A ROS-Industrial meta-package providing support for Universal Robots manipulators, including URDF descriptions, meshes, drivers, and MoveIt integration. It enables controlling and simulating UR cobots within the Robot Operating System ecosystem.
Use cases
- control a UR5 robot arm from ROS
- simulate a UR10e in Gazebo with MoveIt motion planning
- get URDF descriptions and meshes for Universal Robots cobots
- integrate UR robots into an industrial ROS-Industrial workflow
- plan and execute pick-and-place trajectories on a UR robot
- set up a Catkin workspace with Universal Robots packages
When to choose
- you use Universal Robots arms with ROS1 (Noetic or earlier)
- you need official URDF models, meshes, and MoveIt configs for UR robots
- you want the community-supported ROS-Industrial driver stack for UR cobots
When to avoid
- you are starting a new project on ROS 2 (use the Universal_Robots_ROS2_Driver instead)
- you need a non-ROS or vendor-independent robot control solution
- you require strict OSI-compliant licensing for all assets, since some UR meshes have restricted terms
