Mechanical engineers and designers in search of a tool to integrate their robotic simulation and programming into their CAD workflows
About RobotWorks
RobotWorks is a CNC-style program for off-line programming of industrial robots. It is an add-in to SOLIDWORKS, acting upon CAD objects (faces, edges, etc.) within an assembly. Creation parts, tools, fixtures, work-cell parts, and a robot path inside one interactive environment. Automatic path generation along CAD features (faces, curves, and more) Simulating robot and tool motion, collision detection, external axes, robot joint limits, and more. Handles offsets, user frames, and motion in several coordinate systems. Imports points from CNC programs and other formats and make them robot programs. Translates and writes robot programs in most industrial robots formats Affordable PC solution for the end user, simple and intuitive, and has a very short learning curve Among its many features, RobotWorks can generate without effort a path for "Carry Part," in which the part is manipulated against a fixed tool.

Apera AI
Forge Lab makes AI training and simulation for vision-guided robotics fast and accessible. Manufacturing engineers can receive ready vision programs and test their automation strategies. AI-powered vision can drive huge improvements in reliability and product quality. This includes new cells or retrofitting existing cells and manual processes. Vision driven by AI makes robotic cells more reliable and productive. You can now use vision-guided robotics with less expertise and risk. Vue software can change robotic guidance, bin picking, assembly and more in your facilities. The AI learns to understand your parts completely, so the robot can take the fastest, safest, most reliable path in and out of movements to handle the parts. Vue understands how to avoid collisions within the operating area, even with the object in hand. Since the AI also understands how the object has been picked up, it can precisely and accurately place it, or assemble it with another object.
