With the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, as well as the development of the electronics manufacturing industry, collaborative robots have become a hot topic. Collaborative robots are a new type of robot that can work together with humans in the same workspace to complete some tasks that need to be done collaboratively, such as assembly, handling, labeling, etc. Industrial robots refer to robots used in industrial fields such as production and manufacturing, and they are usually dedicated, heavy, and high-speed to complete production and processing tasks.

What are the differences between collaborative robots and industrial robots?

① Flexibility and adaptability

 Cobots are designed to be highly flexible and adaptable, enabling them to be easily reconfigured to suit different tasks and applications. They are lightweight and generally have a small footprint, so they are easy to move around and integrate into a variety of workspaces.

 Industrial robots are typically larger and heavier, and they are often enclosed in safety cages or barriers to protect human workers from potential harm, making them more difficult to move and integrate into new workspaces.

② Safety Features

 Cobots are often equipped with highly sensitive sensors and advanced safety systems that can detect changes in the surrounding environment, sense the presence of people in time, and stop working in dangerous situations to protect human safety.

 Industrial robots usually need to be manufactured under a fixed robot arm. Because of their high speed and certain safety risks, they usually need to be isolated and protected during the manufacturing process.

③ Easy to program and integrate

 Cobots are often programmed in a simplified way, making it easy for ordinary employees to learn and operate. They are often equipped with intuitive user interfaces and simple instruction sets that allow tasks to be set through drag-and-drop operations or graphical programming.

 Industrial robots usually need to write complex programming code, including joint motion path planning, sensor data processing, and so on. Therefore, the programming of industrial robots generally requires specialized engineers or technicians to complete.
