Delta empowers cobots with advanced cognitive capabilities

Michael Mayer-Rosa, Senior Director, Industrial Automation Business Group Delta Electronics EMEA and Global Head of Intelligent Robot Systems (IRS), Delta Electronics, said, "Through integration with leading digital-twin platform technology, we have bridged the gap between our D-Bot series cobots and the field of AI, essentially enhancing our cobots' 'brain'. With the Cognibot Kit, we are now taking the next step by providing our cobots with 'eyes' and 'ears.' We are also significantly expanding our Intelligent Robot Systems team at our Stuttgart site to better serve our customers."

Delta's D-Bot series, which debuted at Hannover Messe 2024, has since been recognised with the prestigious 2024 Red Dot Award: Best of the Best and the 2025 German Design Award. The D-Bot ecosystem continues to expand, now featuring seamless integration with leading digital-twin platform.

Delta's Cognibot Kit sets a new standard in robotics by enhancing conventional cobots with powerful cognitive functions. Designed for simple installation on the robot flange and powered by the Power AI Box, the kit enables intuitive, safe, and efficient human-robot collaboration. It combines state-of-the-art sensor and AI technologies for smooth, intelligent, and highly responsive operation.

At Hannover Messe, Delta will showcase D-Bots fully integrated with AI and smart vision systems, demonstrating improved precision, adaptability, productivity, and safety across various manufacturing environments.

"The Cognibot Kit makes cognitive robotics accessible to companies of all sizes," explained Michael Mayer-Rosa. "This is particularly beneficial for countries like Germany, where medium-sized enterprises are prevalent and face labour shortages. The ease of integration into existing environments was a key focus, enabling smaller companies to leverage the efficiency and flexibility of automation in production, logistics, and service at a cost-effective solution."
