Founded by Esben Østergaard, Kasper Støy, and Kristian Kassow in 2005, Universal Robots aims to make robotic technology accessible to small and medium-sized businesses. In 2006, the first lightweight and flexible UR5 cobot was sold. In 2012, Universal Robots launched the first generation UR10, designed for manufacturers with heavier operations. Going far beyond simple automation, Universal Robots has changed the way people work and live around the world, empowering their ideas and dreams. Whether helping a non-profit organization improve the prospects of people in poorer countries or enabling a manufacturer to reduce the burden of repetitive tasks, we are there to support them.
In 2018, Universal Robots co-founder Esben Østergaard received the Engelberger Robotics Award from the American Robotic Industries Association (RIA). Often referred to as the "Nobel Prize" of robotics, the award recognizes the development of Universal Robots' collaborative robotic arms as one of the most significant technological breakthroughs in the robotics community over the last few decades. Our advanced, user-friendly robotic arms are used by companies and organizations of all sizes to better manage market volatility. UR cobots provide manufacturers with the flexibility and financial performance needed to compete and succeed in any market condition. Through the use of cutting-edge products supplied by globally certified partners, UR+ is the premier platform for manufacturers looking to create customized solutions to automate their operations, whether large or small.
