Cobots, short for collaborative robots, are robots designed to work safely alongside humans in shared workspaces. Unlike traditional industrial robots that are caged or separated for safety, cobots are equipped with advanced sensors, AI, and compliance mechanisms that enable safe, intuitive, and efficient collaboration with people.
Features of Cobots:
Force & Torque Sensors: Detect and react to collisions or pressure changes to avoid injury.
Vision Systems: Cameras and depth sensors for spatial awareness and object recognition.
Lightweight & Mobile: Easy to move and reprogram for different tasks.
Simple Programming: Can be trained via drag-and-drop software or manual guidance.
AI & Machine Learning: Improve performance and adaptability over time.
