Learn how to use cobots

August 25, 2019 Joyce Laroche Tech

Among the leading challenges and impediments to adoption of collaborative robots by manufacturing entities is lack of proper operation know-how. With their simplicity, all that is required is a simple initial training for factory workers and they are graduated to robot operators.

For simple operations, this is enough. However, for more complicated manufacturing processes, robot operators will need advanced training to make them competent cobot handlers.

To solve this problem and to encourage creativity and competence in handling cobots, Universal Robots have started a free online class for existing and aspiring cobot operators.
