The v1.7 iOS App can only match with V1.7 controller (1.7.0 and above), excluding the V1.5 controller. Programming has always been considered a difficult task. Teach pendants are an indispensable tool for teaching programming. The teaching pendants from different robotic companies are diverse, bulky, and with different programming instructions. With the rapid development of mobile smart devices, JAKA Robotics, from the users’ perspective, in order to lower the programming threshold and provide a user-friendly programming experience, has developed JAKA Zu APP. JAKA Robotics has become the world’s first cobot company to use graphical programming. The graphical programming software of JAKA Robotics has three advantages: 1. The programming interface is intuitive, easy to learn and understand, which makes the absence of entry barriers of robot programming; 2. The programming efficiency is greatly improved; 3. The programming instructions are more scalable. "Logic, loop, mathematics, text, lists, colors", etc., these are all modular basic programming languages. Take "loop" as an example, when a certain condition is met, a certain logic can be looped", this is the most classic program. JAKA graphic programming system is composed of three modules: instruction set, communication, and serialization. Through the management of the version number of the programming file, the serial number of the robot, as well as the compatible adaptation of the corresponding programming instructions, the same APP can be adapted to JAKA Cobots of different hardware versions.
