The meaning is same but you should think separately for usuage. If there is final consonant in the verb you're going to use, you should use "으러".
For example, 앉으러,(앉다sit, final consonat here is ㄵ), 잡으러(잡다catch), 놓으러(놓다put), 먹으러(먹다eat)
With no final consonant, you can use ""러" like this. 공부하러(공부(noun)+하다=study), 불끄러(불끄다turn off the light)
