                •  Machines vs Robots                                    •  Difference Between a Machine and a Robot
                •  Cobots




            In recent years, there has been a notable transformation in the world of robotics. Traditional industrial robots,
            designed  to perform repetitive tasks with  high  precision, are gradually  giving way  to  a  new  generation  of
            collaborative  robots,  or  “cobots.”  Cobots  are  specifically  engineered  to  work  alongside  humans,  augmenting
            their capabilities and enhancing productivity in various industries. The transition from robots to cobots marks a
            significant shift in the way we perceive and interact with automation.



                          Brainy Fact


                 South Korea has the largest robot concentration of any country on the planet. There are around
                 631 robots for every ten-thousand employees in South Korea.




                    Machines vs Robots


            A machine is a device that uses energy to perform a task. Machines can be simple, such as a hammer or a screwdriver,
            or complex, such as a car or a computer. Humans typically operate machines, but they can also be automated.
