Are You Still Doubting Collaborative Robot Safety???

As I visit different shops and laboratories to discuss the potential of robotic integration, the major concern is always safety. And this is totally legit, you really don't want you or your employees to get hurt in their everyday job. However, collaborative robots are doing a great job on the safety side of things. Force limited robots are really the rising trend in the industry right now and not just for functional reasons, but also for safety reasons. It is now easier to automate a process without having any type of guarding around the robot arm. But what does it all means? Can we really trust these force sensors?
