Definitely, the industrial robotics industry is a significant sector. According to Wikipedia, Japan currently employs over a quarter of a million industrial robot workers. In the next 15 years, Japan estimates that this number will increase to over one million, with projected revenue for robotics reaching nearly $70 billion by 2025. This growth is remarkable.
I recently watched a feature story on a late-night news channel about this topic. The latest development in industrial robotics is the transition from "assembly line style" robots, which perform a single function in an assembly line, to robots capable of performing up to 15 different functions.
Previously, a factory would have required 15 separate robots to assemble a product, but now a single robot can accomplish the task. Moreover, if the robot needs its right and left hands to work together (for example, when assembling small or delicate parts or lifting something from point A to point B), the left and right arms can now be connected to the same CPU, enabling the robot to effectively replace a human worker.
Undoubtedly, Japan is at the forefront of this industry, surpassing other countries in terms of advancement. It is a thriving sector for the country.
