Universal Robots Deepens Collaboration with MathWorks and Empowering Engineers with Advanced Cobot Applications.
About Universal Robots:
Universal Robots is a leading provider of collaborative robots (cobots) used across various industries and in education. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Odense, Denmark, Universal Robots aims to create a world where people work with robots, not like robots.
Universal Robots Deepens Collaboration with MathWorks
In the ever-evolving landscape of robotics and automation, collaboration is key to driving innovation and pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
Universal Robots, a pioneer in collaborative robot (cobot) technology, has once again demonstrated its commitment to fostering advancements in the field by expanding its partnership with MathWorks, the leading developer of mathematical computing software.
The latest development in this partnership sees Universal Robots joining the MathWorks Connections Program, a testament to their shared goal of empowering engineers to develop cutting-edge cobot applications seamlessly.
By leveraging the power of MATLAB® and Simulink® from MathWorks, engineers now have a comprehensive toolkit at their disposal for designing, simulating, testing, and deploying cobot applications onto Universal Robots’ cobots.
This collaboration is not merely symbolic but practical, as evidenced by the joint efforts of the two companies in co-developing a support package for Robotics System Toolbox™. Launched in 2023, this toolbox has empowered engineers to accelerate the pace of innovation in automation workflows, further solidifying Universal Robots’ position as a market leader in the industry.
Jim Tung, MathWorks Fellow, aptly encapsulates the significance of this partnership, highlighting how it enables integrators and end-users to tackle ever-more complex automation challenges with confidence.
With Universal Robots’ market leadership complemented by the capabilities of MATLAB and Simulink, the stage is set for groundbreaking advancements in robotics and automation.
Jesper Kildegaard Poulsen, Senior Director of Digital Ecosystems at Universal Robots, echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the shared vision of simplifying advanced cobot deployments for robotics engineers.
This commitment to simplification aligns perfectly with Universal Robots’ mission of making automation accessible to anyone, anywhere.
The collaboration between Universal Robots and MathWorks extends beyond software integration, as evidenced by their joint participation in events like the Autonomous Robot Manipulation Challenge. By organizing such events, the two companies not only foster innovation but also nurture the next generation of robotics researchers and engineers.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the deepening partnership between Universal Robots and MathWorks heralds a new era of collaboration and innovation in the field of robotics and automation.
By combining their expertise and resources, they are not only advancing the capabilities of cobot technology but also empowering engineers to realize their vision of a more automated future.
