On the shop floor, new workers have been introduced — they are collaborative robots called in short co-bots. These machines are designed to work with humans and assist them in a variety of tasks. They are used in automative, food processing, electronics, metals and machining and pharma industries. Co-bots have been an invention from the R & D labs of Universal Robots, a Danish robot manufacturer. Bajaj in India uses co-bots for different applications — deburring, vision application, bolt tightening, sealant application, machine tending, welding etc. There is an intuitive software to mechanise robots, and even the most inexperienced user can quickly grasp the basics of programming and set waypoints by simply moving the robot into position. J & J introduced robot technology in its shampoo production line to rid the workers of repetitive tasks. Robotics will be applied extensively in warehousing networks. Universal Robots is targeting the SME sector. Co-bots are being used universally for multiple purposes — photo shoots,bartending and even physiotherapy. They are used even in robotic kitchens.
