Russia Has the Second Largest Number of Service Robot Manufacturers In the World

According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) in 2019, Russia has the second largest number of service robot manufacturers in the world, surpassing Japan and China.

According to the International Federation of Robotics, the United States topped the list with 223 service robot manufacturers, followed by Russia with 73, followed by Germany (69), China (64), France (52) and Japan (50).

Oleg Kivokultsev, development director of Promobot, told the satellite news agency that the robotics industry in China and Japan is dominated by the manufacture of industrial robots, but also home and educational robots.

According to Kivokurtsev, Japanese and Chinese robot makers generally occupy the market that has taken shape at low prices. "As the market for service robots is still in the process of being formed, service robots do not yet have a universal look and functionality, and Japanese and Chinese companies are still waiting and seeing," he said. I think that once there are robots that are acceptable to the mass market, these countries will be able to introduce their own solutions to the market and catch up. "

The International Federation of Robotics defines service robots as robotic devices used in public places, including consulting robots, guided robots, administrative robots, delivery robots, diagnostic robots and exoskeleton robots.
