A cobot[1] or co-robot[2] (from collaborative robot) is a robot intended to physically interact with humans in a shared workspace.[3] This is in contrast with other robots, designed to operate autonomously or with limited guidance,[4] which is what most industrial robots were up until the decade of the 2010s.

Cobots were invented in 1996 by J. Edward Colgate and Michael Peshkin, professors at Northwestern University. A 1997 US patent filing describes cobots as “an apparatus and method for direct physical interaction between a person and a general purpose manipulator controlled by a computer.”

 

On march 20, 2018 Dr.Eng. Alessio Cocchi, Sales & Development Manager in Universal Robots, presents the challenges and opportunities generated by cobots for Industry 4.0. This seminar was organized by Prof.Riccardo Manzini to the students of Management & Mechanical Engineering of Bologna University. This is the speech of the interesting session on innovative solutions for Logistics and Material Handling.
