Robotics - going small is the next big thing

A #cobot is a #robot intended to physically interact with humans in a shared workspace. This is in contrast with other robots, designed to operate autonomously or with limited guidance, which is what most industrial robots were up until the decade of the 2010s.

#Cobots can have many roles — from #autonomous #robots capable of working together with humans in an office environment that can ask you for help, to #industrial robots having their protective guards removed. #Collaborative industrial robots are highly complex #machines which are able to work hand in hand with human beings. The robots support and relieve the human operator in a conjoint work flow.
