The Future of Manufacturing: Collaborative Robots in the Factories
The “ Global Collaborative Robots (Cobots) Market , 2020-2030” report features an extensive study of the potential applications, current landscape and the likely adoption of cobots across various industrial applications, over the next decade. The study features an in-depth analysis, highlighting the capabilities of various industry stakeholders engaged in this field. Cobots, also referred to as collaborative robots , are programmed to work in collaboration / cooperation with humans in a shared space or to work safely, in close proximity. As per the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), there are four key attributes of cobots: § Co-existence : These cobots can work alongside humans in same workspace, however, there should not be any direct overlap in minutiae of their labor. § Sequential Collaboration : These cobots can also work alongside the humans, however, they should not work on the same product at the same time. These cobots work either before ...
