THIRD TOPIC
A collaborative robot—also referred to as a “cobot”— is a robot designed for direct
interaction with a human. Scroll to learn more about what makes a cobot and
how the the technology is moving forward!
FINISH
MOBILE COBOT
ANATOMY OF A COBOT
Mobility
Currently, most cobots are stationary,
but some manufacturers have developed
mobile platforms for the robot to move
freely throughout the workspace.
Arm
Most cobots have one
or more arms that carry
out simple tasks, like picking
up and moving items, either
autonomously or with direct
human guidance.
Face
Some collaborative robots now
have screens with animated
faces that can show the direction
and status of the robot and even
make facial expressions.
Eyes
Collaborative robots often use
sensors or laser scanning technology
(lidar) to be aware of their surroundings
and detect nearby humans.
Safety
As with any moving machine, it is important
to perform a risk assessment to determine
whether a cobot requires a safety solution.
While not all cobots have all of these features, below are some of the cool
technologies that make up cobots today.
Click to watch Clearpath’s
video of a cobot on a
mobile platform.
HI,
I’M OLLIE.
NICE TO
MEET YOU!
With situational awareness
- knowing when humans and
other obstacles are present -
cobots understand when to slow
down, move out of the way, or stop
accordingly.
A mobile platform allows a cobot to move freely throughout the
workspace, so the robot can move items from one location to
another.
Collaborative robots have increased in popularity due to their relatively small size and price tag.
Cobots are just getting started and mobile platforms are - literally - playing a part in moving
these robots forward.
Mobile platforms make stationary collaborative robots
mobile. The cobot and mobile platform communicate with one
another to coordinate movement and tasks.
Cobots vs.
Other Robots
A cobot works in an industrial
setting with humans, unlike
traditional industrial robots
that are too fast and
dangerous to be around.
Service robots also interact
with humans but not in an
industrial setting.
