Questions about cobot makers

What is cobot?

A cobot (collaborative robot) is an industrial robot designed to work in close proximity to people, with safety functions that limit speed, force, or distance so that fencing can be reduced or removed after a risk assessment.

Which cobot makers have named customers?

Our deployments tracker lists 15 cobot deployments for 4 of the 17 companies on this page, each with a named customer and a source: Universal Robots (8), Yaskawa Electric (4), FANUC (2), OMRON (1). 14 of the 15 are in production; the rest are pilots or announcements.

Who owns the cobot makers on this list?

For the 2 we have profiled: KUKA: Owned by Midea; Universal Robots: Owned by Teradyne (Nasdaq: TER). Each profile gives the source for its ownership and funding.

How is this list made?

Each row is written from the company's own website and dated. Deployment counts come from our tracker, where every entry needs a named customer and a source that loads. Being listed is not an endorsement, and nobody pays to be listed or ranked. The list is in alphabetical order.
