26.5 - June 2026

Within fast succession to 26.4 follows Wandelbots NOVA release 26.5 with a light amount of updates, ideal for the summer.

What’s new?

• An experimental endpoint for Waypoint Jogging  was added.

Supported robots

Added support for 2 new robots:

FANUC

• ArcMate 100iC/12S
• M-10iA/12S

For an up to date overview of all supported controllers and motion groups (robotic arms and external axes), refer to the Compatibility section.

What’s better?

App Store app names centered on homescreen

The label text on apps installed from the App Store is now centered and thus aligned with the system apps’ appearance.

New parameter in Plan collision-free trajectory

The Plan collision-free trajectory  endpoint now accepts an additional optional parameter called ‘collision_setups’. With this, it is possible to reference any ‘collision_setups’ or collision components that were uploaded to the storage service via a key, such as with the endpoint Store Collision Setup  or Store Collider . Before, it was only possible to give these values in the request.

On their final mission

As announced in a previous release , the deprecation period of NOVA API v1 and Wandelscript will come to an end and both will be removed with Wandelbots NOVA 26.6. Please migrate your API calls to v2 and your robot programs to the Python SDK.

Technical details

For an up to date overview of all compatible dependencies, refer to the Compatibility section.

Action required: Updated proxy allowlist for ACR image layer downloads

wandelbots.germanywestcentral.data.azurecr.io' is now listed as a required domain in the proxy allowlist and replaces the broad *.blob.core.windows.net wildcard for ACR image layer traffic.

If your NOVA OS installation runs behind a strict proxy, add wandelbots.germanywestcentral.data.azurecr.io to your proxy allowlist.

Compatibility table: Featuring package compatibility for NVIDIA Isaac Sim

The compatibility page now lists the Wandelbots USD Schema and Wandelbots NOVA extension packages for each supported NVIDIA Isaac Sim version, alongside the matching Kit SDK and Python version.

Simulation

Offline installation instructions added

The Simulation installation guide now documents how to install the Wandelbots USD Schema and Wandelbots NOVA extensions in NVIDIA Isaac Sim on systems without internet access.

Animation Recorder guide added

The Animation Recorder guide documents how to record motion trajectories during a simulation run in NVIDIA Isaac Sim and merge them into a scene for playback without physics computation.

Robotics basics: Cartesian pose and kinematic configuration explained

The Robotics basics page now explains cartesian pose and kinematic configuration.
