The International Federation of Robotics’ new World Robotics 2020 Industrial Robots report shows a record of 2.7 million industrial robots operating in factories around the world — an increase of 12%. Sales of new robots remain on a high level, with 373,000 units shipped globally in 2019. This is 12% less than in 2018, but still the third-highest sales volume ever recorded, said the IFR.
