Realtime Robotics is a Boston-based industrial robotics software company that builds collision-free autonomous motion planning for multi-robot workcells. Its products are RapidPlan (the RapidPlan Create offline programming tool plus the on-premise Realtime Controller that plans and deconflicts robot motion at runtime), RapidSense (a sensor/perception layer that adds dynamic collision avoidance, volumes, markers and change detection), and Resolver (a cloud application that optimises cell layout and cycle time from simulation projects exported through Process Simulate, Visual Components and MELSOFT Gemini connectors). Its integration surface is machine-facing rather than web-facing: an inline-YAML ASCII command API over a TCP socket to the Realtime Controller, a REST interface for RapidSense, PROFINET and CC-Link IE Field Basic fieldbus interfaces for PLCs, and a published JSON Schema for the Resolver Operations Query. A public Resolver Cloud REST API is documented as under development and not yet publicly available.
Realtime Robotics is listed with 3 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Robotics, Motion Planning, Industrial Automation, and Manufacturing.
Realtime Robotics’ developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, signup flow, authentication, and 21 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market:
its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted:
not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted.
Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

description: Resolver is Realtime Robotics' cloud optimisation application, reached at app.resolver.rtr.ai (global) and
app-eu.resolver.rtr.ai (Europe). Work is submitted as a .zip study containing a project.yaml workcell description, a cad/
folder and an optional queries.json; Realtime Robotics publishes a JSON Schema for the queries.json Operations Query and
a written specification for project.yaml (rtr_yaml_version 4.2.0). The application's own /api surface is an authenticated
AWS API Gateway (anonymous requests answer 403 Missing Authentication Token) and the documentation states plainly that
the public REST API is under development and not yet publicly available.
