The industry leaders in solving the hardest robotics problems.
We provide advanced solutions for structured and unstructured environments on Earth and in space.
We’re live at ERF 2026 in Stavanger, Norway this week 🇳🇴 with MoveIt Pro 9.0 queued up and ready for live demos — come create your own simulation. Dave Coleman and Michael Janney can't wait to show it off! Booth #78!
Medical robotics isn’t just automation. It’s micron-level precision, repeatability, and safety in living systems where variation isn’t tolerated. The real challenge: moving from simulation to validated clinical systems, reliably. @InventiaLifeSci
Catch @waffle Dave Coleman on a panel "How Robotics Companies Are Using AI" alongside Anders Billesø Beck and @Andrew Lonsberry.
Stop by the #PickNik booth, #636. Our interactive demo will let you experience what production-grade robotic manipulation really looks like.
Greetings from the 41st Space Symposium! @waffle Dave Coleman and @SteveHagenlock are in Colorado Springs this week talking to the primes, startups, and agencies pushing the space robotics frontier forward.
We got a facelift in 9.0
The new UI reduces mouse travel for common workflows, removes confusion around editing while in edit mode, and eliminates wasted space caused by duplicate header bars.
The refreshed layout delivers a cleaner, more modern look that improves usability
MoveIt Pro 9.0 released!
All new algorithms
35x faster IK solvers, 4x faster motion planning and 30x faster cartesian planners
A suite of new algorithms with more robust and performant implementations replacing OMPL, MoveIt Servo, KDL, and IKFast.

Today marks 100 years since Robert H. Goddard launched the first liquid-fueled rocket—a moment that ignited the modern space age. On March 16, 1926, a small rocket lifted off from a snowy field in Auburn, Massachusetts.
We’re proud to be part of the next chapter of this story
From prototypes to mission-critical robots across space, medical, and defense - ROS™ 2 is powering the worldʼs most advanced production systems.

We have used many mapping and planning approaches — including Octomap-based pipelines in MoveIt Pro and NVIDIA’s NVBlox + CuMotion stack.
Teams still choose Octomap for one reason: predictable behavior when the environment isn’t perfect.

@MotivSS and PickNik announce a collaboration to support software development for NASA's Fly Foundational Robotics (FFR) mission, advancing on-orbit robotic manipulation for future In-space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (ISAM) capabilities using #MoveItPro and #SpaceROS
We just rolled out an experimental LLM-powered way to build Behavior Trees in MoveIt Pro—and it’s a game changer. Starting in v8.8, you can now use a built-in text prompt directly in the UI to instantly generate complete Behavior Trees or refactor existing ones. #MoveItPro
Our featured MoveIt Pro and ROS 2 compatible hardware this month is the #Kuka KR Cybertech series. #MoveItPro now offers Gold Support for these robots, as well as KUKA-compatible 7th-axis linear rails. https://t.co/RAAvUebYaz
