Collaborative robots—cobots—work alongside humans on factory floors, warehouses, and labs without safety cages. Unlike traditional industrial robots, cobots are designed for flexibility, easy programming, and safe human interaction through force-limiting sensors and intuitive interfaces.
AI enhances cobots with vision systems for object recognition, adaptive grasping, and real-time path planning around human coworkers. Applications range from assembly line assistance to quality inspection and material handling in logistics centers.
For developers and integrators, cobot projects combine robotics APIs, computer vision, and workflow software. EddyTools supports teams bridging software development with physical automation deployments.
- Program cobots through visual interfaces and APIs
- Add AI vision for pick-and-place flexibility
- Integrate cobot data with MES and ERP systems
