In this episode, the pair discuss why Sheffield is the UK’s cobot research/activity hot-spot, run over cobot research there in general, talk about its realisation via a new demonstrator at the AMRC, delve into the various areas that are being addressed to broaden the application of cobots, paint a picture of the future and provide details of forthcoming events that will see industry able to variously engage with some of this.
Universal Robots is the global leader in the manufacture and supply of collaborative robots (cobots), robots that can safely work alongside people.
