Feb 5,2020: Denmark’s Minister of Industry, Business and Financial Affairs, Simon Kollerup, unveiled world’s largest cobot hub in the city of Odense. It will become the new home of Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) and Universal Robots (UR), the two flagships in the thriving Danish robotics industry.
The companies will share 334,000 square feet space in a new “cobot hub” in the city of Odense, the heart of Denmark’s rapidly expanding robotics cluster.
With financial backing from their joint U.S. parent company Teradyne, Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) and Universal Robots (UR) have acquired a 50,000 square metre building site in Odense, where $36 million will be invested in the construction of a major cobot hub in the “cobot capital” of the world.
Collaborative robots – or cobots – are now the fastest-growing segment of industrial automation. Cobots are a type of user-friendly robots that can work closely with humans without the need for safety guarding, enhancing both work environment and productivity.
