Abstract
Robotic arms are modelled after the human arm and offer speed, accuracy and strength that in its sum by far exceed the capabilities of humans. Conversely, an area where the technology of industrial robots had not caught up yet was the sensitivity to external forces. Today, integrated technologies such as ABB Force Control allow robots to react to the forces that are applied to their end-effectors, while the ABB YuMi represents an entirely new kind of sensitive robot that can assemble small parts and collaborate in a safe way with humans.
