Programming, safety measures and handling of inflexibility still hinder robot implementation for many applications. However, advancements in several fields such as programming, human–machine-interfaces and safety system technology are about to change this. These advancements could make it possible for operators to collaborate with robots that assist operators at close range, without compromising safety, often referred to as cobot installations. The aim of the project was to produce a picture of how potential economic advantages can be evaluated from installations of cobot cells, to be compared with manual assembly and standard robot installations.
