collaborative robot, or cobot, is an automation tool that can be adapted for use in
mechanical testing laboratories. Cobots are robotic arms designed to work alongside
humans and are adaptable to a variety of applications. They are intended to bridge
the gap between manual system operation and full industrial automation, offering
the benefits of automation without the additional complexity of a fully robotic testing
system. Cobots are particularly suited for use in the biomedical industry, where full-scale
automation is often not possible but where lab efficiency, safety, and data integrity are critical.
Cobots and robots can perform very similar tasks: Both are designed to remove a system
operator from a task or operation by automating part or all of the testing process.
Because of the overlap in functions, both options can be appropriate for a given
application; however, there are some key differences that make one solution
preferable over the other in certain circumstances.
Robot systems are best suited for repeating the same task at
a high speed for 24/7 operation. These systems are not
always equipped with force control features and
struggle with tasks that require varying degrees of
sensitivity. Because these robots are designed for high
speed, the possibility for damage or injury is high if
