Abstract

Industrial robots are one of the main driving forces of the fourth industrial revolution and one of the most promising technologies for increasing the degree of automation in modern production. Since their entry into mass industrial production in the 1960s, they have evolved significantly, and today they are being implemented in the construction of high-tech smart manufacturing enterprises. With the development of technique and technology, industrial robots are becoming more productive, flexible, versatile, safe and easy to use, revealing new possibilities for modern industrial ecosystems. As a key tool for improving efficiency and productivity, they enter a number of sectors such as automotive, mechanical engineering, energy, electronic production, food industry, space sector, defense, etc.
The purpose of this report is to present the status and trends in the development of robotics and its spread among the industrial sectors of the economy. The results of the research show the state of the global robotics market and Bulgaria’s place in it.
