The cobot pioneer will redefine the frontiers of physical AI, showcasing how the ‘ChatGPT moment for robots’ has arrived in a wide range of applications.

Driven by a joint vision of a world without labor shortages, the workforce solutions company and leading cobot supplier have partnered up to provide North American manufacturers with fast, flexible automation.

With rapid workplace transformation evident across industries, whether that’s moving to hybrid working or adopting new technologies, what can we expect from 2023? Anders Beck, Vice President of Strategy and Innovation at Universal Robots, discusses five predictions for the coming year.

The strain placed on global supply chains this year continues to make headline news, from semiconductor shortages to labour and equipment availability, all exacerbated by geopolitical uncertainty.

Universal Robots, the Danish manufacturer of collaborative robots, has announced that it will add a new 20kg cobot to its product range. Called the UR20, the cobot boasts an all-new design based on Universal Robots’ experience in highly refined engineering and is the latest addition to the company’s strong portfolio of cobots.

The market leader in collaborative robotics will show attendees at North America’s largest supply chain expo how cobots can automate new hard-to-staff palletizing and piece-picking tasks in new applications from partners including Mujin and RightHand Robotics.

As labor issues persist, Universal Robots, the pioneering leader of collaborative robotics, will show PACK EXPO attendees automated solutions for hard-to-staff tasks such as box erecting and palletizing. Powering many of these applications is the company’s most popular cobot, the UR10e, now able to lift 25% more.

Universal Robots’ best-selling robot UR10e is launching with an increased payload, enabling the cobot to serve even more applications and handle heavier items while improving overall productivity for customers.

To better address demand for its popular ActiNav flexible machine loading system, Universal Robots announces the following integrators as ActiNav Solutions Providers to assist end users in ActiNav deployments.

Integrating Universal Robots‘ collaborative robots into complex machines and manufacturing environments will soon be a process machine builders and systems integrators can seamlessly handle through one of the world’s leading automation platforms; Siemens’ TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) portal.
