Growth for Collaborative Robots in the Post Pandemic Era

ARC’s research into Collaborative Robots, otherwise known as Cobots, provides insights on the cobots market in the post pandemic era. The market for cobots will continue to experience double digit growth over the next five years. Cobots are one of the latest technologies that revolutionize the automation industry. Unlike their industrial robot counterparts, cobots are designed to operate in proximity with human operators while addressing productivity challenges such as throughput, quality, efficiency, and accuracy. The elimination of the installation of safety safeguards in the factory space is a key advantage for using a cobot solution, as manufacturing flexibility, smaller factory footprint, and quicker redeployment can be achieved to adapt to the market and supply chain uncertainties.

Collaborative Robots Strategic Issues

Collaborative Robots Market TrendsIn addition to providing a five-year market forecast, the Collaborative Robots market research report provides detailed quantitative current market data and addresses key strategic issues as follows.

More Higher Payloads, Longer Reach Cobots

Most leading companies offer lightweight cobots supporting payloads in the range of 0 to 16 kg. Now, more companies also offer cobots with higher payloads of 20 kg and more, and with longer reach, to address a demand in this gap arising from new applications.

6-axis Articulated Arm as the Mainstream Type

The cobots market is mostly dominated by 6-axis articulated arm type robots. Almost all the suppliers have this product offering. However, some companies also include 7-axis articulated arm type robots as part of their robotic portfolio offering. The supported payload for the 7-axis articulated arm type for most cobots are mostly below 10 kg.

Collaborative SCARA is provided by a small number of companies as part of their product lineup.

Articulated Arm Cobots

Many automation companies include an articulated arm into their portfolio through partnerships, acquisitions, or in-house development.
