Abstract: The article considers the problems of regional trends in agricultural robotics. The purpose of the study is to identify patterns of robotization of agriculture in the regions in relation to the dynamics of production in the industry, the share of agriculture in the structure of the economy and the specialization of the agricultural sector of the regions. The results of the study of the dynamics of the introduction of robots and the density of robotization of agriculture in the regions and federal districts are presented. According to the results of inquiries to the regional ministries of agriculture and agro-industrial complex, the number of used robotics was 435 units. At the same time, the density of robotics in agriculture in the Russian Federation reaches 0.75 robots per 10,000 workers, the greatest value of this indicator is observed in the Ural Federal District (2.16). The highest density of robotics by regions is observed in Kaluga (42.7) Ryazan (14.1) and Sverdlovsk (6.3) regions. There are several groups of regions in terms of the density of agricultural robotics and the dynamics of growth of agricultural production. In regions with a low share of agriculture in the structure of the economy, the highest values of the density of robotization of production are observed. Specific recommendations are given for the use of robotics in regions with a share of agriculture below 10‰, which can help increase the pace of agricultural production. Appropriate measures need to be developed to accelerate the introduction of robots into agricultural production to prevent technological backwardness of the industry.
