Collaborative Robots: Safeguarding Humanity's Future
Keeping Humans Safe: A Look at Technology Safety Features in Cobots Collaborative robots, or "cobots," are changing the face of manufacturing and beyond. These intelligent machines work alongside humans, sharing tasks and boosting efficiency. But with any technology interacting so closely with people, safety is paramount. Fortunately, cobot manufacturers have integrated numerous safety features to ensure a harmonious and secure working environment. Let's delve into some key technologies that keep humans safe when collaborating with cobots: 1. Sensing Systems: Cobots are equipped with sophisticated sensors that act as their eyes and ears. Force/Torque Sensors: These sensors detect physical contact between the robot and its surroundings, including humans. When a certain force threshold is reached, the cobot immediately stops or slows...
