目的-本文的目的是回顾协作机器人技术进入应用程序的戏剧性入口。它还探讨了目前的合作机器人技术，驱动他们进入的因素和他们对未来的展望。设计/方法/方法-该文件包括与机器人公司的主要管理人员的讨论。出席国际机器人联合会关于协作的圆桌讨论会和另一个关于协作机器人的行业圆桌会议。参加CIRP自动化技术会议。出席机器人工业协会国际协作机器人研讨会。结果-协作机器人技术正在解决许多以前未满足的应用，同时节省资金，提高生产力，简化编程和加快投资回报的时间。据预测，协作机器人系统可以解决近100万装配和物流任务，以前没有寻址与传统的机器人technology.Practical影响-该文件意味着一个主要的检查协作机器人技术现在和未来。读者可能会非常兴奋地了解许多新的任务，协作机器人正在解决，许多工具，已开发，以帮助选择，设计和获得工人的认可和许多独特的好处，提供，以及系统已经提供。独创性/价值-该文件意味着一个主要的检查协作机器人技术现在和未来。读者可能会非常兴奋地了解到协作机器人正在解决的许多新任务，已经开发的许多工具，以帮助选择，设计和获得工人的认可，以及提供的许多独特的好处，以及已经可用的系统。
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to review the dramatic entry of collaborative robotics into applications. It also examines the current state of the art for collaborative robotics, factors driving their entry and their outlook for the future.Design/methodology/approach - The paper includes discussions with key managers of robot companies. Attendance at the International Federation for Robotics round table discussion on collaboration and another industry round table meeting on collaborative robotics. Attendance at the CIRP technical conference on automation. Attendance at the Robotics Industry Association International Collaborative Robots Workshop.Findings - Collaborative robotics are addressing many previously unmet applications while saving money, improving productivity, simplifying programming and speeding the time to return investment. It is forecast that collaborative robotics systems can address almost 100 million assembly and logistics tasks not previously addressable with traditional robotics technology.Practical implications - The paper implies a major examination of collaborative robot technology now and in the future. Readers may be very excited to learn the many new tasks that collaborative robots are addressing, the many tools that have been developed to aid in selecting, designing and gaining worker acceptance and the many unique benefits that are provided, as well as the systems already available.Originality/value - The paper implies a major examination of collaborative robot technology now and in the future. Readers may be very excited to learn the many new tasks that collaborative robots are addressing, the many tools that have been developed to aid in selecting, designing and gaining worker acceptance and the many unique benefits that are provided, as well as the systems already available.
