Multirotor drones are used across a wide range of applications today. As their roles and operating environments become more diverse, performance requirements place increasing demands on design choices. Multirotor design involves several key factors, including maneuverability, stability, payload capacity, flight duration, safety, and reliability. These factors are closely interconnected, and improving one often requires trade-offs […]
Modern militaries are steadily integrating ground robots—often called robotic combat vehicles (RCVs) or autonomous ground systems (AGS)—as force multipliers that enhance the reach, endurance, and situational awareness of human units. These platforms handle hazardous or burdensome tasks, allowing squads and platoons to operate more safely and focus on mission execution. Ukraine’s extensive use of unmanned […]
Shelf-scanning robots are autonomous systems designed to navigate store aisles, identify missing or misplaced products, and capture real-time inventory data with high accuracy. By using cameras, sensors, and intelligent software, these robots help retailers maintain on-shelf availability, reduce manual auditing work, and improve overall store efficiency. As automation continues to grow in the retail sector, […]
Encoders are sensors that measure physical movement—such as the rotation of a motor—and convert it into electrical signals. This allows us to determine how much a motor has rotated and use that information as digital input in a robot’s control system. They are essential for achieving precise motion control, especially in applications that require accurate […]
Due to the increasing use of robots in every field, the demand for robot programmers is also rising. Robot programming software company RoboDK, has launched a free online platform called RoboDK Academy, to help learners from any capacity, such as engineers, professionals, students and educators master industrial robot programming skills. The users can sign up […]
A rural primary school in Maharashtra has stepped into the future of STEM education with the launch of a Robotics and Industry 4.0 lab powered by RoboDK and SimuSoft Technologies (Pune). Supported by Bharat Forge Ltd. through its CSR initiative, the lab at Zilla Parishad School, Jalindarnagar is the first of its kind in a […]
Robot Operating System (ROS) is an open source, flexible software framework* used for building and controlling robots. Despite its name, ROS should not be confused with a traditional operating system because it runs on top of existing operating systems like Linux or Ubuntu. It does not replace an operating system; it only provides tools, conventions, […]
Designing your own PCB isn’t just about cutting costs — it’s about taking full control of your robot’s electronics. A custom board lets you integrate everything you need into one compact, reliable system, eliminating messy wiring and improving performance. While it can make your robot cheaper in the long run and if you mass produced […]

Two of the most critical success factors in the manufacturing industry are time to deployment and cycle time. Despite this, the design and deployment of robotic workcells has long remained a surprisingly manual and time-consuming process. Realtime Robotics is aiming to change that with Resolver, a cloud-based optimization engine that introduces industrial-scale automation into the earliest stages of robotic system planning.
At its core, Resolver addresses some of the most persistent engineering challenges in workcell design: motion planning, robot task allocation, target sequence optimization, and layout validation. Traditionally, these steps require iterative tweaking, deep domain expertise, and a significant investment of time and resources to get right and be able to deliver on time. Resolver replaces that trial-and-error approach with intelligent automation. As it runs, the engine explores thousands of potential options to deliver an increasingly optimized result; one that balances performance, accuracy, and feasibility – and does so within minutes.

This kind of computational efficiency opens new doors for how teams approach the design process. Rather than being limited by what’s manually achievable, engineers can let Resolver handle the mechanical complexity and instead focus on higher-level goals such as throughput, safety, or flexibility. Resolver adapts to a range of use cases, from greenfield line builds to individual cell retrofits, making it broadly applicable across industries and production scales. And it can do all this in mere minutes – faster than what’s humanly possible.
Recent integrations with leading 3D simulation platforms including Siemens Process Simulate, Visual Components, and Mitsubishi Electric’s MELSOFT Gemini, enable users to access Resolver’s capabilities directly within their preferred simulation environments. This embedded approach reflects a broader shift toward interoperability and hybrid workflows in advanced manufacturing, where simulation, design, and optimization are increasingly converging.

Early adopters, particularly in automotive manufacturing, have already reported cycle time improvements ranging from 15% to 40%, along with faster deployments and fewer errors. These outcomes suggest that Resolver is not just a point solution, but part of a larger movement toward AI-assisted engineering. A future where decision-making is augmented, not replaced, by automation.
