Universal Robots

What they make

Universal Robots created the collaborative-arm category and still sets the reference for how quickly a non-specialist can get an arm doing useful work.

What a buyer should know

The reason to choose UR is the ecosystem: UR+ certified end-effectors and a teaching interface a technician can learn in a day, which is what actually determines whether a cobot gets used after the pilot. Payload tops out lower than industrial arms — if you need reach and mass, look elsewhere.
