The presentation will focus on hazardous-rated cobots (collaborative robots) in the U.S. and how they can be applied to finishing, powder coating, or any hazardous applications requiring additional safety precautions. Programming features that make robot use across industries significantly easier - such as drag-and-drop, manual guided teach - will be covered in detail.

In this presentation, Hope will highlight several real-world applications, including examples that could benefit from the integration of cobots, and discuss added benefits so that attendees walk away with a thorough understanding of technology options and key features.
