So if I understand the ABB IRB correctly, it is two components attached to eachother?

The component actually consists of five components. There is a ‘base’, and two individual arms (robots) that are attached to the base. Additionally, there are grippers connected to each arm.
