The race toward commercializing robots outside of heavy industry and science is heating up. Yesterday, a Sunnyvale, California-based startup called Collaborative Robotics, a.k.a. Cobot, announced a ...

Humanoid robots are not direct substitutes for cobots in factory settings, at least not in the next five to seven years. Cobots are typically fixed or semi-fixed workcells, while humanoids are mobile ...

The automation of machine tending processes is one of the faster growing applications for cobots across industry, particularly in small to mid-sized manufacturing operations. One of the newest ...

Philip Singer, business architect for data and AI at Hewlett-Packard Enterprises (HPE), operates a robot (developed in cooperation between HPE and German AI startup Aleph Alpha) that is able to speak ...

In 2017, collaborative robots (cobots) began to overtake the robotic market. According to BIS Research, by 2021, the collaborative-robot market is expected to grow to approximately $2 billion and ...

When the International Federation of Robots (IFR) first started collating collaborative robot data in 2017, this new breed of robot had a market share of just 2.8%. The IFR’s latest report showed that ...

Can automated welding solutions stack up to fixed automation solutions? Brian Knopp, founder of Cobot Systems, explains why they do. Manufacturers looking for ways to rearchitect their welding ...

Known for their ability to share the same workspace as human employees, collaborative robots (or cobots) are now a mainstay of the industrial robotics sector. Lightweight, simple to programme and ...

A single cobot mounted on the Movotrak can cover up to 10 meters of stroke with ±25 microns accuracy, potentially replacing four to five stationary cobots in applications ranging from palletizing to ...
