DEDHAM, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–New ARC Advisory Group research on the Collaborative Robots Market reveals that collaborative robots, or “cobots,” are gaining significant traction in manufacturing by providing a safe and easy-to-program option to enable robots and human workers to work side-by-side safely and efficiently in plants and factories.

“To get the full benefits from human-robot collaboration, manufacturers must develop integrated strategies that combine data analytics, design thinking, anthropological workflow design, and new partnership ecosystems. Manufacturing and robotics are natural companions, and single-arm robotic installations on a factory floor are very popular,” says Rajkumar Paira, Senior Analyst at ARC Advisory Group and key author of ARC’s Collaborative Robots Global Market Research 2017-2022 report.

An emerging market trend is intelligent robots with integrated vision guidance and enhanced sensors that are more adaptable and IoT-enabled to collaborate with human workers. There is also an increasing demand, particularly among electronics manufacturers, for easy-to-use, low-cost modular cobots to perform simple assembly tasks that do not require high precision.
