However, they are biased and incomplete in that they will always present one brand&#8217;s robots in a good light and usually completely ignore other robot brands.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Robot supplier sites \u2014 <\/strong>A lot of information you can find about robots comes from robot integrators and suppliers. This is more impartial than manufacturer blogs but it is not completely unbiased as many robot supplier sites are partnered with specific brands.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Robot_News-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Robot_News-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Robot_News-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Robot_News-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Robot_News-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Robot_News.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What If There Was an Unbiased Source of Data About Robot Products?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wouldn&#8217;t it be great if there was an unbiased source of information about any robot-related products?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A directory that was created by someone just like you \u2014 an enthusiastic robot user who is just interested in getting the most from robots?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, such a directory does exist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Introducing\u2026 the Industrial Robot (simple) Database<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Industrial Robot (simple) Database (aka IRsDB) is not some big, expensive market project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a small, basic information database that has been created by M\u00e1rcio Massula Jr., an industrial robot programmer from Curitiba, Brasil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>M\u00e1rcio is quite an active user on our <a name=\"https:\/\/robodk.com\/forum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/robodk.com\/forum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RoboDK Forum<\/a>. He has worked in robotics for over 20 years, working on a huge range of robotics projects \u2014 from small projects of just one robot right up to gigantic projects with more than 200 robots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in 2016, he realized that he needed to start collating a source of information about all of the robots and robot tools that are available on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He created the IRsDB, a simple Google Spreadsheet that contains basic information about robot brands, robot resources, and robot simulators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A couple of years ago, he released his directory to the wider robotics community so that we can all benefit from his work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s In the IRsDB Directory?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>M\u00e1rcio is constantly updating and refining the IRsDB directory, but at the time of writing he has included the following four categories of information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Robot Brands\/Manufacturers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the hardest things to find when you&#8217;re thinking about purchasing a new robot is a list of all the different manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Many_Robot_Brands-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Many_Robot_Brands-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Many_Robot_Brands-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Many_Robot_Brands-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Many_Robot_Brands.jpg 1084w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With over 90 robot brands at the time of writing, the IRsDB provides a good overview of the different industrial robot brands that you might encounter. It doesn&#8217;t mention all robot brands (yet) and the information is very basic but it&#8217;s a lot more comprehensive than other lists you might find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Information includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A link to each robot manufacturer&#8217;s website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A few helpful notes about some of the brands.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The country of origin of each brand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Specifics about the type of robot that some brands offer, including if they only offer cobots, if the robots come with a controller, and if they have a teach pendant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Robot Resources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is often difficult to know where to start looking for sources of information about robots. There are a lot of robot sites out there, but it&#8217;s not always obvious which ones are used by robot users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The database currently includes 12 robot-related resources that M\u00e1rcio uses. This is a very small list and could certainly be improved, but it does provide a few good starting points if you&#8217;re looking to expand your knowledge of robot sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Programming Tools<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not particularly robotic-related, the Tools section of IRsDB contains some miscellaneous programming tools that M\u00e1rcio uses in his robot programming. One of the most useful things about this section of the database is the notes that he has added about whether the tool is free or paid and descriptions of some of the tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, he notes that VSCode is a &#8220;Text editor that is trending among robot programmers.&#8221; This is exactly why <a name=\"https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/vscode-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/vscode-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">we incorporated the tool into RoboDK<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Robot Simulators<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the database has an impressively comprehensive section on robot simulators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this is where <a href=\"https:\/\/robodk.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RoboDK<\/a> shows up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u00b4s more, the data shows that RoboDK currently supports more robot brands than any other simulator \u2014 with 50 different robot brands supported (a number that we&#8217;ll continue to increase).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The database includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A link to each simulator&#8217;s website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether or not the simulator is brand agnostic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which robot brands do the simulator support and how many \u2014 with RoboDK currently out in the lead by a long margin!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"604\" src=\"https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/simulation-e1453802282591-1024x604.png\" alt=\"robot simulation\" class=\"wp-image-19\" srcset=\"https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/simulation-e1453802282591-1024x604.png 1024w, https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/simulation-e1453802282591-300x177.png 300w, https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/simulation-e1453802282591-768x453.png 768w, https:\/\/robodk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/simulation-e1453802282591.png 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check Out the Industrial Robot (simple) Database Today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in getting a quick view of the robotics industry, M\u00e1rcio&#8217;s IRsDB is a great place to start your search. It will help you to start your research on the right foot and will give you an overview of the available robot brands and a clear perspective on the robot simulators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a
