You should be familiar with the AdeptSight workspace.
The AdeptSight workspace uses objects to represent items that, when put
together, make up a functioning workcell. The workspace is composed of a hier-
archy of objects, both physical (like robots and end-effectors) and non-physical
(like sequences and variable values).
Some objects are created automatically when you connect to a controller (for
example, the controller, robot, and robot grippers). Other objects can be added
to provide increased functionality to the workcell.
