AutoDesk acquired Robot a few years ago. Probably as a response to Bentley buying out RAM and STAAD.
For whatever reason, Robot has never done very well in the North American market. It makes a big push every decade or so. But, it never seems to gain any real market share. Even though it is known as a solid program over in Europe. Maybe with AutoDesk behind its next push it will have more luck. Especially if they do a good job of interacting with Revit.
That being said, the idea of doing your ANALYSIS within Revit is one that I would move away from very quickly. Revit is meant for drafting, drawing production and BIM. It's hard to understand the complexities of load management (skip loading, live load reduction, load combinations, et cetera) within a program like that. I'd be much more excited about a real solid link between a good analysis program and Revit. If Robot is the company that does that best, then it's worth trying out.
Caveat: I used to work for RISA, though I no longer do. I wasn't too involved in the Revit interaction / integration when I was there. But, I know the company put a lot of effort into it. That was, of course, before they were acquired by Nemetschek.
I have this fear that these larger entities (Nemetschek, Bentley, and AutoDesk) are going to start favoring their "in-house" analysis solutions and only paying lip service to working with the others. And, vice versa as well. Maybe these various analysis programs will devote all their development energy into working with the BIM package from their parent company and stop significant development on working with the others. That would be very unfortunate. Thankfully, I don't yet see any whispers of this happening at RISA. But, it would be interesting to hear if others have experienced this sort of thing with Robot, RAM, STAAD... or even RISA (since I'm no longer in the loop with all things RISA).
