Mapping the evolution of robotics as an industry: new RENIR working paper
Industry 4.0 may be regarded as an emerging approach to the adoption of next-generation robotics for
industrial applications. This working paper sheds light on the current state of robotics, with a particular focus on
robots for industrial applications. The research combines publicly-available information from company
press releases, news articles, peer-reviewed journals and trade and industry reports.
The paper is organized in four sections. Section 1 discusses some definitions of robotics and robotics subclasses,
and various robotics classifications. Sections 2 and 3 provide a snapshot of demand and supply of
robotics, and offers some insights into select regional markets and global technological trends. Section 4
describes the challenges and opportunities surrounding robotics and Industry 4.0, and the future impact of
these technologies.
