Build Smarter. Deploy Faster.
Robotics software, built for humans
PolyScope is designed around how people actually work on the factory floor. Its intuitive touch-friendly interface combines guided programming flows and graphical node-based logic with advanced scripting capabilities, making it accessible for operators while remaining powerful for engineers and developers.
Designed for real-world deployment
Deployment
PolyScope is included with every Universal Robots system and works consistently across the portfolio. Familiar workflows, built-in guidance, and proven software stability help customers move from first deployment to scaled rollouts with confidence.
User experience
PolyScope balances ease of use with technical depth. Operators benefit from guided workflows and clear feedback, while integrators and developers gain access to flexible programming, APIs, and customization through URCaps.
Safety
Safety is inherent in PolyScope, with certified functions that cannot be overridden by software. This ensures predictable operation in real‑world production environments, independent of application logic or AI behavior.
Configurable safety features let you define how the system behaves in your specific cell, including:
- power and force limiting
- reduced mode speed zones
- safe positioning and orientation limits
Core platform capabilities
Polyscope's core capabilities form the foundation of the software platform, defining how robots are programmed, motion is controlled and systems communicate.
Programming
PolyScope supports multiple programming methods across skill levels, from graphical node‑based programming and scripting to partner‑built extensions (URCaps), with interfaces for communication with external systems.
Motion control
Built on deterministic real-time control, PolyScope provides precise, predictable motion behavior. Access to robot dynamics and state data enables advanced applications without compromising reliability.
Integration
PolyScope is open by design. Standardized APIs enable integration with PLCs, vision systems, IT/OT infrastructure, and third‑party devices and software, supporting everything from traditional automation to AI‑driven solutions.
Additional software options
Polyscope's core capabilities form the foundation of the software platform, defining how robots are programmed, motion is controlled and systems communicate.
AI Accelerator
UR’s AI Accelerator makes it easier to bring AI into real robotic applications, combining industrial compute, software, and robot access into a single platform.
Motion Plus
Extend motion capabilities beyond the robot arm itself. Motion Plus synchronizes robot movement with external axes and equipment, enabling more complex and coordinated automation cells.
PROFIsafe
