4. Collaborative Robots: Lending a Helping Hand
What are Collaborative Robots?
A cobot or co-robot (from collaborative robot) is a robot intended to physically interact with humans in a shared workspace. This is in contrast with other robots, designed to operate autonomously or with limited guidance, which is what most industrial robots were up until the decade of the 2010s.
Employees take charge of programming the co-bot to perform a precise task, and oversees the entire process. Employees are empowered to take charge of more projects simultaneously and work to improve current processes to boost efficiency.

5. Collaborative Robots: Definitions & Terms
By 2023, professional service robots market is expected to reach $4.28 Billion
(growing at 56.95% annual growth)
Definition, Terms & Market
Collaborative Robot – a robot specifically designed for direct interaction with a human within a defined collaborative workspace.
Collaborative Workspace - safeguarded space where the robot and a human can perform tasks simultaneously during automatic operation.
Collaborative Operation (Human-Robot Interaction) - state in which purpose designed robots can safety work in direct cooperation with a human within a defined workspace.
Intelligent Assist Device (IAD) is a Smart lift assist device, generally not incorporating an autonomous operation mode.
Cobot - an abbreviation of Collaborative Robot and also synonymous with Intelligent Assist Device.

6. Professional Service Robots: Automation
Professional service robots are a type of robot typically considered for use outside of a manufacturing facility within a professional setting. While industrial robots automate manufacturing tasks, professional service robots, which vary greatly in form and function, automate menial, dangerous, time-consuming, or repetitive tasks, effectively freeing human workers to perform more cognitive functions.
By 2021, professional service robots market is expected to reach $37 Billion

7. Professional Service Robots: They’re Everywhere
Types and Uses of Professional Service Robots
In addition to the types of professional service robots listed above, there are many more uses and forms of these robots. As an exciting new technology with major productivity potential, professional service robots are being developed and deployed in a wide range of industries and applications.
