ASSISROB: SybXL, design, innovation and challenge of a heavy payload cobot

Designed to address the need for a collaborative robot that can handle heavier loads than those available in the market, SybXL is an innovative heavy payload (35 kg) cobot that is the result of collaboration between CEA-List and industry. While not all the challenges relating to the design of such a cobot have been met to date, major scientific advances have been made, such as a double-acting cable cylinder which synchronises the axes or a balancing system with multiple springs.
