What’s a cobot vs an industrial robot?
Collaborative robots (cobots) are built to work safely alongside people without guarding; traditional industrial arms are faster but usually need a safety cage.
How precise is it?
See the repeatability spec (in mm). Lower is more precise — most cobots repeat to within ±0.05 mm, easily handling assembly and machine tending.
How hard is it to program?
Modern cobots use drag-to-teach or tablet programming — you guide the arm through positions by hand. Complex jobs may still need an integrator.
