Universal Robots+ is a 'showroom' which, the company says, aims to provide quick access to accessories, end-effectors, and software solutions.

It says the new system could “save weeks and even months in the integration process”, from concept to operation of the UR robots.

Featuring capabilities in the Universal Robots+ showroom is free of charge for developers.
