Our review
Pros
  • Simulates virtual controllers and multi-robot configurations
  • Checks collisions, reach and cycle time before controller transfer
  • Imports CAD models and simulates welding, cutting, handling and painting
  • Models 3D robots and environments with physics-based simulation.
  • Configurable cameras, lidar, GPS, and inertial sensors support sensor simulation.
  • Supports ROS and ROS 2 plus controllers in several programming languages.
Cons
  • Windows desktop deployment limits platform flexibility
  • Commercial license pricing requires contacting sales
  • PLC connection workflows are not real-time
  • Desktop-focused rather than a browser-based simulation workflow.
  • Controller programming requires working with a supported programming language.
  • Docs and community are the listed support channels.
