In order to inspect a robot in the 3D scene, right-click on it. This will display a menu with the
**inspect** option.

Clicking on **inspect** displays the robot inspector. When the **Robot** tab of the inspector is selected, the robot
becomes transparent and its different parts are labelled. Sensors and actuators are labelled with white bubbles. The **Documentation** link of the **Robot** tab will direct you to the 
documentation page of the robot, a web page based on the model.config file, see :ref:`web-cockpit-create-experiment`.
