The article describes the development and defines the change of approach in the development of today's industrial robotics, provides an overview of the latest trends in the field of industrial robotics. Until now, the industrial robots have been deployed to less demanding work environments to perform "only" handling operations and to synchronize the operations of individual facilities. Now they are undergoing a major innovation process, the bulk of which is focused on increasing their intelligence and multi-functionality.

The paper describes the state of the development, production and utilization of industrial and service robots. It shows the fields of highest deployment of robots. The year 2010 was a break-through and since that year the production of industrial robots has increased each year and the estimated number of produced robots in 2015 is 200 000. The paper also points out the increasing trend of use of service robots as well as mentions main producers and countries with high potential deployment of robots.
