HAL Robotics vs. ROBOGUIDE vs. RobotStudio vs. VBScript Comparison Chart

HAL Robotics offers a versatile robot programming and simulation software platform designed to automate complex, variable tasks across diverse industries. Their flagship product, DECODE, is a no-code human-robot collaboration software that enables users without robotics or programming expertise to flexibly automate new and variable tasks. DECODE facilitates the creation of digital twins for robot cells, allowing for simulation and validation of machine behavior through an intuitive drag-and-drop interface. It supports over 1,000 robot presets and more than 40 CAD formats, streamlining the process of building accurate virtual models. The platform provides customizable toolpath generators, enabling quick and easy programming of robots by combining robot actions with a library of parametric toolpath generators. This approach ensures error-free robot tasks by utilizing native robot functions.

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.
