Indy API

The Indy API represents communication interfaces that allow external devices (PC, PLC) to control or monitor Neuromeka Indy robots. It enables not only the acquisition of robot data at a higher level but also the execution of robot programs and the application of simple motion commands. This facilitates the implementation of complex logic configurations and interlocking operations.

IndyAPI offers three types of communication interfaces, allowing users to select the most appropriate API based on their development environment or external device.

In particular, IndyDCP provides examples for various languages.
