The 2025 release of Robotmaster includes powerful new features and capabilities, including support for simultaneous multiple robot cells. This version contains many improvements that benefit simultaneous multi-robot, sequential multi-robot, and single-robot configurations.
Simultaneous programming of multiple robots
Robotmaster 2025 supports simultaneous multi-arm systems and a new-to-market method for programming industrial robots. The system enables you to plan programming, optimize path sequencing and distribution among robots, simulate the process, and promptly detect and resolve errors and collisions.

Our aim is to reduce the lead time for deploying multi-robot cells into production and lay the groundwork for scalable multi-robot development.
Efficient multi-robot programming, simulation, and code generation are essential features of Robotmaster to:
Minimize the time required from programming to production.
Enhance the efficiency of multi-robot cells.
Decrease the necessity for blind updates and dry runs.
Mitigate the risk of collisions.

Time-based simulation
Robotmaster’s simulation environment now uses a time-based model that more accurately presents the motion of the real-world single-robot or multi-robot system. This ensures that the robot’s location is well understood at all stages of the program and reduces the likelihood of collisions.
Scheduler with timeline view
The program scheduler has been completely redesigned to include a timeline view. For simultaneous multi-robot places each robot on a distinct track, allowing the user to see its utilization over time. You can easily drag and drop operations between robots to improve path/load distribution and cycle time, add wait times before or after operations, and synchronize operations between different robots using handshakes.

Automatic path ordering
Ordering and assigning operations can now be achieved with a single click for optimal path sequencing and cycle time.
Focus modes
New focus levels offer a significant advantage when programming single and multi-robot systems. Users can easily adjust the focus mode level to address collisions between a single robot and the part and cell component as well as collisions between other robots. This simplifies error resolution, increases usability, and produces faster results when utilizing autocorrect and calculation tools.
Interference checking
An additional layer of safety has been added, allowing users to create CAD elements around the robot parts for additional flexibility in adjusting for margins of error.

Users can now assign safety envelope types to distinguish between collisions and interferences, as well as define how the simulation environment should recognize and react to each type.
Select from a list of standard envelope shapes or import CAD to model for envelopes around system components.
Collision checking improvements
Cell design allows robot-specific collision components such as toolings and tools, to be included in collision groups. No need to fine tune collision groups during a programming session, this can all be handled in the cell editor ahead of time.
Multi-robot code generation
Brand templates for FANUC, Yaskawa Motoman, and ABB are available for multi-robot configurations that use a single controller with multi-robot OEM controller packages. Brand templates serve as the foundation, with the option to adjust to meet particular needs.
