Which is better ? - Robot or Cobot 🤖
To identify which is better, we need to understand what are the different between them.
————————————
Industrial Robots: 🤖
————————————
- 🗃️Task : take on those tasks that are repetitive, hazardous or require exceptional precision, often working independently of human intervention.
- 🦾Size: they are typically larger, faster, and more powerful than cobots, with a higher payload capacity and greater range of motion.
- 🦺Safety: enclosed within the cage to protect human from any harm.
- ⚒️ Applications : include welding, painting, material handling, and packaging.
- Example: ABB , KUKA , Fanuc, Yaskawa Motoman etc

Cobot: Collaborative Robots 🤖
——————————————————
- 🗃️Task : They are built with features that prioritize safety, flexibility, and ease of use.
- 🦾Size: Their lightweight and compact design makes them easy to move and reconfigure, allowing for greater adaptability in various tasks.
- 🦺Safety: Cobots typically have force and torque sensors that allow them to detect and respond to contact with humans or objects, ensuring a safe working environment.
- ⚒️ Applications : include assembly, pick and place, machine tending, and quality inspection.
- Example: Universal Robots ,JAKA Robotics , DENSO Robotics Europe etc.
Now coming back to the question, I think it depends on the application and needs.
They both play an important roles in their own way, so I would say, based on the application, you have to decide which is better for you.
What do you think ? 🤔
Let me know, it’s always interesting to read others perspectives.
