The main topic of this paper is about the transition of traditional industrial robots to collaborative robots. Firstly, the paper starts with an overview of the types of robots which exist in the industry, then the important part of the paper is described by getting into inner details about the collaborative robot’s functionalities by which the collaborative robots are safe to work alongside human beings. Without such safety features and requirements, it is very dangerous to operate such fast moving robots as it will put the lives of humans at stake. This paper will introduce you to a new generation collaborative robot. In the experiment, TM5-700 is used in collaboration with the sick-nanoScan3 (world’s smallest safety scanner in the market) to comply with higher levels of safety standards needed for the application. Keywords: cobot, safety standards, collaborative, robots, risk assessment.
