This paper presents some trends in robotics and automation that have increased in recent years, being one of the causes the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective of this work is to provide a point of view in the orientation of research in developing countries and contribute in the teaching of these subjects in pre and post grade. The different robots use artificial intelligence, with industry 4.0 criteria, to integrate and coordinate different types of robots to have greater efficiency, flexibility, productivity and safety of the processes, in addition to increasing quality and profitability. These networks of robots are being applied in manufacturing, health, food, beverage, textile, wood, plastics companies, and other sectors of the economy.
