MotoSim vs. Robot Operating System (ROS) vs. RobotStudio vs. RobotWorks Comparison Chart

Yaskawa Motoman's MotoSim EG-VRC (Enhanced Graphics Virtual Robot Controller) is a sophisticated offline programming and 3D simulation software tailored for the precise programming of complex robotic systems. It enables users to construct and simulate robotic work cells virtually, eliminating the need for physical robots during the development phase. Key features include optimizing robot and equipment placement, reach modeling, accurate cycle time calculations, automatic path generation, collision detection, system configuration, condition file editing, and Functional Safety Unit (FSU) configuration. The software incorporates a virtual robot controller, providing a programming pendant interface identical to the actual controller, ensuring a seamless transition from simulation to real-world application. Additionally, MotoSim EG-VRC offers access to an extensive model library, allowing users to download a broad range of third-party models to enhance their simulations.

RobotStudio is the world’s most popular offline programming and simulation tool for robotic applications. Based on the best-in-class virtual controller technology, the RobotStudio suite gives you full confidence that what you see on your screen matches how the robot will move in real life. Enabling you to build, test, and refine your robot installation in a virtual environment, this unique technology speeds up commissioning time and productivity by a magnitude. The RobotStudio desktop version allows you to carry out programming and simulation without disturbing ongoing production. RobotStudio cloud enables individuals and teams to collaborate in real-time on robot cell designs from anywhere in the world, on any device. The RobotStudio Augmented Reality Viewer enables you to visualize robots and solutions in a real environment or in a virtual room on any mobile device for free. Both the desktop and mobile applications enable teams to collaborate and make faster decisions.
