Cobots are collaborative robots designed to operate alongside people. This emerging field is set to have enormous impact in diverse sectors from manufacturing to healthcare. However, before cobots can become ubiquitous and widely accepted, their interactions with humans must be verified to be safe, reliable and adaptable. The proposed research addresses these challenges by developing new technologies for capable and safe cobots, and will use a cobot that is unique in Canada as a research testbed. The innovations developed will enable Canadian companies to create safe and capable cobots for key international markets, and establish Canadian leadership in collaborative robotics.

协作机器人是设计用于与人一起操作的协作机器人。这一新兴领域将对从制造业到医疗保健的各个领域产生巨大影响。然而，在协作机器人变得无处不在并被广泛接受之前，必须验证它们与人类的交互是否安全、可靠和适应性强。拟议的研究通过为有能力和安全的协作机器人开发新技术来应对这些挑战，并将使用加拿大独特的协作机器人作为研究试验平台。开发的创新将使加拿大公司能够为主要国际市场创造安全和有能力的协作机器人，并建立加拿大在协作机器人领域的领导地位。
