The size of a benchtop robot can significantly affect its functionality. Smaller robots are typically more versatile and can be used in a variety of applications, including knitting, machine tending, parts feeding, testing, and inspection tasks. They can also dispense adhesives, polish and tighten screws, and solder parts on assembly lines. However, their small size also limits their reach and payload capacity. For example, benchtop robots are typically classified by their reach of 500 millimeters or less with a payload capacity under 3 kilograms. Therefore, while smaller robots can be more versatile, their functionality may be limited by their size.
