“The robot saves at least five hours in transport time a week, and the working day is quieter and calmer,” Broberg said. “I already take 15,000 to 17,000 steps a day in my job, so I definitely don’t miss the walk to the pallet stacker."
It is true that a collaborative robot is designed to work without additional physical guarding like fencing. But the robot is rarely a lone component in a system.
Acquisition of Proven Leader in Mission-Critical Robotics Systems for $385M Will Provide FLIR Entry Into Attractive Unmanned Ground Vehicles Market for Military, Public Safety, and Critical Infrastructure
Comau developed e.DO precisely to support and stimulate students' involvement and creativity during in-school and extracurricular learning activities.
Regardless of the size of the company or industry in which it operates, adding automation into a business environment can mean a significant shift in the way an organization conducts itself.
Ease-of-use is a key element for improving maintenance pains for electronics manufacturers. When the robotic cell is designed for simplicity, it makes maintenance and management much easier for electronic manufacturers.
Japanese investment and telecoms giant SoftBank puts $37m into next generation robotics company Boston Dynamics after it bought the business from Google.

Booth #4481 (co-exhibiting with Futura Automation) - Gecko Gripper, that uses millions of micro-scaled fibrillar stalks that adhere to a surface using powerful van der Waals forces — the same way that geckos climb.
TE Connectivity's HDC Dynamic Module integrates the Dynamic series flexible signal and power solutions and the HDC Heavy Duty Connector series to form a solution of harsh environment connectors. TE's HDC Dynamic Module offers the top features of the two series. It uses the contact concept of the Dynamic series, with its proven performance in industrial uses and its cost effectiveness compared to legacy cutting contacts. The HDC connectors make the module a reliable solution for harsh environments. TE's HDC Dynamic Module supports 2A/32V to 40A/300V performance and 3 positions to 48 positions.
There is an increasing demand for collaborative robots that can work autonomously and adapt to changing production conditions. This requires reliable sensors that detect human presence and can overcome future challenges with the development of collaborative technologies.
