Arcx 2026.10.12.00

ARCx 2026.10.12.00 is all about making your day-to-day workflow smoother while quietly leveling up what your robots can see and do. This release brings smarter workspace and task tooling to the UI, introduces a brand-new Depth Sensing service for depth cameras, and includes key reliability improvements (plus a few quality-of-life updates for docs, installer, and developer workflows).

Workspace & UI upgrades

• New "Add Workspace" dialog

  • Added UCAddWorkspaceDialog to make creating a new workspace fast and friendly.
  • Includes title validation so you can’t accidentally create an unnamed workspace.

• Layout integration + consistency improvements

  • Updated MainLayout, AnonymousLayout, and CustomUILayout to integrate the new workspace flow and keep behavior consistent across views.
  • Refactored layout structure to remove unnecessary dependencies and improve overall cleanliness and responsiveness.

• Updated styling

  • Refreshed arcx.css to match the new UI components and layout changes.

Built-in Task Management components

New task-focused UI components were added to help track and visualize work inside ARCx:

• Added task management components including:
  • UCTaskChart
  • UCTaskManager
  • UCTaskRing
• Added supporting task management service classes to back these new UI elements.

New: Depth Sensing service (Depth camera support)

ARCx now includes a dedicated Depth Sensing service to better support depth-enabled robotics projects:

• Introduced the DepthSensing service and core components, including:
  • DepthSensor
  • DepthFrame
  • DepthSensorService
• Updated the project to include the new depth sensing components.
• Documentation updated to reflect the new depth camera capabilities and service integration.

Movement Manager reliability improvement

• Improved MovementManagerService handling of custom movement switching
  • ARCx now detects changes in both custom movement ID and speed, preventing cases where switching movements at the same speed could fail silently.

Developer & power-user improvements

• New command-line option

  • Added --no-browser to the command line documentation, allowing ARCx to start without automatically opening a web browser.

• Cancelable build & upload operations

  • Added a CancellationToken parameter to BuildAsync and UploadAsync in RobotSkillDeveloperService.cs for better control over long-running async tasks.

Port enum safety fix (PWM/ADC and more)

To prevent incorrect usage and improve reliability:

• Removed the [Flags] attribute from these enumerations so ports aren’t mistakenly treated as combinable bitfields:
  • ADCPortEnum
  • DigitalPortEnum
  • PWMPortEnum
  • ServoPortEnum

Documentation updates

• Updated and expanded manuals/guides to cover:
  • New workspace and task-related UI additions
  • The new DepthSensorService (including updates in RobotSkill-Services-And-Core.md)
  • Updated RobotSkillAiPrompt.cs to reflect current service availability
• Corrected URL HTML entity representation in McpGuides.cs comments to improve guide clarity.

Installer & versioning

• Updated Windows installer configuration (product version and identifiers) to ensure installs match the latest build and release packaging.
