Study Notes

Collaborative Robots (Cobots)

Cobots are designed to work alongside humans, enhancing efficiency in production processes.
Unlike traditional industrial robots, cobots do not require extensive protective barriers; they can operate in close proximity to human workers.
The integration of cobots into workplaces promotes safety while increasing productivity and flexibility.

Industrial Robots

These are programmable machines specifically used for tasks like handling, assembling, or processing materials within industrial settings.
Industrial robots often operate in isolated environments equipped with safety measures to prevent human interaction.
They are typically used for repetitive tasks that require precision, speed, and consistency in various manufacturing processes.
