By 2030, Russia Could Enter the Global Top 10 in Robot Density
By 2030, Russia aims to enter the global top ten in robot density, a key metric showing how many robots are deployed per number of employees
Robotics as a National Priority
According to Ivan Kalinov, CEO of Yandex Robotics, the Russian government plans to allocate roughly $3.8b toward robotics development through 2030. With this support, the domestic robotics market may reach nearly $6.6b, and more than 100,000 robots could be deployed across the country.
Survey Signals Strong Demand
In 2025, Yandex Robotics and Industrial Robotics surveyed 112 mid‑ and large‑size businesses in retail, e‑commerce, and logistics. The findings show that 88% of companies plan to use mobile robots in warehouses, while 71% expect to integrate more than ten robots into various operations.
Where Robots Already Work
In agriculture, robots now handle soil treatment, weeding, crop monitoring, and seeding assistance. In housing and utilities, inspection robots detect building defects, mulching robots maintain roadside zones, diagnostic robots scan heating pipelines, and other systems sort waste and mow lawns. In healthcare, robots assist with rehabilitation, help diagnose diseases, and support surgeons in operating rooms. Industrial robots already operate at factories and logistics hubs, clean turbine components at nuclear plants, control drilling rigs, move airport luggage, and deliver goods.
