The UR10 is an extraordinarily versatile collaborative industrial robot, delivering both high payload (12.5 kg) lift and long reach (1300mm) which makes it well suited for a wide range of applications in machine tending, palletizing, and packaging. 

Our ‘Inspector Gadget’ UR10 robotic platform captures 3D models of everyday objects by using a sensor attached to the end of the robot . The robot arm and rotating turntable move together so the 3D sensor can see different parts of the object. The Surface Edge Explorer (SEE) algorithm identifies sensor positions from which unseen parts of the object can be observed. New 3D images are captured from these sensor positions until a complete 3D model of the object has been obtained.
