Making Cobots Ready to Hand: A Compliance Perspective

In this article, Dr Katia Bourahmoune from UTS and Acting Lead of our Quality Assurance & Compliance Research Program, explores how compliance frameworks (often seen as barriers) can actually enable innovation and adoption when applied thoughtfully.

Katia dives into the concept of “ready-to-hand” cobots, drawing on philosophical and practical perspectives to show how standards, risk assessments, and co-design approaches can help ensure cobots are not just technically capable, but also fit for purpose in dynamic, human-centred environments.

This is a must-read for anyone working at the intersection of robotics, safety, and workplace transformation.
