Collaborative robots have become a regular part of applications with high part mixes at low volumes. These kinds of tasks require high degrees of flexibility and safety, as oftentimes collaborative robots must work alongside a human worker, and many industrial robots simply aren’t built with this level of finesse. When they were first introduced, collaborative robots were a major innovation in robotic technology. While they’ve become commonplace today, they aren’t done evolving. As OEMs and academic researchers constantly look for more productive systems, collaborative robots will acquire new capabilities and tackle new tasks.
