The development of ever smaller components in manufacturing processes require handling, assembling and testing of miniature similar components. The human eye meets its optical limits with ongoing miniaturization of parts, due to the fact that it is not able to detect particles with a size smaller than 0.11 mm or register distances below 0.07 mm - l...

The productivity rate of a manufacturing process is limited by the speed of any measurement processes at the quality control stage. Fast and effective in-line measurements are required to overcome this limitation. Optical instruments are the most promising methods for in-line measurement because they are faster than tactile measurements, able to co...

... Furthermore, robots are capable of doing certain labor activities but they cannot replace all tasks since only 10% of jobs can be fully automated [3]. Considering that robots cannot do all the work by themselves, the future is in cooperation between people and robots in a way that robots augment labor and help people in tasks requiring high precision, quality or strength [4], [5]. Current robotic trends show high growth of collaborative and service robots [6][7][8] which means that people recognize the benefits of working with robots and feel comfortable in their vicinity. ...
This paper presents an analysis of the number and the distribution of industrial robots in the Republic of Croatia. Also, the actual state of industrial robotics in the world is given, with the present and future growth trends, the distribution of robots by countries and manufacturing sectors. The number of robots in Croatia was obtained on the basis of a survey questionnaire sent to 1,500 Croatian companies. Regarding the question of robot ownership, 72 companies answered positively, resulting in a total of 326 active industrial robots in 2017. According to the Croatian Chamber of Economy estimates, the Croatian economy should have at least 2,000 installed robots. The paper gives a prediction for the growth trend in order to achieve 2,000 robots in a reasonable time period (by 2026). For that case, an exponential growth rate of 25.4% is required. Based on the current state of the Croatian economy, such an exponential growth is a huge challenge for the near future. The paper gives a brief critical review of the current state of industrial robotics in Croatia and provides guidelines for stimulating the application of industrial robots in the near future.
