The merger of three robotics companies is likely to disrupt the market for end-of-arm components used in industrial robots. Denmark's On Robot is to merge with US-based Perception Robotics and Hungary's OptoForce to become Enrico Krog Iversen, which will be based in Denmark and managed by former Universal Robots CEO OnRobot. Collaborative robots, or cobots, have revolutionised industrial automation but they often need extra tools to perform specialised tasks, a need that companies such as Enrico Krog Iversen seeks to address.
