Abstract

Introduction: Industrial robotics has experienced exponential growth in recent decades, transforming production processes across various sectors. Objective: This research aims to analyze the scientific output on industrial robotics and its impact on innovation and productivity growth within the context of Industry 4.0, through a bibliometric study of publications indexed in Scopus between 1985 and 2024. Methodology: A documentary research design was used, with the literature review carried out in two phases: first, a bibliometric analysis of the “industrial robotics” category, and second, the identification of the most impactful results. Results: It is evident that, although technological advances offer significant improvements in resource management and productivity, they also face challenges in their implementation due to high costs and technical complexity. Conclusions: Projections suggest that emerging technologies will increase their adoption in the coming years, facilitating traceability and security within supply chains. Studies show that the adoption of these innovations represents a crucial step toward a more efficient and sustainable industry, although inclusive strategies are required to overcome current barriers.
