Step 1: Preparing meshes in a Storage Device
Format the external storage device to FAT32 or exFAT format. This ensures compatibility with the robot system.
Prepare the mesh files according to the requirements listed in Mesh model file requirements.
Transfer the mesh files to the external storage device. If you have multiple files for an object and you have multiple objects to upload, it is recommended to use one directory per object.
