[debelino]

I need to write 10 pages on this subject for my course but i don't know where to start reading. Where can I read about this subject? Could you recommend any books or forums?

What is collaborative robotics? Robots working together? People working together to design and build robots? Robots working together to build better people?

actually, robots had a lot of safety issues originally. Industry has come a long have since early 1980s and now have numerous safety devices that permit humans to interact in close proximity to them.
Cost has come down to where a simple robot with 6 kg lift ability costs about $ 35,000
