ARC Pro (recommended)
ARC Pro enables the complete set of ARC features. It is the best choice for users who need full functionality and timely updates. Key benefits include:
- Create, publish, and distribute mobile apps for your robot.
- Use unlimited speech recognition commands for advanced voice control.
- Access cloud storage and integrate high-resolution cameras for object detection and computer vision.
- Receive the latest feature updates and bug fixes as they are released.
This edition is the most popular because it combines full capability with ongoing maintenance and support.
ARC Free
ARC Free lets you evaluate ARC and use it for basic projects. Some advanced features are restricted; see the feature comparison for details. ARC Free is suitable for learning, testing, and small-scale robot applications.
ARC Runtime (Free)
ARC Runtime is intended to run existing robot applications created with either the Free or Pro editions. It loads robot apps without limiting the number of robot skills or speech-recognition commands.
Important: Runtime does not include the Add Control or Config buttons and excludes third-party subscription services and cloud features (for example: Bing Speech Recognition, Cloud Storage, Azure Text-to-Speech, Cognitive Vision Recognition). Robot skills that depend on those services may require separate subscriptions or developer access.
ARC Mobile (Android & iOS)
The older ARC Mobile edition is no longer receiving updates or bug fixes and has been superseded by ARC-Lite. For on-device control and a modern remote interface, we recommend using the Remote UI feature available in ARC-Lite: Remote UI.
ARC Mobile was designed for remote control on the go and therefore had limitations: it could not load third‑party robot skills and many built‑in skills were unavailable. If you relied on ARC Mobile, review the Interface Builder robot-skill documentation to confirm which skills remain supported. ARC-Lite provides a closer replacement focused on education, although it retains some of the same limitations.
