Collaborative Robots in Industrial Automation: Enhancing Productivity and Safety

Abstract

The integration of collaborative robots, or cobots, into industrial automation systems represents a significant advancement in manufacturing technology. Unlike traditional industrial robots, cobots are designed to work alongside human operators, enhancing both productivity and safety. This paper explores the current state of cobot technology, its applications in various industrial sectors, and its impact on productivity and safety. Additionally, we examine the challenges and future directions for the adoption of cobots in industrial settings.
