Importance We analyze development trends of industrial robots manufactured by the leading foreign companies by reviewing how key feasibility indicators change (price, mass, payload capacity, working range, positioning accuracy). Objectives The research identifies patterns and trends in developments of feasibility indicators of industrial robots over time. We also trace the correlation between the indicators in order to use them in the future for evaluating and forecasting the Russian robotics. Methods In this research, we examine and model indicators of large, medium- and light-weight robots. Results Feasibility indicators of industrial robots are showed to change in line with trends, being evidenced with the close correlation between results on robots of both companies under study. Conclusions There are common trends in developments of key feasibility indicators of robots manufactured by the companies throughout a long period of time. Growing prices, decreasing mass and higher positioning accuracy are observed in all the three groups of robots. The higher the payload capacity of the robots, the higher their price. Higher positioning accuracy of heavy weight robots also boosts their cost. The mass of robots also tends to increase in line with their payload capacity and working range. The findings can lay the basis for evaluating and forecasting indicators of the national robotics, which should be moved forward in order to ensure the scientific and technological security of Russia.
