The E-Series also features a slim design, a 5 kg payload and a 3 ft reach, which enables the cobot to easily handle virtually any food and beverage tasks, according to Doosan Robotics.

Further, The E-Series can work in humid environments and is both water and dust resistant, according to its developers.

Doosan Robotics expects to eventually customize the E-Series for other food and beverage applications, enabling the cobot to bake and barbeque, for instance.
