// ROBOTICS AND SMART FACTORIES TERM
Robotic Process
A series of automated steps or actions performed by a robot or a system of robots to complete a manufacturing task.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
A Robotic Process refers to a sequence of automated operations executed by industrial robots, often integrated with other machinery, to perform specific manufacturing tasks such as welding, painting, assembly, or material handling within a production line.
BACKGROUND
The Fourth Industrial Revolution, also known as 4IR, Industry 4.0 or the Intelligence Age, is a neologism describing rapid technological advancement in the 21st century. It follows the Third Industrial Revolution. The term was popularized in 2016 by Klaus Schwab, the World Economic Forum founder and former executive chairman, who asserts that these developments represent a significant shift in industrial capitalism.
