How Edge Computing Powers Real-Time Cobot Safety Systems
Collaborative robots, or cobots, are now working alongside humans in factories and warehouses, but the safety challenge is serious: a cobot needs to react to a human's movement in under 10 milliseconds to prevent injury. This episode examines how edge computing makes that possible by processing sensor data locally rather than sending it to the cloud. Lucas walks through a real deployment at a BMW assembly plant near Munich, where 48 cobots share a single edge node running a custom vision model that detects proximity and adjusts torque in real time. Luna challenges the cost argument and asks…
