The introduction in the Eurasian Economic Union countries of industrial robots and robotic systems designed for the automation of technological and business processes was discussed on June 26 in Minsk at the EEF 2025 round table "Application of Robotic Systems as a Driver for Competitiveness of Industrial Enterprises of the EAEU Member States" with the participation of Gohar Barseghyan, Minister in charge of Industry and Agriculture of the Eurasian Economic Commission.
"Currently, the leading countries of the world are developing and implementing national strategies for introducing industrial and service robots and robotic systems in various economic sectors. The issues of automation and robotic applications in technological processes are especially topical for industry and agriculture, where significant professional resources are required," Gohar Barseghyan stressed.
It is known that the leading nations of the world have a robotic application ratio of over 100 or even 1,000 industrial robots per 10,000 workers. On the initiative of businesses and government agencies of the EAEU countries, the Robotics Eurasian technology platform is being created in the Union, and the Industrial Robotics interstate program is being developed. The task is to achieve mass introduction of efficient industrial robots and robotic systems in industry over the next five years.
For this purpose, it is practical to ensure smooth interaction between sectoral associations, research institutions and industrial enterprises of the Eurasian Five countries, to proceed to the implementation of specific investment projects in robotics.
"Given the relevance of the topic, the Commission, within the framework of the current financial mechanism, is ready to support specific projects for serial production of industrial and service robots and the corresponding modernization of enterprises. We are already working on finding required cooperation projects," summarized Gohar Barseghyan.
