UR Studio simulator validates cobot setups before deployment

Universal Robots (UR) has launched UR Studio, a new online simulation tool designed to validate collaborative robot (cobot) setups before deployment. Built on UR’s open, AI-ready PolyScope X software platform, UR Studio enables users—including customers, partners, and integrators—to create accurate 1:1 virtual simulations of workcells. The tool allows testing of robot movements, reach, speed, workflow, and cycle time calculations, helping users optimize efficiency and performance. UR Studio supports interaction with UR’s robot portfolio and various components such as pallets, machines, workpieces, and end effectors, with options to customize or import elements to closely mimic real-world environments. This capability helps identify potential issues early, reducing downtime and costly adjustments. The simulator is free, browser-based with no installation needed, and currently offers templates for common applications like machine tending, screwdriving, palletizing, and pick-and-place, with plans to expand. UR Studio is initially available in English, with German, Spanish,
