Lightweight cobots with higher payload fuel robot arms rivalry - Korea Economic Daily

Quick Summary:

Industrial observers said the release of the upgraded UR30 will boost the demand for cobots to replace construction and other manual workers.“If we carry a load heavier than 35 kg, we are exposed to the risk of suffering musculoskeletal disorders,” said a domestic robotics company official.“In the palletizing robot market, cobots will rapidly replace people.”A palletizing robot is capable of sorting, transferring and stacking boxes or items onto a pallet.

Denmark-based Universal Robots’ release of the world’s slimmest collaborative robot (cobot) with an increased lifting capacity is spurring on its peers such as South Korea’s Doosan Robotics Inc.and Taiwan’s Techman Robot to develop lightweight cobots with a larger payload.

In comparisons, cobots, also called robot arms, produced by South Korea’s Doosan Robotics and Taiwan’s Techman Robot boast a lifting capacity of more than 30 kg, but they are heavier than the UR30.
