Arcx 2026.10.05.03

ARCx v2026.10.05.03 sharpens the way robots see the world and gives you a better view of what ARCx itself is doing behind the scenes.

This release introduces a new FaceDetector implementation for improved face tracking, adds real-time CPU and memory monitoring directly to the ARCx interface, expands documentation for speech recognition and object tracking, and includes a round of internal cleanup and dependency updates.

Your robot gets better awareness.

And now, so do you.

New Face Detection System

ARCx's face detection has been reorganized and rebuilt around a new dedicated FaceDetector class.

This provides a cleaner foundation for robots that need to:

• Find people
• Track faces
• Keep a camera pointed toward someone
• React when a person enters the camera view
• Build interactive human-robot experiences

Face detection is one of those features that immediately makes a robot feel more alive.

Now ARCx has a cleaner system underneath it.

Computer Vision Cleanup

Face detection and color detection components have also been reorganized into the Robot Skills structure.

This helps separate reusable robot functionality from the ARCx core and keeps the platform easier to maintain as additional computer vision capabilities are added.

Less clutter in the core.

More capability where Robot Skills actually need it.

Live CPU & Memory Monitoring

Wondering what your robot computer is doing while everything is running?

Now ARCx can tell you.

A new System Status display has been added directly to the top bar, providing real-time information about:

• CPU utilization
• Memory usage
• Current system load

You can quickly see how hard the robot computer is working without leaving ARCx.

Know When You're Pushing the Hardware

Modern robots can be running a lot at once:

Computer vision.

Speech recognition.

Neural networks.

Audio processing.

Navigation.

Multiple Robot Skills.

Scripts.

Sensors.

And sometimes all of them at the same time.

The new system status indicators give you immediate visual feedback when the computer starts getting busy.

That makes it much easier to understand whether a slowdown is coming from the robot skill you're working on or simply because you've asked a tiny robot computer to contemplate the universe.

New Speech Recognition Documentation

We've added new documentation covering speech recognition in ARCx.

The guide walks through how speech recognition can be configured and used within robot projects, helping users get from microphone input to voice-controlled robots faster.

Voice remains one of the most natural ways to interact with a robot, and we're continuing to make those capabilities easier to discover and build with.

New Vision Object Tracking Documentation

We've also added a new manual covering vision object tracking.

The documentation provides setup and usage guidance for building Robot Skills and projects that respond to objects detected through a camera.

Combined with ARCx's growing computer vision capabilities, this gives developers a clearer path toward robots that can observe and react to their surroundings.

Updated Dependencies & Internal Cleanup

A number of project dependencies have been updated to newer versions, along with internal restructuring and maintenance work.

These aren't always the changes that make the screenshots, but they're important for keeping ARCx:

• Stable
• Maintainable
• Compatible with current libraries
• Ready for new Robot Skills and capabilities

ARCx v2026.10.05.03

Installer and project versioning have been updated for the new release, ensuring ARCx reports and installs as v2026.10.05.03.

ARCx v2026.10.05.03 gives robots a better way to find the people around them while giving developers a better way to see what's happening inside the robot computer.

Better vision. Better monitoring. Better robots.
