Learn how functional safety impacts the design and deployment of collaborative robots that operate near people.

The world of automation is evolving rapidly, and collaborative robots (cobots) are leading the charge. Unlike traditional industrial robots that operate in isolation, cobots are designed to work ...

Cornell and Brown University researchers have unveiled VRoxy, an advanced telepresence robot that responds automatically and in real-time to a user's movements and gestures in virtual reality (VR).

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Factory Operation and Automation IFF have developed cognitive robot capabilities that can handle complex tasks in manufacturing that were previously ...

A year after unveiling Collaborative Robotics, Brad Porter is still playing it close to the vest. He’s not ready show off the company’s hardware — or even describe it in too great of detail. “I’m ...

The dual-arm horizontal articulated SCARA (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) robot operates on a single axis and has a payload capacity of 2 kg per arm. The single axis configuration also ...

While the answer to this question is generally yes, there are drawbacks. First, let’s look at some recent research from the National Safety Council. In a white paper, Improving Workplace Safety with ...

The future of work is not about humans being replaced by robots. Rather, it is about us learning to work alongside smart, automated technology that will augment our capabilities while allowing us to ...

New soft robots can be used to operate in small, confined places like in a pipe or under extreme conditions. Scientists have created a 4D-printed soft robot capable of self-assembly when it is heated.

The modern and user-friendly generation of robots, called collaborative robots (cobots), prove to be safe, efficient, and relatively affordable. Over 50,000 cobots from Universal Robots are currently ...
