Ford workers in Germany may be getting a hand from an unlikely source.
Recently, Ford announced that it will develop and employ a team of collaborative robots to work alongside factory employees. These “co-bots” will be used to assist with fitting shock absorbers to Fiesta models at Ford’s Cologne, Germany-based plant. Furthermore, these co-bots can be programmed to do everything from making coffee to shaking hands, which is sure to make for an interesting work experience.
Karl Anton of Ford of Europe has stated, “Robots are helping make tasks easier, safer and quicker, complementing our employees with abilities that open up unlimited worlds of production and design for new Ford models.”
