Podcast: Robots That Work With Us
Christine Bush, director of the Robotic and Motion Center of Excellence in Raleigh, guides visitors through the factory floor.
Cobots (collaborative robots) are designed to work alongside people, assisting with repetitive or physically demanding tasks. As manufacturers face labor shortages and search for ways to improve productivity, these robotic systems are becoming an important tool for supporting workers and keeping them at the center of production.
In this TechCast episode, we speak with Christine Bush of Schneider Electric about how cobots are being deployed in modern manufacturing environments. Bush shares the best use cases for collaborative robots, the role they play in building resilient, sustainable industrial operations, and how manufacturers big and small can adopt robotics on the factory floor.
