Collaborative robots (cobots) represent a variant of industrial robots and is currently considered to be one of the fastest growing segments in industrial automation. , A cobot is a type of robot that is designed to operate alongside humans in shared workspaces. According to experts, these machines are easy to program and deploy, can increase productivity manifold, and offer high returns on investment. In fact, it is estimated that human robot collaboration can increase the efficiency of various industrial operations by 30-40%. According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), over time, the cost of cobots has decreased owing to the growing demand for such machines across various industries, including automobiles, electronics / electrical goods, food and beverages, and life sciences / pharmaceuticals. In the healthcare industry, cobots are used in medical research, patient care, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and a number of other sensitive operations where there is no scope for human error. According to a study conducted by Robotic Industries Association (RIA), revenues generated by sales of cobots is anticipated to represent 34% of the overall industrial robots market, by 2025.
