…as machine tending, packaging, and welding are done. However, many small and midsize enterprises (SMEs) are reluctant to invest in systems for high-mix, low-volume applications. Integrators must evaluate the latest sensors, software, and end effectors for different use cases. In addition, researchers, integrators, and end users must consider the level of interaction with human co-workers, environmental conditions, and the safety…
