Abstract: This paper provides a comparative sociological analysis of the application models for industrial robots in the automotive and electronics industries. The integration of robots in these two key sectors has been a significant milestone in the evolution of modern manufacturing, contributing to major shifts in production processes, labor markets, and organizational structures. Through a comprehensive review of literature and case studies, the paper identifies and contrasts the driving factors for robot adoption, the impact of automation on the workforce, and the sociocultural factors influencing these transitions. The automotive industry, characterized by high-volume production and cost-efficiency, and the electronics industry, known for precision and fast-paced production, present unique challenges and opportunities in robot integration. By examining these differences, the paper aims to offer insights into the broader social and economic implications of industrial robot deployment and its effect on industry dynamics and labor relations. The findings highlight not only the technological benefits but also the social challenges associated with automation in these industries.
