The upgrading of consumption has generated a demand for small and multi batch orders, and traditional rigid production cannot respond quickly. Manufacturing production urgently needs flexible transformation and upgrading, and the manufacturing production mode is developing towards small batch and short cycle. The demand is for flexible automatic production lines that can be quickly and flexibly replaced, which also means that the production mode is shifting towards flexible manufacturing, and the human-machine relationship is changing.

The original intention of UR collaborative robots is to achieve human-machine collaborative work, which can achieve human-machine integration within a certain range without installing fences. Therefore, the emergence of UR collaborative robots has changed production relations and broken down barriers between humans and machines.

Firstly, from a business perspective, UR collaborative robots are the fastest-growing category in the industrial robot market, with performance superior to six axis robots, collaborative robots, and other traditional industrial robots, and have become the direction pursued by the market. In addition, compared to traditional industrial robots, competition for UR collaborative robots is easier.

In addition, the UR collaborative robot is a humanoid robotic arm designed to replace human hands. We can see that in unmanned retail areas such as coffee shops and milk tea stations, the UR collaborative robot can not only perform simple actions such as picking up cups, placing materials, and pressing buttons, but also pull flowers with high consistency. The existing UR collaborative robot product matrix is based on human design logic, including extreme motion and dynamics design, modular hardware structure design, flexible and reliable adaptation software, multilingual combination, etc.

In practical applications, UR collaborative robots can also carry various end effectors, visual sensors, force control sensors, and can collaborate with AGV vehicles to form composite robots, further expanding the application space of robots.

Another main characteristic of UR collaborative robots is imagination and openness. Just as Apple's advantage lies not in hardware, but in the operating system, all users interested in product development can develop their own applications on its system. The direction of UR collaborative robots is also the same, the core of collaborative robots is not hardware, but platform.

Therefore, by building UR collaborative robots into an application platform, users with certain process knowledge or expertise in vertical fields can use platform collaborative robots on the application side to promote rapid and automatic product landing, enabling end users to enjoy plug and play services. At present, UR collaborative robot manufacturers are committed to collaborating with distributors, integrators, and ecosystem partners to create robot station solutions for users.
