Process Simulate Connector 1.7.1​

New and impproved FANUC characterization model

• NEW: New and improved FANUC characterization model
  • What does this mean? Our engineering teams have been working tirelessly to better model the FANUC smoothing behavior, which follows a velocity-based model rather than distance-based. For those using FANUC RCS, the paths produced by Resolver will match native controller paths much closer. This will provide better results out of the box along with much more accurate cycle times.
    • Note: There is additional engine optimization work in progress to allow more frequent use of higher CNT values.
• NEW: Support for SetSignal, WaitSignal and Send OLP Commands
  • Paths with SetSignal, WaitSignal, and Send OLP commands are now supported during export. These signals will be interpreted as precedence constraints in the query.
    • Note: Every WaitSignal must have a matching SetSignal. You will receive an error when exporting studies that have WaitSignal commands without a SetSignal.
  • Signals are only supported at the start or end of OLP commands and only OLP-level signals are supported.
• Improved: Collision Set Alerts and Display Settings
  • Users will be alerted when collision sets only contain hidden objects.
  • Users will be alerted if objects are referenced in operations but not included in any active collision sets.

---

Resolver Platform Enhancements​

Enhanced support for FANUC robots and improved cycle times

NEW: Support for "Direct" Moves

• "Direct" move types allow users to include robot motions that are simply executed, not planned by Resolver. This keeps cycle times and interlocks accurate to include the fixed parts of your robot motion while allowing Resolver to plan the rest.
• If you want to keep the default behavior of Resolver, there are no changes required. Leave all Targets as "Planned" move type to allow Resolver to plan all the motions for your operation.

Note: It is not recommended to use Direct move types if targets are being re-ordered by the engine (when "Optimize Target Order" is selected).

Improvement: Support for Complex Work Cells

• We are working on the back end of Resolver to improve the optimization of large, complex work cells. In particular, robot allocation queries will see a big enhancement in the ability to solve large problems and produce quality results, faster.
• You will also see:
  • Improvements to large numbers of targets (200+)
  • Linear rail capabilities for unallocated targets
  • Improvement to Optimize Rz reducing robot-robot conflicts

---

Process Simulate Connector 1.5.0​

Added support for Linear Moves

NEW: Calibration Data is Cached

• Yes, dynamic calibration can be slow when using RCS, so we are actively working with RCS vendors and Siemens to improve this. In the meantime, we are introducing an improvement that caches the dynamic data after your first export, so any subsequent exports can reuse the data.

---

VC and Gemini Connectors 1.4.0​

NEW: Added support for Visual Components 4.9

Improvement: Collision Detectors Automatically Exported

• Based on customer feedback, we improved the VC/Gemini experience by including all collision detectors that are on. This prevents unintended behavior, if you forget to enable collision detectors.

---

Support for Material Handling in PS​

Path planning and interlock generation for material handling

Resolver now supports operations with OLP commands used for material handling. This new capability allows you to export and upload an entire workcell with a mix of material handling and process operations.

Supported OLP commands include:

• Blank/Display
• Attach/Detach
• Grip/Release

---

Support for Stateful Objects in PS​

Account for objects, such as clamps, that change states during operations
In addition to supporting material handling, Resolver also supports operations with OLP commands that change the state of objects. If you have clamps or grippers that are actuated during an operation, Resolver will take those actions into account and generate paths and interlocks that are collision-free.

Supported OLP commands include:

• Blank/Display
• DriveDevice
• JumpDevice
• WaitDevice

---

Optimize Configuration in PS​

Why auto-teach when you can optimize the configurations?
Automatically get configurations that lead to the optimal cycle times for start/end targets as well as process points.

Start/End Targets - Optimize Tool Within Box
For start and end targets, define a bounding box that limits where the EOAT is allowed to be and Resolver will find start and end configurations that optimizes the operation. The bounding box is defined by two points relative to the TCP of the tool.

Process Targets - Optimize Tool
For process targets, Resolver can optimize the robot configuration in several ways depending on your application. Select "Optimize Configuration" to maintain the target position but find an optimal robot configuration with paths. Select "Optimize Tool Rx/Ry/Rz" to allow Resolver to rotate the target around the specified TCP axis and find the optimal configuration and paths.

---

UI Updates to Resolver​

Build UI selected automatically and new toolbar on the canvas
We continue to streamline the user interface of Resolver to help you save engineering efforts. After exporting a study, you will now be shown the Build UI automatically. Additionally, there is a new toolbar which includes a gear icon to set up the Query Settings such as "Motion Settings" and "End Conditions".

---

Resolver: The Ultimate Robot Path Planner​

On Monday, May 12th, 2025 we launched Resolver at the Automate Show in Detroit, Michigan and everyone was impressed and excited about it. Some even called it the best robot demo. We could not have developed this amazing product without your input and feedback during our early access period - THANK YOU!

We launched with a ton of new features as you will see in this email, so grab some coffee and read on!

In today's Resolver 2025.1.0 release

• PS Connector integrated as a Viewer
• New cloud UI
• Target offsets
• Robot allocation
• Cartesian interpolation
• PS Connector 1.0.5

---

PS Connector integrated in PS as a Viewer​

Export directly to Resolver while you continue working in PS
Export and automatically upload, no need to deal with zip files anymore! Continue working in PS while Resolver is processing multiple options in parallel. Select your preferred results based on number of interlock zones and cycle time. Then simply import those results without leaving PS.

---

New Build UI in the cloud​

Visualize compound operations and experience new features
With the new features such as Target Offsets, Robot Allocation, and Cartesian Interpolation, we designed a new Resolver UI that is powerful, yet flexible. After exporting your study, you will see new options at the operation and target levels to fine-tune your query. Download the latest PS Connector to make sure you can access the latest UI.

---

Target Offset​

Let Resolver add approach and depart points for you
To help reduce the amount of engineering at the proposal and design stage, we are happy to introduce Target Offsets. Specify an X, Y, or Z offset with external axis values and apply it to as many points as you want, or all of them. Resolver will use the offsets as approach and depart points when path planning and generating interlocks.

---

Robot Allocation​

Optimize the target-to-robot allocation
For any multirobot application where more than one robot can perform the same task, let Resolver know which robots are allowed to be considered for that operation. Resolver will consider all robots selected and evaluate reachability, paths, and interlocks that result in the optimal target-to-robot allocation. Please note that using this feature expands the number of possible solutions and Resolver should be run longer.

---

Cartesian Interpolation​

Resolver can now plan in cartesian space to generate linear moves
Based on your feedback, we have added support for planning paths in cartesian space, when necessary. Resolver will generate paths that are based on linear moves if possible. If there are collisions or too many singularities, it will revert back to joint space. The interpolation type must be specified in the cloud UI since we are not yet collecting the data directly from PS. This feature is coming soon to the PS Connector.
