Collaborative robotics has become one of the hottest topics in\nthe industry. Its prominence is assured in trade fairs, articles and workshops.\nAlthough there is a rising concern that industrial robots might make humans\nobsolete, collaborative robotics ensures that humans and robots in\ncollaboration, working hand in hand have a great future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Collaborative robotics seems to be the future. An ABI Research predicts more than 20,000 collaborative robots by 2020. With advancements in AI automation and the adoption of industrial robots, collaborative robotics has attracted global attention. Employees, businesses and companies around the world are experiencing the shift to the digital revolution. This envisages a paradigm shift in our personal and work areas. The traditional design of automated systems is giving way to <a href=\"https:\/\/cobotintel.com\/\"><strong>collaborative robots<\/strong><\/a> with more inclusion of humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techtodayinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/binary-2175285_1280-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Robots to Cobots \" class=\"wp-image-1178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techtodayinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/binary-2175285_1280-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.techtodayinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/binary-2175285_1280-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.techtodayinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/binary-2175285_1280-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.techtodayinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/binary-2175285_1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there is a\nlot of scepticism regarding robots rendering human skills obsolete and the\nsafety of humans while working beside collaborative robots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Working hand in hand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Machines do what they are best at and humans do what they do best. While collaborative robots can help with labour-intensive physically demanding or dangerous work, humans can do resource-intensive and strategic thinking jobs. Research predicts that most workplaces will neither be fully automated nor devoid of humans. Researchers further envisaged humans and robots working together with specifically assigned tasks. Robots and humans have their own specific strengths, and with their strengths combined, future workplaces are going to witness better productivity, more flexibility, efficient utilisation of resources, the better quality of products and most importantly, improved competition among companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safer than you think!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With human and robot collaboration,\nwe cannot underestimate the risk of injury. With more and more robots entering\nthe markets, safety is a matter of concern. However, data-driven guidelines are provided to counter risks and enable humans\nand robots to work safely and in close proximity. Moreover features like the\nspeed and force limited design and hand guiding&nbsp;ensures safety while\nworking with the robots. To allay fears, some companies had robots on display,\nintroducing workers to what robots can do and how they can work with them.\n&nbsp; Furthermore, single and dual collaborative robot arms are designed to\nhave safe contact with humans. Sawyer and Baxter are two examples of\ncollaborative robot arms. They are power and force limited robots. Their safety\nfeatures make it safe for humans to work with them. In risk assessment, it is\nthe application that is of more concern and not the robot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Collaborative robots\nand education:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Education today is\nwitnessing transformation in the technological front at a rapid pace. The\n21st-century schools and universities are now preparing themselves to integrate\nRobotics into their curriculum and seeking to build a generation that will prepare\nfor the 4<sup>th<\/sup> industrial Revolution. Cobots are shaping the future of universities\nand education. In Australia, there\u2019s been a large demand for Collaborative Robots at\nuniversities and educational departments. With the\nintroduction of Robotics in schools and universities, it will prepare a\ngeneration that is ready for the future job market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies offering\ncollaborative robots have made it appealing and beneficial to educators and\nstudents alike. Setting up a cobot is not time-consuming for the educator and\npupils. Moreover, they are versatile and can be moved to various locations in\nthe school. Students and educators can work alongside robots. They are\ncost-effective with a good return on investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Undoubtedly the introduction of\nCollaborative robots overall will:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>enhance low-cost, greater flexible automation<\/li><li>assist humans in increasing productivity<\/li><li>help humans take on more advanced and rewarding work<\/li><li>create better jobs with stimulating roles<\/li><li>prevent humans from undertaking unsafe tasks<\/li><li>help resolve space constraints<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When humans and robots work for hand in glove in a safe manner, they can open richer avenues in untapped fields. To achieve this, there needs to be a shift in the mindset of companies and their employees. The strengths of both humans and robots have to be harnessed well to ensure competitiveness and enhanced production. The time is now ripe for exploring the endless possibilities of cobotics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cobots or collaborative robotics seems to be one of the most notable and multidimensional advances in technology where humans join<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[475,476,177,178,474],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Robots to Cobots - A Paradigm Shift - Tech Today Info<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Robots to Cobots: Collaborative robotics has become one of the hottest topics in the industry.Its prominence is assured in trade fairs,articles &amp; workshops.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techtodayinfo.com\/robots-to-cobots-a-paradigm-shift\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Robots to Cobots - A Paradigm Shift - Tech Today Info\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Robots to Cobots: Collaborative robotics has become one of the hottest topics in the industry.Its prominence is assured in trade fairs,articles &amp; workshops.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.techtodayinfo.com\/robots-to-cobots-a-paradigm-shift\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Tech Today Info\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:author\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/techtodayinfo\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-11-22T06:10:25+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-11-22T06:10:27+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.techtodayinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/binary-2175285_1280-1024x640.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Rose\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@TechTodayInfo1\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Rose\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.techtodayinfo.com\/robots-to-cobots-a-paradigm-shift\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.techtodayinfo.com\/robots-to-cobots-a-paradigm-shift\/\",\"name\":\"Robots to Cobots - A Paradigm Shift - Tech Today Info\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.techtodayinfo.com\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-11-22T06:10:25+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-11-22T06:10:27+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.techtodayinfo.com\/#\/schema\/person\/c7640b7cf1ce41c50026ca15a82049c1\"},\"description\":\"Robots to Cobots: Collaborative robotics has become one of the hottest topics in the industry.Its prominence is assured in trade fairs,articles & workshops.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.techtodayinfo.com\/robots-to-cobots-a-paradigm-shift\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.techtodayinfo.com\/robots-to-cobots-a-paradigm-shift\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.techtodayinfo.com\/robots-to-cobots-a-paradigm-shift\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.techtodayinfo.com\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Robots to Cobots &#8211; A Paradigm Shift\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.techtodayinfo.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.techtodayinfo.com\/\",\"name\":\"Tech Today Info\",\"description\":\"Technology Write For Us\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/www.techtodayinfo.com\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.techtodayinfo.com\/#\/schema\/person\/c7640b7cf1ce41c50026ca15a82049c1\",\"name\":\"Rose\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.techtodayinfo.com\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/956b09a06803bc335d817b044dec5ca0?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/956b09a06803bc335d817b044dec5ca0?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Rose\"},\"description\":\"Rose is a technology enthusiast and a writer.
