Most market analysts agree that collaborate robots (cobots) are the fastest growing segment of industrial robotics. The rise of cobots represents a dramatic shift for many industries -- not to mention traditional robots.
In this Design News e-book we're going to clear up the differences between traditional manufacturing robots and cobots working with humans on the factory floor and in warehouses, including industrial mobile robots. We look at differences in the robots themselves, as well as the different jobs for which they're used, as well as the real impact cobots are having.
