Safety: Force control technology enables the robot to sense external force and pressure, so that it can adjust its own strength when it comes into contact with people or other objects to avoid hurting or destroying objects, which is particularly important for the man-machine cooperation environment.
Flexibility: Traditional robots can only move on the preset trajectory, while force-controlled robots can respond immediately when encountering unexpected resistance, and adjust the movement path, which enables them to adapt to more complex and unstructured working environments.
Accuracy: Each joint of the force-controlled robot is equipped with a torque sensor, which enables them to control the force more accurately and improve the accuracy and quality of operation.
A wide range of application scenarios: with force control technology, cooperative robots can be applied to more fields, such as medical care, new retail, smart kitchens and so on. These fields often require robots to have a higher level of interaction and adaptability.
Technological innovation: With the improvement of domestic manufacturers' manufacturing capacity, a number of leading domestic manufacturers continue to realize technological innovation and pay more attention to the application of force control technology in product line layout, which also promotes the development of cooperative robot technology and the expansion of the market.
Cost-effective ratio: The cost-effective ratio of force control technology is constantly improving, which enables more enterprises to afford and apply this technology, thus expanding the application scenarios of robots.
To sum up, force control technology provides higher security, flexibility, accuracy and broad application prospects for cooperative robots, which is the key factor for cooperative robots to go to the high-end market. With the continuous progress of technology and the reduction of cost, cooperative robots equipped with force control technology will play an increasingly important role in future industrial automation and man-machine cooperation.
