World’s Largest Hub for Collaborative Robots Opens in Denmark
With financial backing from their joint U.S. parent company Teradyne, Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR)and Universal Robots (UR)have acquired a 50,000 m2 building site in Odense, where $36 million will be invested in the construction of a major cobot hub in the “cobot capital” of the world. Collaborative robots – or cobots – are now the fastest growing segment of industrial automation. Cobots are a type of user-friendly robots that can work closely with humans without the need for safety guarding, enhancing both work environment and productivity.
The new cobot hub supports Teradyne’s mission to further strengthen the significant leads that both MiR and UR have established worldwide.
