Benchtop robots, while versatile and compact, do have some limitations. Their small size means they have a limited reach and payload capacity, typically less than 500 millimeters and under 3 kilograms respectively. This restricts the size and weight of the objects they can handle. Additionally, they may not be suitable for tasks requiring high precision or complex movements. Their functionality is also limited to the specific tasks they are designed for, such as dispensing adhesives or tightening screws, and they may not be adaptable to other tasks without significant reprogramming or physical modifications.
