Encoders & cobots: the missing link

Collaborative robots rely on an integrated system to operate efficiently and with precision. Encoders provide the ancillary motion feedback, whether it's conveyor position or motor speed feedback, so all axes of motion work together.

Use our Encoders & Cobots resource library to learn how encoders provide motion feedback and support industrial automation systems that include collaborative robots.

Using conveyor speed feedback and AI, SCARA robot sorts recyclables

Everest Labs in Fremont, California, is an innovative company building AI-enabled operating systems. Using a SCARA robot with pick-and-place operation, their system sorts materials passing by it on a conveyor, using an AI to distinguish materials and identify recyclables.
