…and dust resistant mainly for handling but also for welding. And, it’s a bunch of history. We're going back to the red color that has been always the iconic color of Comau robotics. One particular solution we are very proud of is our Mi.RA/OnePicker. We are talking about a system for picking that through a visual system can recognize objects of different dimensions and decide what actions to do. That is also part of our strategy. We are a company with a long heritage in the automotive business. But we are now moving in other sectors. And this is why…

…of collaborative arms, as of late, has been arc welding, said Joe Campbell, senior manager of strategic marketing and application development at Universal Robots. Arc welding involves connecting pieces of metal electrically and is often used by metal fabricators. “In our world, it’s three times bigger than it was a couple of years ago,” he told Robotics 24/7. “It’s actually a little over 6% of our total volume. That’s new, and it’s continuing to grow every month.” Universal Robots recently reported a record annual revenue of over $311 million, up 41% from 2020 and 23% from 2019. While Universal Robots…

…a robotic welder, it considered several automated and traditional welding companies and ultimately decided on a unit from Hirebotics. The key factor in the decision was ease of use. “When we started looking into the technology, we saw just how easy these robots were to operate,” recalled Montes. “That was the real game changer for me. From my perspective, it would be a waste of time and money acquiring a robot, only to have it sit unused because it was too hard to operate.” To achieve ease of use, a number of design techniques come into play. “Hirebotics’ cobot runs…
