How to Select the Right Cobot for Your Application

Over the past few years, you’ve likely seen collaborative robots (cobots) doing everything from stacking pallets in a warehouse to making fries at a fast-food chain. Today’s co-bots are strong enough to handle pay-loads as heavy as 55 lbs with precision and safe enough to operate side by side with human workers. While cobots continually learn to perform more complex tasks, such as configuring applications, the human machine interface (HMI) has become much simpler. Setup can be done in a short of time, and PC-like tablets with touchscreens and intuitive programming make the system easy for employees to learn.
