A Guide to Human-Robot Collaboration in Manufacturing

Despite the proven benefits of robotics and automation in boosting productivity, the UK ranks 25th globally for robot density. This whitepaper explores the barriers SMEs face in adopting these technologies, such as high setup costs, technical risks, and skills gaps. We also dive into the rise of "cobots" – robots designed for human collaboration – and their growing role in reshoring manufacturing, supporting high-mix, low-volume production, and addressing the challenges posed by global supply chain disruptions.
