…with similar levels of on-pendant programming capabilities. While simplicity is typically an advantage, an operator who has experienced working with traditional robots from a certain manufacturer may prefer cobots from that same manufacturer due to interface similarity. Ask suppliers for a demonstration of cobot models you are interested in, either in person or through instruction videos, when evaluating ease of…

…same fundamental problems. The Perl programming language motto, “there’s more than one way to do it,” perfectly captures what is happening in the robotics space. In contrast, the Zen of the Python programming language, which is “there should be one — and preferably only one — obvious way to do it,” is starting to blur in robotics. 2. The emergence…

…The video below demonstrates a programming method that the Southwest Research Institute developed where a cobot can be taught visually, which tends to be easier than code-based programming for repeatable tasks. To help illustrate this, consider the deep-frying robot from the safety section. At first, it might seem like programing a robot to pick up a fry basket of food…
