collaborative robots

These are the wave of the future! They are versatile, relatively safe, can be mass produced, easy to program, easy to repair, and not extremely costly. I got to demo the Universal Robot UR series, as we are getting one (possibly more) at work. So cool!

It also has deeper level of programming similar to Python.

Has anyone else messed with one of these collaborative 'bots?

the UR5 works out at 22,000 euros that's approx £16,227, $24,633
Still a bit much for a hobbyist robot

I should clarify; I meant for an industrial robot.
