Secondly, the enormous economic and social costs of work-related muscular disorders are driving political institutions to encourage cobotic solutions. A third cause is the ambition (particularly within the European Union) to avoid industrial relocation to lower-wage regions.

On the one hand, this context has prompted long-established robot manufacturers (Kuka, ABB, Comau, Fanuc, Staubli) to develop their own cobot ranges, and on the other, to open up a market for new manufacturers specializing in collaborative...
