Robot Tools is an addon for FreeCAD. With it, you make robots from CAD parts, you move them, and you simulate their motion.
Robot Tools puts a standard Assembly in a Robot object. You make the robot from CAD parts. You move each joint with sliders. You attach a tool with a TCP. You pull the TCP in the 3D view, and inverse kinematics moves the robot. You teach trajectories and play them.
The addon installs a global toolbar with the name "Robot Tools Toolbar". The toolbar shows in all workbenches. You do not go to a different workbench.
