Universal Robots
An official ROS2 driver for Universal Robots manipulators, enabling advanced control and integration with the ROS ecosystem.
What is Universal Robots?
Universal Robots ROS2 Driver is an open-source software package that provides a hardware interface and control system for Universal Robots' industrial robotic arms within the ROS2 framework. It enables communication, trajectory control, and safety feature integration for UR robots, allowing them to be programmed and operated using ROS2 tools and ecosystems. The driver solves the problem of integrating commercial industrial robots with modern, open-source robotics software for research, education, and flexible industrial automation.
Robotics researchers, educators, and industrial automation engineers who use Universal Robots manipulators and want to control them via ROS2 for advanced applications like motion planning, simulation, and system integration.
Developers choose this driver because it's the official, feature-complete ROS2 solution from Universal Robots, offering built-in safety compliance, full robot line support, and seamless integration with MoveIt2 for motion planning. Its development on top of the Universal_Robots_Client_Library ensures reliability and access to native cobot functionalities.
