Comau S.p.A. continues to expand its collaborative robotics portfolio with MyCo, a new family of six cobot arms designed to support safe, flexible, and efficient human-robot teaming across a wide range of industries.

“With the launch of the MyCo robot family, Comau is taking yet another concrete step in accelerating its diversification strategy,” stated Stefania Ferrero, chief marketing officer at Comau. “We estimate that the global collaborative robotics market will see a CAGR [compound annual growth rate] of 15% from 2024 to 2028.”

“This growth is driven by rising demand in non-traditional sectors such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy, and logistics, as well as increased adoption by small and medium-sized enterprises,” she added. “MyCo is a cost-effective and versatile response to these trends, offering a highly flexible, user-friendly, and transportable solution that supports safe and efficient operations in dynamic environments.”

Comau’s portfolio includes systems for vehicle manufacturing, shipbuilding, and other industries. The Turin, Italy-based company offers project management and consultancy services and has an internationally recognized training academy. It also has an international network of seven innovation centers and 11 manufacturing plants that span 11 countries and employ 3,800 people.

MyCo robots designed for ease of use

The MyCo family includes six lightweight force- and power-limited robots with payload capacities ranging from 3 to 15 kg (6.6 to 33.1 lb.) and reaches between 590 and 1,300 mm (23.2 and 51.2 in.). Comau said it designed the cobots for quick installation, intuitive programming, and easy deployment.

MyCo robots can help manufacturers shorten lead times, simplify integration, and adapt rapidly to changing production requirements, according to the company. With IP66 protection and advanced collaborative safety features, the cobots deliver reliable performance even in demanding industrial environments, it claimed.

Engineered for easy integration into dynamic production settings, MyCo is suitable for applications such as warehousing, intralogistics, packaging, arc welding, and light assembly, explained Comau. The cobots‘ ergonomic design enables close human-robot collaboration, improving operator well-being while optimizing floor space utilization and operational safety, it said.

Comau asserted that MyCo reflects its approach to automation, combining application and process know-how with user-friendly digital tools. Customers can select the best solution from the company’s portfolio of industrial and collaborative robots, or a combination of both, based on specific production needs.

The company said this flexibility is further enhanced by its advanced vision systems, Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities, and strategic partnerships with leading end-effector partners.

Comau lists features and benefits

Comau listed the following features of its new MyCo line:

  • Rapid deployment: The cobots’ lightweight design and easy programming allow for quick installation and redeployment across various tasks.
  • High precision: The robots offers repeatability as low as ±0.02mm, making them suitable for demanding tasks like arc welding.
  • Flexible integration: Fully integrated with the Robot Operating System/ROS 2, the modular designs have internal cabling and versatile mounting options (floor, wall, ceiling, or inclined).
  • Durability: Comau included standard IP54 protection against dust and water, with an optional IP66 upgrade for harsh environments.
  • User-friendly: MyCo supports graphical programming, remote calling interfaces, and manual guidance (free-drive teaching).

Last month, Comau said it is contributing to the European Union’s CONVERGING project, which aims to advance smart and reconfigurable production systems. It includes the design and engineering of the medium-payload MyCo and on a remote inspection robot for the aerospace sector.

The European Investment Bank yesterday signed a €50 million ($58.9 million U.S.) finance contract to support Comau’s research, development, and integration activities for robotics, automation, and e-mobility.

Iván Hernández Dalas: 4 Show Floor Takeaways from CES 2019: Robots and Drones, Oh My!

Image
We’ve had some time to recuperate from the madness of CES, in which more than 150,000 attendees and thousands of exhibitors displayed their latest gadgets, gizmos and yes, even robots, on the CES show floor. Last week’s reporter’s notebook focused on the collection of startups around the Eureka Park area of CES, but several of the same trends were evident on the main South Hall 2 area of the Las Vegas Convention Center, where drones, robotics, AR/VR, and gaming took center stage. While most of our time was spent at CES hosting the Service Robots Arrive in Daily Life event, we did have some time during the week to visit the show floor and record observations. Here’s what we saw on the show floor, as well as some of our own individual meetings: 1. Underwater drones make a big splash On the main floor, there was no busier aerial drone booth than the DJI booth, but that is expected given the company’s dominance in the space. But once you got past that, you noticed a lot more drone co...

Iván Hernández Dalas: How automation and farm robots are transforming agriculture

Image
Source: EOS Data Analytics Agriculture is becoming the most high-tech industry today. All the top-notch technologies are finding a place in the way we produce, harvest, and distribute our crops. And in all cases, farm automation and robots are not an affordable luxury, but a necessary minimum due to tackling the rising global food demand. Agricultural robots can mitigate labor shortages by automating tasks like planting, harvesting, and weeding, while also supporting sustainable practices. Combined with satellite imagery tools for data-driven farming, these innovations can make precision agriculture more efficient, resilient, and environmentally responsible. According to the United Nations report , by 2050, the world will need 70% more food to feed nearly 9.7 billion people. Considering this demand, farm robots and remote sensing are the cornerstone of the proper work of the supply chain. Smart machines arise for the farm Farm robots are no longer experimental concepts — they ...
