Universal Robots UR5e

A 6-axis, 5 kg-payload cobot from Universal Robots, common in both research and factories.

The UR5e is a collaborative robot arm, meaning an arm designed to work safely alongside people, from Danish manufacturer Universal Robots, released in June 2018 as part of its e-Series, succeeding the earlier UR5. It has 6 rotating joints, a 5 kg payload, an 850 mm reach, repeatability of ±0.03 mm, a built-in six-axis force/torque sensor at the wrist, and a touchscreen teach pendant for programming. Because it is reliable and has an open interface, RTDE, which allows real-time reading and writing of joint state, it is one of the most common pieces of hardware in robot-learning labs, and many real-robot datasets and VLA papers have used it.

Exampleπ0's training data includes manipulation data collected from both single-arm and dual-arm UR5e setups.
