Universal Robots+ is a 'showroom' which, the company says, aims to provide quick access to accessories, end-effectors, and software solutions.

It says the new system could “save weeks and even months in the integration process”, from concept to operation of the UR robots.
 
Universal Robots has also announced the launch of +YOU, a free developer program offering a marketing and support platform for UR-robot application developers.

Featuring capabilities in the Universal Robots+ showroom is free of charge for developers.
