Hope the COBOT

As a result of COVID-19, Yamaha WaveRunners Manufacturing Facility has needed to increase energy use for increased factory air turn over for employee safety. To combat this, Yamaha WaveRunners Manufacturing Facility installed a pilot collaborative robot on the WaveRunner assembly line that uses less electrical energy than traditional industrial robots.
