Content
- Collaborative robots are built to operate near people without conventional safety cages. They use force limiting, sensing and speed control so that contact with a person does not cause injury.
- Cobots are commonly used for tasks such as machine tending, assembly assistance and pick-and-place operations. Safety standards define requirements for collaborative operation, including power and force limiting.
