DrAmaT The art of programming - The first VKRC, VFanuc and ABB editor for Windows and Linux

About
VeRa - AI agent and voice control - control the editor by voice, by an AI assistant (MCP server) or by scripts
AI Agent window (editor) - chat with an AI model that works in the editor: opens, checks and saves files, sets the active robot project, runs menu actions and plugins; direct commands /status, /projects ... without tokens
- Checking robot programs with the AI agent – prompt catalog - example prompts for the editor and the Robot Cell Simulator, answer format, status of every check
- Examples: prompt examples - one sentence and the result: collision map of 16 robots, point checks, weld parameters, cycle times
- Examples: one prompt – a complete check
- VKRC robot check of 5 robots – report of the agent
- VFanuc robot check of 4 robots – report of the agent
- Writing a program: Makro45 with the collision releases
License info - all licenses of the key with type and validity, update licenses, knowledge packs of the AI agents
