National competitiveness

2027 edition · 20 countries

2. China

China combines sensing, robot hardware and electronics manufacturing with product development and dense supply chains. Industrial-robot demand supports this manufacturing base.

Evidence and sources

IFR 2025 industrial-robot installations and domestic supplier share; manufacturer and customer records; research, financing, testing and shared development infrastructure.

3. South Korea

Korea combines research investment with NAVER's cloud-based robot coordination, KAIST's learned locomotion control and university-led robotics commercialization.

Evidence and sources

NAVER's internal operations; KAIST's July 2026 HOUND experiments and February 2026 report on technology-transfer and investment activity. The March 2026 testbed demonstration and planned external access retain separate stages. Economy-wide research indicators provide context.

4. Japan

Japan brings perception and motion generation into established manufacturing processes, building on robotics and precision-control capabilities.

Evidence and sources

JARA calendar-2025 production and shipments, IFR installations, robot-control and customer records. JARA includes dedicated manipulators; production and installation measures retain separate definitions.

12. Sweden

Sweden connects robotics research and industrial tasks through WARA Robotics and WASP doctoral training, alongside ABB development, ISO standards work and Hexagon's humanoid programme.

Evidence and sources

WARA's December 2024 industry-linked challenge and WASP's May 2026 graduate statistic; domestic ABB development and multinational Hexagon activity retain their locations. The new ABB campus is scheduled for 2027.

15. Israel

Israel develops observation-based physical manipulation and driver-assistance technology, supported by research investment and national AI computing access for academia and industry.

Evidence and sources

Manipulation development, eyes-on SuperVision assistance and acquisition records. January 2026 national computing infrastructure is operational; accelerator allocations extend over subsequent years.

17. Italy

Italy’s industrial robotics integration extends into Comau’s AI-enabled warehouse testing and validation for the European MASTERLY project.

Evidence and sources

IFR manufacturing installations, Italian automation supply and European testing infrastructure. Comau reported Decathlon warehouse validation on 9 September 2026; the customer warehouse location is not established by that release.

19. Norway

1X’s April 2024 announcement describes development of a Moss, Norway facility linking engineering, actuator manufacture, robot assembly and testing.

Evidence and sources

Company-reported manufacturing development in Moss, Norway, announced 2 April 2024. The cited announcement does not establish completion or current operating capacity.

20. United Arab Emirates

The UAE brings external autonomous-driving technology into local transport services. Dubai passenger-operation records support its adoption and operations role.

Evidence and sources

Dubai RTA’s passenger-service report dated 19 August 2026. Operational figures relate to the service period stated in that report; announced expansion and the 2030 transport target remain prospective.
