…workplace safety, but their increasing levels of flexibility and precision are also changing how tasks such 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 of different payloads. In this Special Focus Issue, we consider how cobots have become a fast-growing segment of automation and how suppliers are turning…

…depends on supply chains operating at the highest-levels of precision possible. Materials arrive on-site just before manufacturing commences, enabling production operations to stay lean and squeeze maximum output out of available space, but leaving little slack time or margin for error. This paradigm pressures each piece of the supply chain to hold up its end of the bargain, from shipping vessels to materials handling equipment. The COVID-19 pandemic presented unique challenges to global supply chains, with lockdowns and public health effects wreaking havoc and causing delays for finely tuned manufacturing operations. But that was just the beginning – semiconductor and…
