Ahead of the trade fair for the automation and robotics industry, automatica, from 27 to 30 June in Munich, the trend index shows the hopes associated with automation and robotics. Around half of those employed in Germany see this as an opportunity to combat the shortage of skilled labour.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A large majority considers the Use of artificial intelligence software such as ChatGPT to provide useful assistance in future<\/strong>to make decisions in the workplace. These are the results of the automatica 2023 trend index, for which 1,000 employees in Germany were surveyed by a market research institute.<\/p>

Almost every second respondent in Germany sees the The use of robots as an important to very important way to overcome the shortage of skilled labour.<\/strong> in the industry. 68 per cent are in favour of robots supporting employees so that older people can stay in work for longer. 84 per cent are of the opinion that relieve skilled workers in the workplace by having machines take over hazardous or unhealthy tasks<\/strong>. 72 per cent of employees also see the advantage of using robotics to prevent the migration of industrial production abroad.<\/p>

When machines with digital technology are used in the workplace, control must always remain in the hands of people - 45 per cent of respondents in Germany are firmly convinced of this. This result is remarkable in an international comparison: in Japan, for example, less than a fifth (18 per cent) are in favour of such a strict course. In China (35 per cent) and the USA (38 per cent), calls for human control are also significantly weaker than among employees in Germany.<\/p>

\"Robotics and AI software such as ChatGPT will characterise the workplaces of the future. If we use these technologies correctly, we can improve working conditions enormously,\" says Patrick Schwarzkopf, Managing Director of the VDMA Robotics + Automation Association and member of the automatica Advisory Board.<\/p>
