robot-connect --protocol tcp --host 192.168.1.10 --port 3000 robot-send --data "MOVEJ 90 0 0 0 0 0" robot-receive --size 256 robot-disconnect ✅ Identify robot’s communication protocol & port ✅ Install required drivers/libraries ✅ Configure IP address (static or DHCP reservation) ✅ Test with a simple echo client/server ✅ Implement connection utility with heartbeat & reconnection ✅ Log all events for debugging ✅ Secure connection if on shared network If you need a specific implementation for a particular robot model (e.g., UR, Dobot, Fanuc, ROSbot) or communication protocol (Modbus, CANopen, MQTT), provide the details and I can extend this guide with exact code examples.
