Collaborative industrial robots are developed with the aim to perform tasks in partnership with human workers in manufacturing sectors.

An industrial collaborative robot also known as cobot, is a robot that has the capacity of learning many tasks in other to help human being.

The development of modern technology such as cognitive computing, mobile technology, touch technology and machine vision has made it possible for small robots to be conscious of their environs and do multiple tasks safely that is close to human workers.

Collaborative industrial robots often function from a fixed mounting, but there is an increasing demand for mobile industrial robots that association with a mobile based and a cobot.

Collaborative industrial robots are tools designed to support to support human workers in their work, relieving employees of many heavy, tedious and unergonomic tasks such as holding a heavy part steady in the needed position where human workers are to fit screws.

Collaborative industrial robots help manufacturers to improve on their productivity by using robots instead of human workers to complete industrial tasks.

Collaborative robots stand in contrast to traditional industrial robots, which are intended to function separately with protection assured by separation from social links. With sensors and other design features such as rounded edges and lightweight materials, collaborative industrial robots can interrelate directly with humans.

Service robots, which are for domestic and professional use, can be considered to be collaborative industrial robots as they are planned to function together with humans. Collaborative industrial robots can perform many functions, and it can be used to power repetitive and tasks that are not ergonomic such as fetching and carrying weighty parts, machine feeding, and final assembly.

Collaborative industrial robots enable electronics manufacturers to extend robotics to final finishing tasks and quality inspection. Collaborative industrial robots when working together with human workers can quickly learn tasks through demonstration and support of learning.

Many industrial robots are still independent, very expensive, large and stays behind barriers for security reasons. However, industrial robot has played a crucial part in the motorized industry and their high cost and multifaceted programming necessities have restricted their use in the other industries.

Collaborative industrial robots are not designed to supplement the human workers capacities nor take the place of human worker.  This technology called Collaborative industrial robots takes the form of arm that provide workers with an extra hand in their worker, that is, to make the work easy.

Today, these types of robots are mostly used in industries, such as supply chain management, manufacturing, healthcare etc.
