Beyond the Factory Floor: Cobots as the Ultimate Growth Hack for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs)

In this article, Postdoctoral Researcher Mariadas Capsran Roshan at Swinburne University of Technology in the Quality Assurance and Compliance research program explores ‘Beyond the Factory Floor: Cobots as the Ultimate Growth Hack for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs)’.

Roshan highlights how collaborative robots, or cobots, are transforming automation by making it accessible to SMEs, which have traditionally been excluded from automation advancements due to high costs and complex infrastructure. Unlike traditional industrial robots, cobots are designed to work safely alongside humans, offering a flexible and cost-effective solution to challenges such as labour shortages and rising operational expenses. Roshan emphasises the affordability, adaptability, and user-friendliness of cobots, which make them an ideal choice for SMEs with limited resources.
