Co-operative robots are particularly at home in the fields of automation, industry and Factory 4.0 as well as robots. These modern machines work directly with humans and support them in various tasks. In contrast to traditional industrial robots, which usually work behind gates, collaborative robots, often referred to as "cobots", share the workplace with human colleagues.
The big advantage: collaborative robots can be used flexibly - for lifting heavy parts, screwing or assembling, for example. They are programmed to react to touch and stop immediately in an emergency, which makes collaboration safe.
An illustrative example: In a car workshop, a co-operative robot assists the employee when fitting heavy engine parts. The human operator controls and monitors, while the robot takes over the strenuous lifting operations.
Thanks to their versatile use, collaborative robots help companies to produce faster and more efficiently. At the same time, they relieve employees of heavy or monotonous tasks. In this way, the use of collaborative robots not only promotes productivity, but also the health and well-being of employees.
