Abstract
The article in question is a brief analytical review based on the materials of open publications of the state of industrial robotics in Russia on the eve and after the introduction of sanctions by the West related to the implementation of Special military operation. Despite the lack of official information, the estimated quantitative characteristics of the domestic industrial robotics market in the specified period are given and the main factors influencing its development are listed with appropriate conclusions.

Key words
Robotics market, industrial robotics, robot installation, collaborative robotics.
