The International Federation of Robotics reported on the key trends that will shape robotics and automation in 2023. "Robots play a fundamentally important role in securing the changing needs of manufacturing worldwide," said Marina Bill, president of the International Federation of Robotics. "New robotics trends are as attractive to small business users as they are to global OEMs." To improve business competitiveness in an era of rising energy costs, energy efficiency is a key to success. The use of robots plays a decisive role in reducing energy consumption in manufacturing.

In addition, robots today are designed to consume less energy and have lower operating costs. Resilience has become an important reason for reshoring in various industries. The shift of microchip production back to the U.S. and Europe is another reshoring trend. Programming robots has become easier and possible even for non-experts. Suppliers of software-driven automation platforms support companies by making industrial robots operable by users without prior programming experience.
