UR3e – compact collaborative robot for teaching and research laboratories
The UR3e is the smallest arm from Universal Robots, designed for applications where precision, limited workspace and easy integration are important. Its smal size and flexible configuration make it well suited for robotics, automation, mechatronics and control engineering laboratories. The robot can be used both in introductory teaching and in more advanced research projects.
Practical teaching of robotics and automation
The UR3e can support a wide range of laboratory exercises related to collaborative robotics and industrial automation. It can be used for:
- teaching robot motion and sequence programming,
- pick-and-place exercises,
- object handling and tool operation,
- integration with PLC controllers,
- working with sensors and vision systems,
- assembly and inspection exercises,
The arm can be equipped with additional accessories, for example:
- 2- or 3-finger gripper
- Pressure gripper (electric or pneumatic)
- Miniature conveyor belt for teaching
- Camera
- Automatic screwdriver
UR3e as a flexible platform for laboratory development
The compact design makes the robot easy to install on a laboratory table or integrate into an existing teaching setup. The UR3e can be used as a stand-alone workstation for robot programming or as part of a larger automation system including PLC control, machine vision, conveyors and additional devices. This makes it possible to start with a basic setup and expand the laboratory step by step without replacing the main robotic platform.

What teaching and research applications can the UR3e be used for?
The UR3e can be used in robotics, automation, mechatronics and control engineering laboratories. Students and researchers can use it for robot programming, motion planning, manipulation, human-robot collaboration and integration with sensors, vision systems and automation equipment. It can also be used as a platform for developing custom research setups.
How can the UR3e be programmed, and is it suitable for both beginners and advanced projects?
The UR3e includes a teach pendant with PolyScope software, which allows students to create basic robot applications without advanced programming skills. The robot can also be used in more advanced projects involving system integration, control and communication with external devices.
Can the UR3e be integrated with other laboratory equipment?
Yes. The robot controller provides digital and analog I/O as well as industrial communication interfaces such as PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, TCP/IP and Modbus TCP. This allows the UR3e to work with PLCs, cameras, sensors, grippers, conveyors and other laboratory equipment.
What safety features does the UR3e provide, and can it be used by students?
The UR3e is a collaborative robot with built-in safety functions, including force and collision detection. Safety planes and reduced operating modes can also be configured to limit robot motion. These functions make it easier to design laboratory setups where students and the robot share the same workspace.
