COOPERATIVE INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS AND DIGITAL INDUSTRY

Collaborative industrial robots are one of the significant technologies that have begun to take place in the digital industry. Technological developments in industrial robot systems have brought progress in the field of robot-human interaction. Collaborative industrial robots, emerging as new generation industrial robots with advanced technological sensors, actuators and control systems, actively and passively collaborate with human and contribute to factory automation. The use of soft robotic systems instead of rigid systems at the human-robot interface has assisted to ensure that safety and sensitivity parameters meet standards. In this study, a systematic analysis of collaborative robots and soft robotic systems, which are becoming popular in the digital industry, has been performed. Additionally, a comparison is made among existing collaborative robots. The impedance control which is effective in the characteristic behavior of the collaborative robots is explained. Furthermore, the concept of collaborative robots has been investigated together with the fundamental development concept and soft robotic systems
