Collaborative Robots in Work Environments Collaborative robots, or Cobots, are a type of robot designed to work alongside humans in work environments without the need for physical barriers, unlike traditional industrial robots. These robots aim to enhance productivity, improve worker safety, and reduce human effort in routine and repetitive tasks. Collaborative robots utilize advanced sensing technologies and intelligent software to detect human presence and interact safely and efficiently. They can be programmed to perform a variety of tasks, including assembly, loading and unloading, packaging, and quality inspection, making them ideal tools to support teams in factories, warehouses, and laboratories.
