Collaborative robots are robots that are capable of operating around people without the need of external guarding or safety devices (pending a risk assessment of the total application). Without the need for a large safety enclosure, robots can now be used in places that wouldn’t have been feasible in the past. With the tight labor market, now, more than ever, collaborative robots or cobots make sense for repetitive tasks where a human could be deployed to a more valued added activity. With typical payback periods of less than two years, the economic case for a cobot is straightforward and easy to justify.
