A cobot or co-robot (from collaborative robot) is a robot intended to physically interact with humans in a shared workspace. This is in contrast with other industrial robots, designed to operate autonomously or with limited guidance. Historically, industrial robots have had to be separated from people by safety cages, programmed only by highly skilled application engineers, and viable for just a handful of precise and high volume applications. Industrial robotics solutions typically require 100s of hours of development and cost more than several 100k upwards and can rarely be repurposed or relocated without significant re-engineering.
Collaborative robots, on the other hand, can be used for a variety of tasks considered impractical to automate with conventional robots. A smart collaborative robot, or cobot, for example, modifies its behaviour to respond to changing or unexpected conditions in the factory floor using advanced integrated features such as vision and force feedback. Cobots are much simpler to train, modify and deploy with your workforce, into your existing environment. Deploy Smart, collaborative robots technology that improves itself over time, adding new skill sets and becoming a more capable worker. We are here to support you through your robotic journey including training the next generation of cobot technicians and engineers.
