Using a robot when performing everyday tasks is an increasingly common case. World economies base modern manufacturing on robotics. Robotics as a market is increasingly expanding, and this trend will continue in the future. The robots are used for private (vacuum cleaners, lawn mowers, window cleaning robots, entertainment robots ...) and for professional purposes (manufacturing, defense ...). The global robotics market is an area where many Start-ups are currently being developed and are emerging. The emergence and development of a large number of Start-ups is an excellent indicator of the market potential identified by entrepreneurs and investors in the ever-expanding field of robotics. Global economies base their development on modern technology, and the development of robotics is the cornerstone of technological development in many countries. Sectors such as hospitality, warehousing and logistics, transport and transportation, medicine, defense ... are becoming highly automated and their development is increasingly based on the application of modern technologies and robotics. This paper explores the development of robotics through the development of hardware and software infrastructure and technology, and the development of artificial intelligence. The global robotics markets divided into Europe, North America and Asia are analyzed. Markets are analyzed by sectors of service and special purpose robots, medical robots, and robots intended for the military industry. All the robotics sectors analyzed in the analyzed areas are currently experiencing market growth, and growth is expected to continue in the near future. The last section of the paper analyzes the Croatian start-up Gideon Brothers, a robotics market in Croatia and a survey in which respondents expressed their opinion about robotics.
