Our take
Cobot is a robotics manufacturer setting out to incorporate robots into our everyday, having them work alongside us in all walks of life. It is building a collaborative robot named "Cobot", but so far remains mysterious by not disclosing any details as to what exactly it will be. It has, however, explained that its robotic systems will be neither humanoid or a mobile manipulator, instead focussing on the synergy between humans and robots - hence the titular nod to collaboration.
Collaborative robots are expected to account for about 10% of total industrial robot sales by 2025, so Cobot's target could certainly be a lucrative one. Founded in 2022, the company has already caught attention for its "Flywheel Program", that delivers hands-on experience with robotics deployments for its clients' teams.
The company is initially looking to target sectors such as bio-tech, logistics, healthcare and manufacturing and it’ll be exciting to see how this grows as the company scales. It’s still early days for Cobot, and though all the talk behind the project is thrilling, we will have to wait to see if the product lives up to both ambitions and its impressive funding rounds.
