Abstract

Automation of certain processes in assembly systems used to be too expensive for SMEs, but thanks to small, lightweight robots, there is now a new cost-effective option. The new robots make it possible to work without security barriers, thereby opening up new approaches for work design, especially in manual assembly systems.
