Choosing the right cobot for your process: 10 top tips

When the International Federation of Robots (IFR) first started collating collaborative robot data in 2017, this new breed of robot had a market share of just 2.8 percent. The IFR’s latest report showed that that figure had leapt to 7.5 percent by 2021, with the number of newly deployed cobots growing by 50 percent year-on-year.
