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:
Robot | UR-3 | UR-5 | UR-10 |
Working radius | 500 mm | 850 mm | 1300 mm |

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.
