Universal Robots' New UR20 Collaborative Robot Makes U.S. Debut at IMTS 2022, Expanding Cobot Automation in Machining Industry
Attendees at North America's leading machine tool show will experience how the all-new collaborative, industrial cobot delivers the longest reach and payload in its class, offering the ability to automate even more hard-to-staff tasks in a market struggling to hire.
Smart Robotics announces the launch of their latest design in Warehouse Automation - the Smart Fashion Picker
This pick & place cobot is designed to pick fashion items of various sizes, materials and shapes - making item picking in warehouses more efficient for the fashion industry.
Automating Labor Dependent Tasks in High Mix/Low Volume Production
Action plastics maximizes OB7's flexibility to automate several different tasks within their high mix/low to mid volume production, freeing up operators and enabling a more flexible work environment.
Cobots - electric or pneumatic?
The simple design of pneumatic systems mean that the cobots are expected to be more durable and require less maintenance than their electric counterparts.
Industrial Robots Vs (or With?) Cobots
Apart from being unsafe for workers, and thus requiring specific safety measures within their working area, industrial robots are also exceedingly expensive and difficult to set up and redeploy.

Could Cobots Be the Answer to the Welder Shortage?
The American Welding Society has predicted a deficit of 400,000 welders by 2024. According to specialist welding technologists K-TIG, a US welder's skills are in such high demand they can demand a salary of $100,000.
The sense of touch - Tactile technologies for cobots
Currently, there are several tactile sensors used in cobots, including piezoelectric, piezoresistive, capacitive and elastoresistivity types. Piezoelectric technologies are used for gathering data from the cobot's joints and transmitting it to the controller
Tips for choosing a 3D vision system - The future of vision systems in manufacturing
Manufacturers have long relied on human vision for complex picking and assembly processes, but 3D vision systems are beginning to replicate the capability of human vision in robotics.
