"Collaborative robot" refers to

What are collaborative robots that are being introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic? We will also introduce some application examples.

Manufacturers of industrial robots are focusing on the introduction of new models of collaborative robots and the promotion of their utilization. Collaborative robots, as the name suggests, refer to "robots that work in cooperation with humans." They enable joint operations between humans and robots without safety barriers. While their introduction has been progressing in response to labor shortages and the need for labor-saving measures, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has increased expectations for their use as a means to avoid the "three Cs" (closed spaces, crowded places, and close-contact settings). Leading the way are the electronics industry, as well as the three product sectors (food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics) and automotive parts manufacturers. In these industries, collaborative robots are being introduced as a method to reduce costs and minimize labor in response to the prolonged COVID-19 situation. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.
