Experiments Show Universal Robots' Repeatability

There are a relatively large number of robotic applications that require approximate or rough accuracy. Packaging or pick-and-place are often precise to 0.5 mm. With the introduction of collaborative robots, detractors will claim that these robots aren't precise enough. However, if you are ready to accept that your collaborative robot will be less precise than an industrial one, well, choose a collaborative robot for its other features like safety. But, if we go back to the basis of this problem, what is accuracy? And what is the accuracy of collaborative robots?
