“Rising Adoption of Collaborative Robots (Cobots)”
- Collaborative robots, or cobots, are gaining significant traction in the robotic arm market due to their ability to work safely alongside human operators without the need for extensive safety guarding
- Cobots are designed for ease of programming and deployment, making them highly attractive to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that may lack dedicated robotics expertise
- These robots are particularly suited for tasks requiring human-robot interaction, such as assembly, quality inspection, and material handling, where flexibility and adaptability are key
- For instance, Universal Robots, a leading cobot manufacturer, has seen significant growth in various industries, including electronics, automotive, and food and beverage, as businesses seek to automate tasks without completely replacing human workers
- The growing emphasis on flexible manufacturing and personalized production is further driving the demand for cobots, as they can be easily reconfigured for different tasks and production runs
