Robotiq Electric Grippers now packaged for Universal Robots

Since the release of Universal Robots' UR5 and UR10, we are compelled to admit the great fit of these robots with our 2-Finger and 3-Finger Adaptive Robot Grippers. Indeed, this Spring robots from Universal have become one of the most popular platform (in terms of sales) for our electric grippers.

Considering the popularity of our robot grippers and UR's robots, the engineers at Robotiq have designed a package for this collaborative robot which includes: A Robotiq Adaptive Gripper and its controller, a software component and a "How-to" Guide to easily and quickly program our 2-Finger Adaptive Robot Gripper on Polyscope - the Universal Robots controller.

The software component and the How-to guide are offered for free.
