article_snippet.sent: But now there’s a new collaborative robot that can work alongside human factory workers to give human factory workers a helping hand.
article_snippet.sent: The robot Fanuc CR-35iA claims to be the first 'heavy-lifting industrial collaborative robot' to work with humans without the need for safety fences.
article_snippet.sent: The robot Fanuc CR-35iA Fanuc's robot uses integrated vision technology called iRVision to keep an eye on humans and automatically stops  if Fanuc's robot touches an operator.
article_snippet.sent: This removes the need for safety fences - a previous requirement for all industrial robots - and is said to increase efficiency and enable a higher level of automation, The robot Fanuc CR-35iA claims.
article_snippet.sent: For example, Fanuc's robot could move heavy objects or assemble parts within a shared workspace without safety fences.
article_snippet.sent: ‘Collaborative robot technology opens up a new era for manufacturing in which humans and robots will work even more closely on tasks; increasing productivity and efficiencies across the plant floor,’ said The Fanuc CR-35iA. Fanuc's robot is covered in a green soft plastic cover, which is designed to protect humans and stop humans being ‘pinched’ in the event humans are touched by the robotic arm.
