Universal Robots’ cobots are typically used in industrial settings to perform repetitive tasks. Labman are utilising their potential for more advanced science driven applications.
As William McColl from Universal Robots explains, the company focuses on building the best robotic arms possible while relying on integrators like Labman to implement these solutions across diverse industries, including pharmaceuticals, biomedical research, and manufacturing.
Unlike traditional industrial robots, cobots from this industry leader are designed to be adaptable and safe, allowing them to work alongside human operators without the need for extensive safety barriers. This collaborative aspect is particularly valuable in laboratory settings, where flexibility is paramount. By integrating cobots, we’re helping laboratories operate more efficiently while allowing researchers to focus on higher-level analytical work rather than repetitive manual processes.
While some companies remain hesitant to trust robots working alongside humans, Universal Robots has built its reputation on creating cobots that are not only safe but also intuitive to use.
Universal Robots’ philosophy aligns perfectly with Labman’s mission: to develop scalable and efficient automation solutions that empower laboratories. Whether through stationary cobots, mobile robotics, or advanced safety features, this partnership is shaping the future of lab automation, ensuring that technology enhances human capabilities rather than replacing them.
As a member of Universal Robots’ Certified Systems Integrator network, Labman continues to enjoy a strong working relationship with the UR team. With their support, Labman has developed deep technical expertise in integrating these systems to meet customer needs and address challenges in this rapidly evolving field.
With ongoing advancements and a commitment to innovation, Labman and Universal Robots will continue to lead the way in transforming laboratories, making them more efficient, accurate, and ready for the future.
