I don't see how it accesses the network yet. It seems like a glorified remote desktop app - but maybe it references more devices on the client? So, perhaps it uses the client's endpoint for networking. If so, then yeah you should be able to. But that's a high cost to do so... a virtual machine can run you hundreds per month.

Fancy Remote Desktop is what I thought as well.  It doesn’t look like all features are available for IOS on the prerelease yet so I guess we wait and find out. They said it will replace office 365 app so if the pricing is the same may make it viable. I would rather have a cell phone in my pocket than carry around a laptop.

But also remember that ARCx will work off your phone, iPad, TV, or anything with a web browser. But you still have a few months to wait for it (march-ish). Right now, there are five robot skills or something. Haha, because the framework is what takes most of the effort. I'll post a pic of it running on my phone one second...

I’m on my phone, so here are screenshots. What’s nice about the web version is that it changes the display based on screen size. So it’s easier to program on a smaller mobile display than on a Remote Desktop.

Remember, this isn’t running on the phone. It’s on a Raspberry Pi in a robot. But it can be macOS, Linux, or Windows.  I’m just viewing the UI from my phone.  But I can also view the UI from my tv web browser. Or my laptop browser, etc

That's nice. Thanks for the preview. I'm curious and looking forward to seeing how it will look on a windows laptop screen.

Here you go...

Oh, before anyone comments on the dark theme, it works with your computer's configuration. So, if you don't have Dark enabled, then you get the bright theme. My screenshots will always be dark because I want my eyes to work when I'm older.

Think of it this way... ARCx is a collection of your feedback, complaints, and compliments over the last 13 years. I don't think it's missing anything. It has more help than you'll ever imagine. There are links to manuals absolutely everywhere. Everything is searchable. The forum and Athena are built-in, so you can converse with others or get help while programming. It has a fully customizable UI for your robot projects. You can build actual, real, true, fully distributable apps with custom user interfaces. You can password-protect projects and even password-protect the ARCx program. You can disable editing of configuration screens for robot skills. Multiple people can work on the same project simultaneously (one person per workspace). You can do everything you've ever wanted, plus more.

Oh, and you can remotely connect to it from anywhere in the world. You can host it in the cloud, on your laptop, or directly on the robot. It doesn't need a powerful computer; it'll run on a ten-year-old Raspberry Pi. It runs 64-bit and can use all the new machine-learning libraries and GPUs with CUDA. It can distribute parallel processing across multi-cpu servers. It has chain effects for audio and video. Creating robot skills and custom UIs is like making a webpage. It can support up to 200 servos per EZB (100 virtual and 100 onboard). It'll support up to 100 digital ports per ezb. It has built-in forward and reverse kinematics, making any robot arms easier to program. Uhm, I don't even know what else to say....

It just does everything.
