IFR predicts high demand for post-Corona "Robotics skills"
According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), by 2022, there will be an operational stock of almost 4 million industrial robots working in factories worldwide. They will, it says, play a vital role in automating production to speed up the post-Corona economy. At the same time, robots are also driving demand for skilled workers and the Federation says that educational systems must adjust to this demand. "Governments and companies around the globe now need to focus on providing the right skills necessary to work with robots and intelligent automation systems," says Milton Guerry, President of the International Federation of Robotics. "This is important to take maximum advantage of the opportunities that these technologies offer. The post-Corona recovery will further accelerate the deployment of robotics. Policies and strategies are important to help workforces make the transition to a more automated economy."
