This paper investigates the pivotal role of robotics technologies within the framework of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0). As manufacturing and service sectors undergo profound digital transformation, robotics — encompassing collaborative robots (cobots), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), industrial manipulators, and AI-integrated systems — emerges as a cornerstone technology. Through statistical analysis, comparative tables, and sector-based evaluations, this study demonstrates that the global industrial robotics market is projected to exceed USD 74 billion by 2028. The research explores key enabling technologies (IoT, AI, machine learning, digital twins), economic impacts (productivity gains of up to 30%, labor market shifts), and current challenges including interoperability, cybersecurity, and high implementation costs. The findings confirm that strategic integration of robotics is indispensable for achieving the efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability goals of Industry 4.0.
