One common error is underestimating the payload and reach limitations of cobots, leading to inefficient task allocation. Another pitfall is neglecting to assess the complexity of the application; while cobots excel in collaborative tasks, they may not be suitable for highly specialized or heavy-duty operations. Additionally, overlooking safety considerations can pose risks, as cobots require stringent safety measures to ensure human-robot interaction remains safe. This means all peripheral equipment of the cobot should be considered equally in the risk analysis. Clamping, edgy or other hazardous end effectors should be safeguarded. The reduced speed of the collaborative robot when working in the near vicinity of an operator should also be taken into account. While production can continu while working next to a cobot, it might not be as fast as a conventional robot and worth the while to allow a short production stop from a conventional robot during interaction. Cobots are an excellent piece of equipment for many applications, though research, clear understanding of application requirements, and collaboration with experienced integrators are essential for making informed decisions when selecting between cobots and conventional robot arms.
