Universal Robots has unveiled Gen 7, a seventh-generation robotics platform redesigned from controller to tool flange to be AI-ready and simpler to deploy in industrial operations.

UR+ ecosystem demonstrations from 20+ partners—including Cognex, Schunk, Magswitch, Smooth Robotics, Psyonic, Robotiq, and Inbolt—showcase physical AI, machine vision, and gripping running directly on UR hardware.

The g-Series tool flange integrates data, power, and safety for cameras and sensors, reducing cabling and enabling high-bandwidth sensing for real-time AI workloads.

The press release notes that the information is provided by Universal Robots, with Yonhap serving as a content provider.

A Singapore-focused survey on AI adoption and strategic hiring, conducted by Reeracoen Group and Rakuten Insight, indicates Singaporean businesses are investing in AI and selective hiring to build future-ready workforces.

A founder/lead quote from Inbolt CEO Rudy Cohen accompanies the release, and UR is positioned as part of Teradyne Robotics with an emphasis on ecosystem strength.

Teradyne emphasizes that AI commands are regulated by the safety controller, ensuring unsafe instructions can be rejected to maintain safe operation.

Gen 7 features safety and cybersecurity with a PLd, Category 3 ISO 13849-1 architecture; UR g-Series carries TUV-certified ISO 10218-1 and UL1740, plus IEC 62443-4-1 ML3 cybersecurity certification.

PolyScope X provides modern programming tools, ISO 10218-1 safety, cybersecurity compliance, open APIs, and ROS 2, enabling edge-AI applications and easier access to third-party software and ecosystem partners.

CB7 Core controller delivers 40% more compute in a smaller footprint, supports multi-network communication with PLCs, HMIs, MES, IPCs, and vision systems, and is available as standalone or cabinet-integrated versions compatible with e-Series and UR Series arms.

Inbolt’s native vision integration on UR controllers via PolyScope X eliminates external PCs and cabling, enabling rapid production onboarding.

TP7 Core teach pendant weighs over 20% less with enhanced ergonomics and a new virtual joystick, while SP7 Smart Panel enables safety-enabled freedrive, LED indicators, and two-hand operation for high-safety tasks.
