Definition of Collaborative Robots Market
Collaborative robots or cobots refer to robots designed for direct human-robot interaction in a shared space or proximity to humans and robots. Cobot applications differ from traditional industrial robot applications in which robots are kept away from humans. Cobot safety may rely on lightweight materials, rounded edges, and inherent speed and force limitations, or on sensors and software that ensure safe behavior. They are majorly used in different verticals such as retail, food & beverages, automotive, electronics, plastic, and others.
