Abstract: Globally, use of industrial robots increased by 60% in last decade. In case of developing country, use of industrial robots is a bit tricky. This paper presents a functional model to explain use of robots and productivity link for industrial environment of a developing country. Presented model is based on three scenarios; human solo (existing), robot solo (substitute) and combination of human and robots (complement). Taking production 'P' as dependent variable, we determined its mathematical value for three scenarios. After detailed analysis with a help of latest software GeoGebra and 3D wireframe graphs, we concluded that in human solo scenario, factory production remain low in short run but increases in long run; in robot solo scenario (substitute), production increases in short run but decreases in long run more than human solo scenario; while production increases in short and long run when robots are used mixed with human effort.

Keywords: robot; human; solo; substitute; complement; industry; production; short run; long run; increase; decrease. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
