There are many physical tasks performed in manufacturing environments which can’t be automated because of budgetary or physical limitations. The primary reason for this is that robots aren’t yet skilled at adapting to real-world variability. Collaborative robots is the answer for this, which are emerging from their cages and stepping into new roles. They are becoming more and more equipped to handle such industrial tasks, in collaboration with human. Analysts project cobot sales to grow nearly five times as fast as traditional robots in unit terms through 2025. Their intelligence, which breeds flexibility and productivity, is a highly desirable quality for nearly any manufacturer looking to maximise return on investment (ROI). As these robots get smarter, they’ll be more reactive and independent, helping manufacturers meet aspirational production goals like being more responsive to market changes, delivering on customer preferences and increasing the speed of innovation.
