Cobot (Collaborative Robot)

A Cobot, short for collaborative robot, represents a groundbreaking advancement in the field of robotics, specifically designed to interact safely with human workers in shared workspaces. The term “collaborative” signifies the ability of these robots to work alongside people, leveraging sensitive sensors that provide the robot with a sense of touch. In contrast to traditional robots, Cobots can enter a safety mode when interrupted, ensuring a secure environment. These robots have transformed automation dynamics by prioritizing safety and collaboration, enabling them to be a valuable asset in a wide range of industries.

IO-Link Wireless is a pivotal technology addressing challenges associated with wired communication for end-of-arm devices. As Cobots operate in shared spaces with human workers, the traditional constraints of cables, such as motion limitations and complexity, become more pronounced. CoreTigo’s IO-Link Wireless solution comes to the forefront by providing low-latency, reliable, and interference-free communication for the end-effectors of Cobots. This wireless technology not only ensures the safety and flexibility essential for collaborative environments but also enhances the overall efficiency and adaptability of Cobots. By eliminating the need for physical cables, IO-Link Wireless contributes to the seamless integration of Cobots into diverse workflows, promoting a collaborative and productive future for human-robot interactions.
