At IMTS, Universal Robots launches Gen 7, its seventh cobot generation: three g-Series arms (UR10g-1750, UR17g-1300, UR18g-950), a more powerful CB7 controller and a platform built for physical AI.

### Background On September 14, 2026, at IMTS in Chicago, Universal Robots launched Gen 7, the seventh generation of its cobot platform. The company presents it as a foundation for industrial automation and physical AI deployment: more onboard compute, more sensors and open interfaces to plug in AI models. ### Specifications - Three g-Series arms: UR10g-1750, UR17g-1300 and UR18g-950, named after payload in kilograms and reach in millimeters. - CB7 controller: 40% more computing power and 30% smaller footprint; standalone or cabinet-integration versions. - New tool flange designed for camera and sensor integration; built-in force-torque sensing and impedance control; Real-Time Data Exchange (RTDE). - PolyScope X operating system with open APIs and ROS 2 support. - TP7 teach pendant 20% lighter; PLd Category 3 safety, ISO 10218-1 and UL 1740 certifications, IEC 62443-4-1 ML3 cybersecurity. ### Why it matters Gen 7 extends Teradyne Robotics' push toward physical AI, already under way with the imitation learning system built with Scale AI in March 2026. The cobot becomes an open hardware platform for AI models trained elsewhere. ### Key takeaways Universal Robots' first new platform generation in years, focused on AI and connectivity rather than mechanical performance alone.
