A cobot, or collaborative robot, is an industrial robot that works safely alongside humans in a shared workspace. Cobots are designed to perform repetitive tasks, such as inspection and picking, to help workers focus on more complex tasks. Cobots are different from traditional industrial robots, which tend to stay away from humans due to potential dangers. Cobots have sensors that stop them immediately if they come into contact with a person. They can also learn new tasks through demonstration and reinforcement learning. For these reasons, and many more, they are considered the best automation option in the welding and cutting industry.
