The Universal Robots (http://www.universal-robots.com/) is an industrial robot manufacturer based in Denmark. The company mainly manufactures three arms UR3, UR5, and UR10. The robots are shown in the following screenshot:
Figure 7: UR-3, UR-5, and UR-10 robots
The smaller one is UR-3, UR-5 is the one in the center, and the big one is UR-10. The specifications of these robots are given in the following table:

We are mainly discussing ROS interfacing of UR-5 and UR-10 using ROS-I packages.
We can install the packages of these robots and can work with the MoveIt! interface and simulation interface of these robots in Gazebo.
