FAQs
What are Solution Studies?
Our "Phase 0" feasibility program is the common starting point for customers with open-ended robotics program requirements, and allows PickNik to perform a thorough technical analysis, architecture review, and risk assessment for your initiative.
Can Solution Studies be used to raise capital?
Absolutely, we've had a lot of customers use our technical roadmaps and feasibility reports to raise VC money. We usually create a "concept video" recording using the Digital Twin sim, and that can definitely be used to give both VCs and potential customers.
Is creating a Digital Twin a required step to start prior to moving towards hardware-based deployment?
We always have to create some level of simulation in MoveIt Pro, in order to use the software’s capabilities. However the fidelity and complexity of that simulation can vary based on needs and budget.
Do Digital Twins derisk the hardware proof of concept?
Absolutely, we will be able to understand the kinematic reachability, sensor placement, and other design requirements before buying, shipping, and installing hardware.
Can I use concept videos created by the Digital Twin to sell to upper management, customers, and VCs?
For sure - we believe high fidelity concept videos are key to effectively communicating to various types of stakeholders, which is why we always recommend a Digital Twin be created.
What is MoveIt Pro?
MoveIt Pro is a commercial-grade platform for accelerating the development of unstructured robotic arm applications, reducing engineering time by up to 75%.
What are the business benefits to my company of using MoveIt Pro?
You can leverage our control platform that we've been developing for nearly a decade, and have used with many customers. This will save you time and money, as well as providing more advanced features than nearly all robot arm manufacturers provide out of box.
What is the difference between the MoveIt Pro Developer Platform and MoveIt Pro Runtime?
The MoveIt Pro Runtime is the core library that gets deployed with your robot hardware, and provides a stable, commercially supported ROS 2 foundation and integration of advanced motion planning, perception, grasping, and behavior tree capabilities for reliable solutions.
Why wouldn’t I just use the built-in controller that comes with my robot arm?
While traditional pendant programs offer a simple and easy interface to programming some types of highly structured applications in factories, MoveIt Pro enables you to go beyond by providing far more advanced capabilities.
How does MoveIt Pro compare to other advanced robotics software development tools?
MoveIt Pro is a single platform of tools designed to enable many types of robotics applications. With its robust library of motion primitives, advanced perception software, and unparalleled motion planners, developers have all of the building blocks needed to create solutions.
Can MoveIt Pro be used for certified and critical applications, such as robotic surgery?
PickNik has extensive experience, particularly, in the surgical robotics and space industry. We are expanding that experience to any other safety critical robotics industry. We are here to work with your team to ensure your deployed robotics motion planning software is certifiable and verifiable.
How does MoveIt Pro help debug applications?
MoveIt Pro extends the capabilities of traditional debugging methods with specialized tools designed for the complexities of robotic systems. Its proactive warnings, live previews, immediate feedback messages, introspection behaviors, easy to read configuration details.
How does MoveIt Pro help with creating custom hardware for robot arms?
Robotic trailblazers have found MoveIt Pro to be a great prototyping tool for quickly validating their hardware designs, using the software platform for: Conducting reachability analysis and kinematic design
How do I protect my company’s IP while using MoveIt Pro?
PickNik seeks to accelerate robotics adoption, particularly in unstructured environments, by providing a reusable, modular, and general purpose platform for robotics. Our goal is to deliver the MoveIt Pro platform to our customers to enable rapid development of commercial grade.
Does PickNik offer support and training for MoveIt Pro?
Absolutely, MoveIt Pro provides dedicated support from a knowledgeable team that can assist with any issues you encounter during development. In-person training courses and online documentation are available to help you master MoveIt Pro's capabilities.
