5 million robots are now at work in factories worldwide, the IFR reports
The IFR (International Federation of Robotics) reports that 5 million robots are now working in factories worldwide, according to The Robot Report. China still leads the world in industrial robot installations, and the U.S. and Germany are also significant markets.
For the 806: This counts robots already working, not a forecast. The excerpt we saw doesn't say what share is new or what the robots do, so read the IFR's report before drawing conclusions for your own shop floor. The geography is the useful part: China leads installations, with the U.S. and Germany also major buyers.
