Many Manufacturing industries prefer application-specific robotic systems, and therefore, the vendors are offering application-specific articulated robots to the manufacturing companies. For instance, automotive companies prefer articulated robots specific to assembling applications, as this is one of the core competencies of automotive companies. Therefore, the vendors need to provide unique articulated robots as per the company’s requirement. Thus, many vendors are developing customized robots, which help vendors to create a competitive edge over the competitors in the market.”
