Rostec plans to scale its annual robot production to 6,000 units by 2030, up from the current 550 industrial robots per year, according to state corporation chief Sergey Chemezov at a meeting with Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.
Chemezov said Rostec’s existing manufacturing capacity is built around that 550-unit annual output, and the company now wants to expand it roughly tenfold over the next several years.
The company’s robots are used for a range of factory tasks, including welding, machine tool servicing, glue and sealant application, screwdriving, assembly, stacking, and quality control. Chemezov said the systems still require operator supervision, fine-tuning, and repair.
For now, the robots are used mainly at Rostec’s own facilities, though Chemezov said several units have already been delivered to Russian Railways (RZD) and the GAZ Group. Rostec expects those and other companies to buy more robots in the future.
Chemezov also said the current localization level is about 75%. According to him, Russian specialists have developed the robots' design in-house and have already registered eight patents. Domestic developers of automated systems are also building their own electronics and software.
