## Description

MCP server implementation by Anthony Zhuang that provides AI assistants with complete control over Universal Robots industrial robotic arms through real-time data exchange (RTDE), dashboard commands, and URScript programming interfaces. The implementation includes a comprehensive URBasic library that handles TCP/IP connections for robot control, real-time data monitoring of joint positions and TCP poses, safety status management, and advanced features like force-controlled movements and remote servoj operations for precise joint control. Built with multi-threaded architecture supporting simultaneous data streaming and command execution, the server enables AI assistants to perform complex robotic tasks including trajectory planning, force sensing applications, and industrial automation workflows where programmatic control of Universal Robots hardware is required.
