Universal Robots (UR) is showcasing the UR AI Trainer, an imitation learning platform developed in collaboration with Scale AI. Traditionally, AI robotics training has been hindered by a significant "lab-to-factory" gap. Researchers often depend on fragmented hardware or fragile research arms that are not suited for production environments, while many systems rely solely on visual feedback. The UR AI Trainer directly addresses these barriers by providing a standardized, industrial-grade foundation for capturing high-fidelity, force-aware data on the very same robots intended for final deployment. An Automate demo allows users to physically guide a "leader" UR3e robot through an advanced smartphone packaging task, and the operator provides real-time haptic input to a "follower" UR7e robot that mirrors the motion in real time. This process does more than just mirror motion; it utilizes UR's unique Direct Torque Control and force feedback to give developers direct influence over how the robot physically interacts with the world.
