In an increasingly networked and automated world, cooperation between humans and machines is becoming increasingly important. A particularly interesting area is the mobile collaborative robot, or "mobile cobot" for short. These intelligent and flexible systems combine the advantages of robotics and humans to create efficient solutions in mechanical engineering. The term "cobot" refers to collaborative robots that are able to work safely with humans.
Mobility is a crucial factor in modern production processes. Mobile cobots enable flexible and rapid adaptation to changing requirements. One example is the use of mobile cobots in intralogistics. These robots can transport materials autonomously, but can also move safely in environments with people. They are equipped with sensors that enable them to detect obstacles and react to unforeseen situations.
Another area of application is the assembly of components. Mobile cobots can help bring components to the assembly stations or even carry out smaller assembly tasks independently. This not only increases efficiency, but also enables more flexible design of production processes.
Mobile cobots can also be used in quality control. They can navigate autonomously through the production hall and check production quality with built-in cameras and sensors. These enable continuous monitoring and early identification of possible defects.
Flexibility: Mobile cobots can quickly adapt to different requirements and are not tied to fixed routes.
• Efficiency: Automating transport tasks using mobile cobots can increase production speed and reduce lead times.
Collaboration: The collaborative nature of these robots allows them to work safely in human-staffed environments, leading to improved collaboration.
Initial investment: The introduction of mobile cobots requires a considerable initial investment in hardware and software implementation.
Training effort: Employees must be trained to use the new technologies, which requires additional time and resource expenditure.
Safety aspects: Although mobile cobots are designed to interact safely with humans, strict safety standards must be met to avoid accidents.
