Functional Safety 2016

Cobots

Enrico Krog Iversen, CEO - Universal Robots

“The world's first collaborative robots entered the market in 2009. The

new generation nicknamed cobots created a paradigm shift within the

manufacturing industry: Large corporations as well as small and

medium-sized companies are looking for new ways to optimize

production processes in order to compete on a global scale.

“The invention of cobots has made automation accessible for all. The

cobots' ease-of-use, flexible deployment, human-robot-collaboration,

space saving qualities, and their fast payback makes this new kind of

robot attractive. The full potential of the global market of cobots is

very far from being realized yet - we therefore expect increased

demand in the next few years."
