Abstract
In today’s dynamic and global economic environment, technological innovations are a key determinant of international competitiveness. In the field of automation and robotics, the development of modern technologies is of particular significance, influencing not only industrial progress but also social aspects. Automation and robotics play a crucial role in the concept of modern industry, contributing to the creation of more sustainable, flexible, and human-centric production systems. The article aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the patent activity in automation and robotics in Europe. Patent documentation serves as a source of knowledge about the directions of research, inventive activities, and consequently, the innovative and competitive potential of the economy. The number of patents over time reflects the dynamics of a country’s technological development. The article discusses the use of patent databases to evaluate a country’s innovation in automation and robotics. The conducted analysis of data on European countries enabled the identification of trends based on the International Patent Classification and specialisation from a geographical perspective using revealed comparative technological advantage. The European countries were classified using cluster analysis, demonstrating the diversity, and identifying leaders in each group.
