No deployment evidence on file
A deployment is recorded when a public source names both the customer and the robot, or the maker confirms it. Nothing here counts against Realtime Robotics.
In Cobot, Universal Robots A/S, FANUC and Kassow Robots ApS have deployment evidence on file.
Add a deployment →Realtime Robotics builds RapidPlan, software for collision-free robot motion planning and programming, and RapidSense, a related sensing solution for industrial and collaborative robots. The company says its tools help manufacturers design, deploy, and optimize automation faster across robotic workcells, with use cases in industrial automation and collaborative robot applications. It is based in Boston and operates in the US and internationally through manufacturing-focused partnerships and customers.

Why Realtime Robotics has been in the news, across 5 outlets, collected and classified independently, so a maker cannot add to it. It never changes a robot's RoboScore (the evidence half of the RoboIndex) and it can move a robot up a board by at most 15 points.
