Universal Robots launches new online simulation tool

by

Universal Robots (UR), the world’s largest collaborative robot (cobot) company and a part of Teradyne Robotics, has launched UR Studio, which it describes as “a powerful online simulation tool built on PolyScope X, UR’s most advanced, open and AI-ready software platform”.

UR Studio – showcased at the UR booth at the automatica trade fair in Munich this week – enables customers, partners and integrators to build 1:1 online simulations of their work cell and simulate every key aspect of their setup.

With UR Studio, users can test robot movements, simulate reach, speed and workflow, and calculate cycle time, making it the simplest way to configure an optimised cell, maximising return on investment before deployment even starts.

Universal Robots offers new torque interface to empower research and innovation

by

Having the ability to directly control the torque of all the collaborative robot (cobot) joints opens vast opportunities for cobots to carry out demanding tasks.

But even for experienced cobot users and researchers, building your own software stack to enable this is both time consuming and challenging.

That’s why Universal Robots (UR) has developed a new low-level torque interface that gives access to control the target torque for all the joints of the UR cobot at 500 Hz. [Read more…] about Universal Robots offers new torque interface to empower research and innovation
