Collaborative industrial robots use force sensors to limit contact pressure to human-safe levels
Modern collaborative robots utilize integrated force-torque sensors to limit contact pressure to 150 Newtons, allowing them to work alongside humans without the physical barriers required by traditional industrial automation.
Collaborative robots, or 'cobots,' maintain safety in shared workspaces by restricting their contact pressure to a maximum of 150 Newtons through integrated force-torque sensors. While traditional industrial robots are caged for safety, these machines use precision kinematics to execute six-axis movements at speeds reaching 10 meters per second. This technology has enabled Western Europe to reach a density of 267 robots per 10,000 manufacturing workers, a figure that significantly outpaces the global average.
