In 2015, ABBs YuMi® set a new standard. 100% collaborative robots, or Cobots. Humans and robots could finally work 100% safely and productively side-by-side, without barriers. YuMi stands for “You” & “Me” and together we create an automated future with endless possibilities. ABB's YuMi and Single-arm YuMi along with the latest GoFa are 100% collaborative and safe Cobots. These robots have 7-14 axes, various integrated safety features, and contribute to exciting automation solutions where humans work alongside robots.

Cobots offer many advantages and bring high flexibility to production. They are incredibly easy to integrate and program with their lightweight design, lead-through programming, and Wizard Easy Programming for SAY, SWIFTI, and GoFa. Additionally, they occupy minimal space as all safety features are integrated into the robot itself. Cobots like YuMi, SAY, SWIFTI & GoFa can be used for many different applications. They are particularly suitable for small parts assembly, fast and precise assembly, testing, inspection, material handling, and packaging.
