Abstract: This paper investigates the relationship between industrial robot applications and export growth using data from 54 major exporting countries from 2010 to 2018. We find that industrial robot applications have positive effects on exports by reducing export costs and upgrading product technology. This effect is stronger in economically advanced countries. Moreover, technological innovation and educational investment amplify the impact of industrial robots. These findings offer valuable insights for policymakers seeking to optimize industrial robot integration to foster export.
