There are only a few kinds of software used, and I just finished training in Herilang. Generally, industrial robot systems of different manufacturers use different programming languages, which are usually built into the robot controller. For example, the RAPID programming language used by ABB robot, the KRL programming language used by KUKA robot and the Karel programming language used by FANUC robot are similar to advanced programming languages such as C language or VB, and at the same time, the control of robot motion and external input and output points are added.

In order to improve work efficiency and optimize the system at the same time, many robot companies have launched their own off-line simulation software for robot systems, such as ABB off-line simulation software Robot Studio and KUKA. Office Lite off-line simulation software of KUKA Robotics, etc. These softwares usually run on PC, and the simulation results can be directly downloaded to the corresponding robot controller in this environment. There is also a kind of simulation software, such as similar IGRIP software. As far as I know, these softwares are usually used for robot simulation applications of virtual reality, not for specific robot systems.

Teaching programming can cope with the usual work, and it is also fast. The manufacturer built man-machine interface programming into the robot controller. The above programming can only be carried out when the robot stops working, which is inefficient, while offline programming can be used to program the next process when the robot is working. CAM programming is similar, using specialized software, such as IGRIP of Deneb Company, WORKSPACE of Robot Simulatoins Company and ROBOCAD of Tecnomatix Company.
