There are 3 types of industrial Robots:
1- FENCED ROBOTS: “fenced, open mobility and very fast operations”

2- SIDEBOTS: “No fence, open mobility and very fast operations”

3- COBOTS: “No fence, open mobility and slow operations”

The origins of the term are the mix between SIDEKICK and ROBOT; pronounced [ sahyd-bot ]. The first SIDEBOT ever was WYZO, an industrial delta robot developed in 2018 by a team made by 2 partners, in one side the DELTA ROBOT experts (team WYZO) and in the other side the Swiss Industrial Equipment Design experts (team SARDI).
