It is known that human population is increasing year after year, there is also a constant increase of automation and modernization of all production processes as well as the production processes of an automobile industry. This results with increasing production of the new motor vehicles every year in a total number of motor vehicles, and also increasing of the new vehicle models and opening of the new factories of motor vehicles. For such given conclusion of production enlargement of motor vehicles, the new technologies that are responsible are: information technologies, sensor technology, robotic technology and new production technologies. An application of the new technologies looks back in adoption of new products, tool production, speed and accuracy of production. The production processes in automobile industry were amongst the first in which industrial robots were beginning to apply, and were used for automation of process while performing different jobs. The application of industrial robots in production processes of automobile industry is increasing from day to day, and their application for performing those jobs that, until today, could not be carried out with the industrial robot. The development of sensor technology, i.e. the equipped industrial robots, robot's vision enabled to perform these jobs. This paper provides the role of industrial robots in development of automobile industry in Europe and the world.
