Abstract
The combination of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Blockchain technology has enabled dramatic advances in the field of collaborative robotics (cobots). This article investigates the synergistic integration of AI along with Blockchain in cobot technologies, with the goal of improving capabilities, productivity, and security. This study contributes to the existing discussion about the intersection of AI and Blockchain providing an understanding of possible applications, problems, and advantages of their combined deployment in cobot technologies. The conclusions provided in this work have implications for researchers, technicians, and industry experts who want to fully realise the promise of intelligent automation while being secure and transparent.
