Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Today, robots are actively being introduced in all sectors of the economy from the production of industrial goods to the service sector. The leader in this area is China, it is ahead of the United States and Europe. Russian industrialists are quite conservative in technological updates. It was emphasized that robotics and automation, combined with the cybernation, mark a radical turning point in society. The importance of industrial automation in solving technical, technological, socio-economic and environmental problems is shown. Models of economic growth in industry, in particular P. Romer, confirm that the rate of economic growth is directly dependent on the amount of technological innovations. The negative aspects of automation, which consist in a sharp reduction in employment, are also emphasized, but long-term forecasts, on the contrary, indicate its increase, but a change in the structure of professions.
