ARC Pro (recommended)
ARC Pro provides the full set of ARC features and is the best choice for users who need complete functionality and ongoing 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 is the most popular edition because it combines full capability with continuous maintenance and support.
ARC Free
ARC Free is designed for evaluation and basic projects. Some advanced features are restricted; refer to the feature comparison for details. It is a good option for learning, testing, and small-scale robot applications.
ARC Runtime (Free)
ARC Runtime is intended for running existing robot applications created in 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 it excludes third-party subscription services and cloud features such as Bing Speech Recognition, Cloud Storage, Azure Text-to-Speech, and Cognitive Vision Recognition. Robot skills that rely on these 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The older ARC Mobile edition is no longer receiving updates or bug fixes and has been replaced by ARC-Lite. For on-device control and a modern remote interface, we recommend using the Remote UI feature in ARC-Lite.
ARC Mobile was designed for remote control while on the go, so it had limitations. It could not load third-party robot skills, and many built-in skills were unavailable. If you previously relied on ARC Mobile, review the Interface Builder robot-skill documentation to confirm which skills are still supported. ARC-Lite is a closer replacement focused on education, although it retains some of the same limitations.
