Universal Robots and MathWorks strengthen their collaboration and join the Connections program

In today's industrial automation field, collaborative robots have become an emerging force that cannot be ignored. As a leader in this field, Universal Robots recently announced that it has joined MathWorks' Connections program to further expand its cooperation with the company.

Previously, the two companies have worked closely together to develop the Robotics System Toolbox support package launched in 2023. Engineers can use MathWorks' MATLAB and Robotics System Toolbox to design, simulate, test and deploy collaborative robot applications to UR collaborative robots.

Last year, MathWorks became a UR+ partner, joining the Universal Robots ecosystem, which consists of more than 300 companies developing products for the UR platform.

Collaborative robots are a new type of robot that are designed to work safely and efficiently with humans in the same workspace. Unlike traditional industrial robots , collaborative robots are more flexible, intelligent and easy to program, and can be quickly adjusted and redeployed according to actual needs.

Universal Robots is a global leader in collaborative robots, and its products have been widely used in manufacturing, service and even education. With precise control, excellent performance and outstanding safety, Universal Robots has brought unprecedented automation efficiency to various industries.

As a pioneer in engineering computing software, MathWorks has long been committed to providing innovative solutions for engineers and scientists. Its flagship product MATLAB is a technical computing language and a programming environment for algorithm development, data analysis, visualization, and numerical computing.

The cooperation between Universal Robots and MathWorks fits the general trend of industrial automation development today. With the continuous integration of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine vision , collaborative robots are moving towards a more intelligent and automated direction.

With the help of MathWorks' powerful mathematical modeling and algorithm development capabilities, Universal Robots will be able to empower its collaborative robots with more intelligent functions to meet the needs of various complex application scenarios.

The powerful combination of the two companies will surely give birth to more innovative results and accelerate the popularization and application of collaborative robots in various industries. They are working together to write a new chapter in the future of intelligent collaboration.
