Shaping the future with Slovenian robotics
MODERATION: Igor Kovač
Speaker: Igor Kovač, Miloš Petković, Miran Domajnko, Erih Arko
Slovenia ranks very highly in terms of robot density per employee in industry (306 robots per employee, 7th in the world and 3th in Europe according to IFR data for 2023). Activities include the development and production of robots, robot components, the integration of robots in a wide range of applications and the development and implementation of artificial intelligence and advanced machine vision methods in intelligent robot systems. The basis for the further development of robotics are people with professional skills who receive high-quality education and cooperation with strong research groups with internationally recognised results. Therefore, robotics, which also includes automation, represents an important part of the economic impact of the Slovenian economy.
