Increasingly it seems as though the rapid pace of progress in technology will make humans redundant. Automation, internetworked Industry 4.0 robots and artificial intelligence appear to move at a pace so rapid, we can be forgiven for feeling that we will be left with the final task of turning the lights off at our place of work. But is this really the case?

Distrelec Ltd, leading European distributor of electronics, automation and measurement technology, has proudly added the brand new CPS Series, released by Schurter, to their web shop. The CPS Series comprises of stainless steel, vandal resistant, push button switches with inbuilt capacitive sensor technology, developed to cater to the need for more robust momentary and latching push button switches.

Distrelec Ltd, leading European distributor of electronics, automation and measurement technology, has collaborated with Camden Boss to develop the Arduino Yun Rev 2 case and distribute the product exclusively through the Distrelec web shop.

Robot is a noun first coined by Karel Čapek nearly 100 years ago in his sci-fi play R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots). His term was based on the Czech word for forced labour. Today the concept has evolved and softened considerably: many of the current generation of robots are collaborative robots, or cobots.

Human Robot Collaboration (HRC) is a relatively new and emerging field in industrial robotics, offering significant flexibility and productivity enhancements by combining the power and precision of robots with the creative and problem-solving ability of humans. Whereas industrial robot systems were traditionally separated from humans to safeguard against injury, HRC necessitates a workspace that is shared between robot and human operator.
