WATERLOO, Ontario— The findings highlight a growing risk as hospitals, manufacturers, and other industries increasingly adopt remotely controlled robots.

ANN ARBOR, MI—The revised standard, which adopts and updates ISO 10218, introduces clearer functional safety requirements, integrated collaborative robot guidance, new rules for end-effectors and manual operations, updated robot classifications, and cybersecurity considerations.

Advances in human-machine collaboration enable manufacturers to address skilled labor shortages.

I've noticed that operators and inspection workers often realize upon first meeting collaborative robots (cobots) that they aren't replacements for human labor. Instead, cobots signal a shift from traditional automation in quality and inspection, providing distinct advantages over traditional robots.

The American Welding Society predicts that 330,000 new welding professionals will be needed by 2028. Thankfully, automation can pick up some of that slack. Welding is one of the fastest growing applications for collaborative robots.

Detroit startup Aubo Robotics displayed its new screwdriving cobot at the ASSEMBLY Show South. The cobot is unique in that the screwdriver is fully integrated into the arm, eliminating the need to integrate third-party hardware and software.

Automating the screwdriving process increases throughput, improves quality, reduces the risk of repetitive stress injuries.

DETROIT—The new UR15 cobot from Universal Robots has a maximum tool center point speed of 5 meters per second, making it the fastest cobot in company’s portfolio.
