Universal Robots A/S
World's #1 cobot manufacturer (40%+ global share)
The world's largest collaborative robot manufacturer with 40%+ global market share. Pioneer of the cobot industry — sold the first commercial cobot in 2008. The UR lineup is the benchmark against which all Chinese cobots are compared. As of 2026 it splits into two families: the e-Series (UR3e, UR7e, UR12e, UR16e) and the higher-performance UR Series (UR8 Long, UR15, UR18, UR20, UR30). The 2026 refresh retired the two most-quoted model names in the industry — the UR5e became the UR7e with payload raised to 7.5kg, and the UR10e was renamed the UR12e with specs unchanged. Part of Teradyne Inc. Pricing runs roughly $38,000-$63,000 for the robot arm alone.
