Universal Robots unveiled its seventh-generation robotics platform, Gen 7, at the IMTS conference in Chicago on September 14, 2026. This platform features a unified system upgrade anchored by the PolyScope X robot operating system, which includes a reengineered control box, teach pendant, and tool flange.
The significance of Gen 7 lies in its ability to reduce integration friction and expand application capabilities, enabling customers to deploy advanced AI-powered applications confidently. With over 20 years of cobot innovation and more than 100,000 industrial deployments, the platform is designed to meet the demands of the AI era.
Looking ahead, Gen 7's advanced features, such as AI-ready tool flanges and enhanced force-torque sensing, position it as a key player in the evolution of collaborative robotics. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
