7-axis OB7 American cobots are 100% teach-by-hand, and fully deployable with no programming. Instead of code, you teach OB7 by showing it what to do: each task becomes a reusable "tile," and a job is just a series of tiles dragged together, right down to opening the machine door and pushing the start button. OB7 sets up fast, is safe to work alongside, and keeps your machines running lights-out 24/7 while it handles the repetitive work. 👉 Automate with confidence. See what's possible: https://www.productiverobotics.com/ob7-series FAQs: Does OB7 need programming? No. You teach OB7 by physically showing it what to do. Each task is saved as a reusable tile, and you build a job by dragging tiles together, no code and no robotics background required. What can OB7 automate? OB7 tends machines and handles repetitive production tasks, even opening and closing the machine door and pressing start, so it can run a machine lights-out 24/7 while freeing your skilled people for higher-value work. What is a cobot? 'Cobot' is short for collaborative robot; a modern class of exceptionally safe, versatile, trainable robotic arms that can take over repetitive manual tasks. They are helping businesses from one-person shops to enterprise operations automate almost anything. In this video: • Zero Programming: teach OB7 by showing it the job, no code • Tiles: every task you show OB7 is saved as a reusable tile and dragged into future jobs • Tends the Whole Machine: opens and closes the door and pushes the start button, not just load/unload • Rolling Base and Built-In Assembly Table: easily redeploy the OB7 cell to other machines • Safe Alongside People: collaborative by design, works next to your team • Lights-Out 24/7: handles repetitive work unattended, so machines keep running About OB7: The only 7-axis American cobot. Available in 5 sizes to match your reach and payload needs. OB7's range of motion reaches behind machine doors and tends virtually any CNC or shop machine without blocking operator access and without repositioning between jobs. No programming. No cage. No integrator. About Productive Robotics: We're a leading US manufacturer of 7-axis collaborative robots. We put automation within reach for all of us. Our machine tending, laser welding, and MIG welding cobots are trusted in 500+ operations across North America, including our own. Designed, built, and supported in the USA since 2010. #ProductiveRobotics #AmericanCobots #OB7 #MadeInUSA #ZeroProgramming #CNCAutomation #MachineTending #LightsOut #Cobot #Manufacturing #Robotics #Automation

The new single-arm YuMi is ABB’s most agile and compact collaborative robot yet and can easily integrate into existing production.

Safe and mobile man-robot-collaboration for a flexible use in your production and made possible thanks to Power-Cobot TX2touch and mobile robot HelMo.

Sensitive robotics -- A new era in industrial robotics is beginning. 40 years after the first industrial robot was used, KUKA is opening a new chapter in the history of industrial robotics with the LBR iiwa. "LBR" stands for "Leichtbauroboter" (German for lightweight robot), "iiwa" for "intelligent industrial work assistant". As the first series-produced sensitive robot suitable for HRC, the LBR iiwa is opening up new areas that were previously closed to automation. More here http://www.kuka-lbr-iiwa.com/en

Universal Robots has reinvented industrial robotics with lightweight, flexible robot arms called Cobots or collaborative robots. Tasks previously thought impossible to automate due to cost and complexity, are now achievable with the user-friendly robots. The Danish-designed robot arms work separately or as dual arms demonstrated here with the UR5 cobot. In more than 45 countries, from the small machine shop to the large auto assembly line, Universal Robots optimize production, relieve employees from strenuous or monotonous tasks, and ensure quality control.

Sawyer is a single arm, high performance, collaborative robot designed to execute machine tending, circuit board testing and other precise tasks that have historically been impractical to automate with traditional industrial robots.

NEXTAGE is envisioned as a production / manufacturing robot that works alongside human workers. http://www.plasticpals.com http://robot.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/20091119_330030.html

Future Makers: in this movie filmed by Dezeen in London, Suryansh Chandra claims the affordable robotic arm his company Automata is developing could lead to robots becoming as ubiquitous as desktop 3D printers. "Today, every design studio has a 3D printer," Chandra says. "Soon, we hope to get to the point where every design studio has a robotic arm." Chandra founded Automata together with Mostafa Elsayed five months ago, after they became frustrated by the expense and complexity of industrial robots while working at the research division at Zaha Hadid Architects. "If you're out to get a robot today, you'd have to spend 50 or 60 thousand dollars," Chandra explains. "Our goal is to democratise robotics through a low cost hardware platform and easy to use software." Automata's first product is a plastic six-axis robotic arm called Eva, which weighs 2.3 kilograms and will cost $3,000 (£2,000). "Unlike industrial robots that are heavy and expensive, Eva is low cost and lightweight," Chandra says. "She can pick up 750 grams when fully outstretched and about a kilogram in a more recessed position." Eva is designed to be extremely easy to operate. Users will be able to move the arm into the positions they want by hand and the robot will repeat the movement. "We've made the software so simple that you can practically do it without any programming," Chandra says. "You can physically move the robot from one point to another and it records the motion and plays it back flawlessly."
