With the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry and the development of electronic manufacturing industry, collaborative robots have become a hot topic. Do you think that collaborative robots are just robots without security fences? That's a big mistake. Let's clear up the misunderstanding~

The definition of cooperative robot refers to the robot which can interact with human directly in the cooperation area. The cooperation area is the area where the robot and human can work together.

There are two main differences between cooperative robots and traditional industrial robots

First of all, the two kinds of robots are facing different target markets. The purpose of the research and development of cooperative robots is to improve the labor level of small and medium-sized enterprises, reduce costs and improve competitiveness, so as to prevent the situation of labor outsourcing (leaving the working opportunity in China). Therefore, the market of cooperative robots is small and medium-sized enterprises, and the development of cooperative robots is also similar to that of small and medium-sized enterprises Enterprises are inseparable.

Secondly, the goals of the two are different. The traditional robot replaces the machine in the production line. As a part of the whole production line, if the robot in a certain link is broken, the whole production line may be shut down without planning backup. In contrast, the cooperative robot has the characteristics of flexibility, instead of human, the two can be exchanged, the whole production process is very flexible.
