A cobot is designed to interact with human beings in a shared workspace. Unlike traditional industrial robots that require extensive safety guarding, cobots are built with several crucial features that enable this collaboration:

• Safety Sensors: They are equipped with sophisticated sensors that allow them to detect a human presence and immediately slow down or stop their operation to prevent injury.
• Lightweight Design: They are often smaller and lighter than their industrial counterparts, reducing the potential for harm.
• Ease of Programming (Teach-and-Go): Many cobots can be programmed by simply guiding the arm through the desired motion, making them accessible to workers without deep programming knowledge.
