Low-Level Torque Interface Empowers Innovation
December 1, 2025
Universal Robots (UR) has developed a new low-level torque interface that gives access to control the target torque for all the joints of the UR cobot at 500 Hz.
"These capabilities are becoming increasingly sought after within research and education, especially for AI," said Anders Billeso Beck, VP Technology for Universal Robots. "With our new interface, we are making it much easier for researchers and partners to work with direct torque control. Instead of spending a long time implementing alternative solutions, they can now focus immediately on their research or on developing new, innovative applications using the capabilities already incorporated into our PolyScope software."
Anders Billeso Beck sees particular potential for direct torque control in applications such as assembly and screw driving, where precise force and delicate touch can make all the difference.
UR's Direct Torque Control interface applies to all of UR's cobots (e-Series and UR Series) and is supported by PolyScope 5 and PolyScope X. Learn more at ur.centercode.com/key/PolyScope5Beta
