Schaeffler s expert Moseberg is a cobot fan too Cobots interact directly with humans and safe ty cages are no longer needed he explains As a result their freedom of motion is clearly higher than that of classic industrial robots which opens up all new fields of application Obviously these new fields present completely different challenges than mass production That calls for innovative technical solutions For example in settings where medical robots are used healthcare staff patients and robots come into very close contact with each other and mea suring even the smallest forces for instance due to touch is essential Moseberg continues For this purpose we have incorporated torque sensors into strain wave gears that are able to measure such forces with very high precision while maintaining high control accuracy Moseberg expects yet another development Various technical areas are going to continue growing together The combination of AGVs au tomated guided vehicles and cobots in other words robots for versatile uses that are installed on autonomously traveling platforms and inde pendently proceed to where they re needed is a case in point Digital connectivity is another area in which value is added due to interdisciplinarity While in use cobots collect data for forwarding to IT systems in real time These systems process the information immediately and feed it back to the factory floor which enables continuous optimiza tion of the production process For Moseberg this Not least due to staffing shortages robots are increasingly used in healthcare Developments are focused specifically on hygiene sensor systems and fail safe design 13 ROBOTICS
