RoboDK does not have special hardware requirements as it can run on most computers, including Windows, Mac, Linux-based systems.

The following list shows the recommended hardware requirements:

1.Operating System: Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 or Windows 11 (32-bit or 64-bit version), Mac OS (64 bit), Ubuntu 16 or Ubuntu 18 (64 bit).

2.Memory: 2 GB minimum. Recommended 4 GB or more.

3.Graphics Configuration: A minimum 1024x768 pixel resolution display. The graphics driver should support OpenGL 3.0 or later. Graphics cards with hardware accelerated OpenGL including internal memory are recommended. Support for graphics is not required if you are running RoboDK as a process.

4.Hard Disk Drive Space: 15 GB, 1 GB free.

5.Mouse recommendation: 2-button (minimum), 3-button or 2-button with middle mouse wheel is recommended.

6.Internet: Internet connection is required to activate Network licenses (default licenses). Firewalls should not block ports 80 & 443 (Network licenses only). Alternatively, you can request a USB dongle license.

7.Certain features might require additional software to be installed in the same computer. For example, some drivers require special paid options sold by the robot manufacturer. Also, as another example, Fanuc's ROBOGUIDE software is required to compile Fanuc LS files to TP files if your Fanuc robot doesn't have the "ASCII Upload" option.

Note: Most issues related to hardware compatibility are related to missing or outdated graphics card drivers. You can also start RoboDK as a process without a user interface by passing the -NOUI command line option.

Robot calibration, performance testing and other options requiring external measurement systems are not included with the default RoboDK license. These features are sold as separate options, including updates and support. RoboDK licenses do not include any measurement systems or hardware of any kind.
