Collaborative robots have exploded in popularity over the last decade, now automating a wide variety of industrial and laboratory tasks. But the term “collaborative” robot is sometimes used incorrectly. If you’re just starting to automate, or even if you’re an automation expert and don't fully understand the intricacies of what makes a robot collaborative, this webinar will be time well spent.

Industry expert Brian Powell will explain industry standard ISO15066 which defines the three types of collaborative robots, various types of collisions, and factors affecting robot speed. Risk assessments will be discussed, and lastly, Powell will share how to determine if a collaborative robot is right for a particular application.
