The new mobility: How sensors control the cobots of the future

Take your robotics application to a higher productivity level by avoiding downtimes and optimizing work processes. sBot Speed – UR intelligently combines the functions of the safety laser scanner S300 Mini Remote with those of the Flexi Soft safety controller and the UR robot. Additionally, it offers ready-made and tested safety functions and documentation for an easy integration. The ongoing development of small, powerful and flexibly positionable robots that can collaborate with humans is progressing in leaps and bounds. The sensors from SICK are an important component in this. Sensor intelligence plays a vital role not only in orienting and positioning mobile cobots but also in reliably monitoring their surroundings. Lightweight cobots that are transported to their working position on automated guided vehicles and autonomously position themselves are the newest development in this area. These cobots are making fence-free and flexible work an increasingly standard feature in robotics and a new foundation for functional automation.
