Abstract
Industrial robotics is transforming the manufacturing landscape by improving efficiency, precision, and safety. With the rise of Industry 4.0, robotics is becoming increasingly integral to global production systems. This article explores the future of industrial robotics, focusing on key technological advancements, challenges in integrating robotics into traditional manufacturing environments, and the prospects for increased automation. We examine collaborative robots (cobots), the application of AI and machine learning in robotics, and the challenges of adapting workforce skills to new robotic systems. Furthermore, we discuss the potential economic and social impacts of widespread robotics adoption.
