Cobots Offer Advantages for Biomedical Testing Applications

A collaborative robot, or cobot, is an automation tool that can be adapted for use in mechanical testing laboratories. Cobots are robotic arms designed to work alongside humans and are adaptable to a variety of applications. They are intended to bridge the gap between manual system operation and full industrial automation, offering the benefits of automation without the additional complexity of a fully robotic testing system. Cobots are particularly suited for use in the biomedical industry, where full-scale automation is often not possible but where lab efficiency, safety, and data integrity are critical.
