This marks a significant growth in the ecosystem since it
started in 2016 with the ambition of making Universal Robots (UR)
an open-source-like platform that would empower developers to
create groundbreaking solutions. Today, the UR+ ecosystem offers a
wide range of components, kits, applications and solutions within
both hardware and software designed to meet various customer
needs.
“Universal Robots is built on collaboration and this milestone
clearly indicates that we are the preferred platform in
collaborative robotics,” said Kim Povlsen, President of Universal
Robots. “We have an amazing ecosystem with hundreds of partner
companies spanning from small developer start-ups to established
and well-known brands. It’s truly a versatile and ever-expanding
ecosystem.”
The UR ecosystem offers products from simple applications like
grippers to full solutions for tasks like palletizing and welding.
The development of full solutions has been a clear trend in recent
years with an increasing focus within the ecosystem on offering
customers turnkey solutions to fit the most common automation
needs.
Another important trend is rapid growth in the number of
applications and solutions based on AI technology. The company has
also added new products designed for compatibility with its new
generation heavy payload cobots.
“Our ecosystem is growing faster than ever and with physical AI
as the new locomotive in robotics, we will continue to see new and
groundbreaking innovations being added to our ecosystem at a high
pace,” said Povlsen. “For UR, it’s all about providing choice to
our customers through easy-to-use technology and, together with our
partners, constantly pushing the boundaries of what can be
automated and how simple it can be done.”
