April 28 is designated as "World Day for Safety and Health at Work," aimed at promoting the prevention of occupational accidents and diseases worldwide. Improving the work environment and protecting the safety and health of workers is the driving vision behind Universal Robots. What we aspire to is a world where people work "with" robots, rather than "like" robots. We believe that no job should threaten the well-being, safety, or health of workers, and that collaborative robots can significantly improve the workplace. On this special day of awareness, we present five examples where delegating dangerous tasks, heavy labor, repetitive tasks, and monotonous work to collaborative robots has allowed humans to focus on more fulfilling and safer work. *For more details, you can view the blog through the related link.
