Robotics in the workplace: a review study

Abstract

This article is a bibliometric review. Information data were collected using the Methodi Ordinatio methodology, which consists of searching for the research topic, keyword selection, searching for data in Scopus, ScienceDirect and Web of Science, filtering and analysis, extraction to the Zotero referencer and, finally, reading and writing. A timeline from industry 1.0 to industry 5.0 shows the human robot partnership as well as the industrial and technological evolution of robots from the 1960s to 2020. In Germany, robotic automation has decreased jobs with average qualifications in machine operation occupations by 23 %. Citrus fruit picking in Florida has an efficiency of 85 %, and it is estimated that by 2025 the profit for companies could double by 1.5 %. In New Zealand, kiwifruit production should double by 2022. This application of process modeling not only encourages sustainable supply chain initiatives, which can maximize economic gains, but also reduce environmental impacts. The McKinsey Global Institute forecasts from 2020 to 2030, job automation will increase from 30% to 47%. In conclusion, it is possible that a robot will affect jobs for citizens of low educational level. The robotic design plan at the forefront of new advances in science, technology, engineering and predictive modeling must improve, adapting to the needs of man and the development of the country, and thus be able to detect even certain emotions.
