What are the important considerations when assessing cobot safety?
Collaborative robots (cobots) are designed to work with humans and support flexible production in Industry 4.0 factories. Compared with traditional industrial robots, cobots are simpler, easier to set up, and don't require safely isolated workspaces. Because they are designed to work with people, cobots are built differently than other industrial robots, including features like collision detection systems, force feedback, elastic actuators, and low-inertia servo motors.
