Realtime Robotics releases cloud-based software to accelerate design of robot cells

by

Realtime Robotics, a specialist in automated collision-free motion planning, control, and optimization, has launched Resolver, a new cloud-based solution that dramatically accelerates the design and deployment of robotic workcells.

Robot path planning is traditionally a complex, time-consuming, and brittle process. In most workcells there are multiple robots in use, requiring tedious manual labor to create interference zones and interlock signals that ensure there are no collisions during the manufacturing process.

Manually validating the mechanical design, planning robot paths, determining sequencing to hit optimal cycle time targets, and defining those interlocks can take a team well over 100,000 hours for a single project.
