You can control youBot with an external PC in the same way you do it with internal PC. You just have to connect the hardware with your PC via Ethernet and install all necessary youBot drivers on your PC.
Please note that to work with external PC the internal PC must be shut down.

Connecting youBot to external PC
Using KUKA youBot arm and base
If you are using both the KUKA youBot base and arm you should connect the Ethernet cable to the remaining port on the arm, as shown below:
Using only KUKA youBot arm
If you are using only the KUKA youBot arm you should connect the ethernet cable to the port on the right (close to the on/off button), as shown below:
Please remember that when you are connecting only the arm you have to change the Joint topology in youbot-manipulator.cfg file accordingly.
Using only KUKA youBot base
If you are using only the KUKA youBot base you should connect the ethernet cable to port ehtherCAT1, as shown below:
Using KUKA youBot base with two arms
If you are using KUKA youBot base with two arms you should connect the Ethernet cable to the remaining port on the second arm.
