Collaborative robotics, also known as cobotics, refers to the use of robots that work collaboratively with humans in a shared work environment. Unlike traditional industrial robots, which are often designed to work separately from human workers, collaborative robots are designed to interact safely and effectively with humans, sharing workspace, tasks, and responsibilities.
One of the main advantages of collaborative robotics is its ability to combine the strengths and skills of robots and humans. Collaborative robots can take on repetitive, dangerous, or physically demanding tasks, allowing human workers to focus on more complex, creative, or cognitive tasks. This can increase productivity, improve product quality, reduce the risk of accidents, and promote harmonious collaboration between humans and robots.
Our laboratory is equipped with robots from the most popular brands and models on the market, as well as tools, cameras, and scanners specific to this type of application. It is an ideal environment for comparing them and quickly testing their effectiveness based on the tasks you have in mind for them. Reduce the risk of your investment by making an informed choice. In addition, CRVI can improve their performance by combining them with artificial intelligence as needed.

Industrial robotics is a branch of automation that focuses on the use of robots in production and manufacturing environments. It involves the application of programmable robots and robotic systems to perform various tasks and processes in manufacturing industries.
Industrial robots are designed to perform repetitive, precise, and often physically demanding operations with high efficiency and consistent accuracy. Tasks commonly performed by industrial robots include welding, assembly, material handling, lifting and moving heavy objects, sorting and packaging, and quality inspection. These robots can be programmed to follow precise trajectories, detect objects, take measurements, communicate with other machines, or integrate with control and supervision systems.
The use of industrial robotics offers many advantages, including improved productivity, quality, and precision of operations; reduced labor costs; increased safety by eliminating dangerous tasks for workers; and flexibility in adapting to changes in production and market demands.
Industrial robots can be used in a wide range of industries, such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, logistics, food processing, and many others. They are often integrated into automated production lines, working collaboratively with other machines and human operators to optimize manufacturing processes.

Computer vision, also known as artificial vision, refers to the ability of a computer system or machine to visually perceive, interpret, and understand the world around it. It relies on the use of algorithms and image processing techniques to analyze and extract information from images or videos.
Digital vision systems use a combination of techniques such as filtering, segmentation, feature extraction, classification, and decision making to interpret images and extract relevant information. They can be used in a variety of applications, including industrial inspection, security surveillance, text recognition, augmented reality, autonomous navigation, robotics, medicine, and more.
Digital vision relies on technologies such as pattern recognition, machine learning, computer vision, and artificial intelligence to improve its capabilities and accuracy over time. It can be combined with other technologies such as robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), and embedded systems to create more advanced applications and systems.
