Easy to Program the Collaborative Universal Robots

The introduction of collaborative robots has brought two major improvements: safer human-robot collaboration and robot programming. As safety features have been discussed in a past blog post, this post will deal with the ease of hand guided programming. Here are a couple of examples on how easy it is to program a collaborative robot. We have focused this article on Universal Robots because of the amount of content we have found on the subject. But basically all collaborative robot models are capable of working this way.
