With the aim of making robot automation accessible to all levels of industry, Universal Robots, a Danish robot manufacturer, introduces Cobots in India. In an event held in Mumbai today, the company discussed on the future of co-bots in India and accessibility to such technology that could bring about a revolution in various industries.
Co-bots are designed to work with humans and assist them with a variety of tasks which help to automate and streamline repetitive and potentially unsafe processes thus, ensuring safe work environment while increasing productivity and efficiency. A research conducted by MIT students at a BMW factory, concluded that teams made of humans and robots collaborating efficiently can be around 85% more productive than teams made of either humans or robots alone. Also, the cooperative process reduced human idle time by virtue of its pace-setting ability.
The company has seen the evolution of robot arms from the UR3, UR5 and UR10, which are built for respective payloads of 3kg, 5kg and 10kg.
