PickNik Inc. is rebranding its flagship software for robotic manipulation applications. Previously known as MoveIt Studio, the company said the new name of MoveIt Pro better aligns with the platform’s value and expanded capabilities. <\/p>\n

Since its launch in 2021, MoveIt’s features have grown beyond its easy-to-use user interface and powerful behavior-tree builder, said PickNik Robotics.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Boulder, Colo.-based company<\/a> said it has been rapidly enhancing its commercial-grade robotics runtime engine. They are intended to further accelerate the development of systems to real-world, unstructured robotics challenges.<\/p>\n

With so many new features, the professional tool has outgrown the original MoveIt Studio name, claimed PickNik. The company added that the new name represents the high-level robotics programming environment. <\/p>\n

PickNik is also releasing a new MoveIt Runtime product. This will contain PickNik’s advanced robotics engine and developer tools. <\/p>\n

Tools included in MoveIt Pro<\/h2>\n

PickNik said it built the MoveIt Pro for enterprises and professionals looking to rapidly implement automation that can adapt to unstructured<\/a> and changing environments. The development platform can accelerate time to market and returns on investment (ROI) by enabling rapid prototyping and iteration, it asserted.<\/p>\n

MoveIt Pro also sits at the forefront of robotic motion-planning technology, said PickNik. This means its users receive frequent updates that ensure they’re always equipped with the latest tools. <\/p>\n

In addition, the development platform is hardware-agnostic, allowing users to combine open-source innovation with commercial-grade dependability to reduce risks. PickNik said it has an intuitive, visual user interface that streamlines the creation of advanced robotic arm software. <\/p>\n

PickNik also offers an extensive library of reference applications. These allow users to reduce development time. The applications include bin picking, opening doors, pick and place, peg in hole, scan and plan, cutting along paths, and visual servoing. <\/p>\n

Finally, MoveIt Pro is backed by end-to-end services and support for business-critical applications from PickNik’s team of experts. The company sad its comprehensive professional services can accelerate all stages of product development, deployment, optimization, and sustainment.<\/p>\n
