// the signal · what the data says
Collaborative and industrial arms are the proven, profitable side of robotics. Universal Robots defined the cobot category; FANUC, KUKA, ABB and Yaskawa (the 'big four') dominate heavy industrial automation. Repeatability (sub-0.05mm) and payload are the core spec trade-off.
