PickNik Robotics

We are incredibly grateful for our customers and the inspiring work they’re doing with MoveIt Pro. Thank you for being part of PickNik’s journey. Happy Thanksgiving!

We’re excited to announce our collaboration with Blackswan Space integrating their Mission Design Simulator with the real-time robotic manipulation capabilities of MoveIt Pro. As in-orbit operations expand—across RPO, inspection, servicing, and debris mitigation—the need for unified mission + robotics simulation has never been greater. By pairing high-fidelity orbital dynamics with precise, certifiable manipulation control, mission teams will be able to design and validate robotic arm operations directly within their mission workflows. Our joint focus is making robotic arm simulation fast, intuitive, and accessible—enabling engineers to run realistic scenarios in minutes and evaluate concepts well before hardware deployment.

The conversation about cognitive robotics keeps evolving — and so does the technology. Our CEO Dave Grant shared his perspective on what it takes to make “smart robots” truly collaborative and safe with A3 - Association for Advancing Automation. A discussion that’s only grown more relevant over time. 🎥 Watch the full episode: The Age of Cognitive Robots: How Do We Get There? below.

Big News!!! PickNik Robotics expands MoveIt Pro support for Franka Robotics Research 3 (FR3) robot arm— enabling research teams to accelerate AI robotics with simulation, data collection, and hardware-ready policy deployment. New in MoveIt Pro for FR3: • Full robot models for single & dual arms • High-fidelity digital twins for training & testing • Tutorials for dataset collection & diffusion policies • Hardware setup guide to go from sim → real “With MoveIt Pro and Franka Research 3, teams can focus on innovation instead of integration.” — Dave Coleman, PhD, Founder & CPO Learn more: https://lnkd.in/enmHx8Xn #Robotics #AI #MoveItPro #Franka #Research #Simulation
