Abstract: In the context of a shortage of workers, agricultural organizations use robotics in animal husbandry. The purpose of the study is to analyze the level of industrial injuries in robotic production in agriculture. The results of ranking the risks of industrial injuries in robotic production are given. The highest ranks were given to increased tension and sensory loads when working on a computer (conditional index 8.8 points), getting injured when interacting with animals (8.1 points), danger of getting injured as a result of a fall (7.0 points). The proposed author's grouping of the nature of the manifestation of industrial injuries in agriculture at a robotic workplace in comparison with the traditional one: increased risks; remained unchanged; reduced severity of symptoms. Specific recommendations are given and a set of measures is proposed to reduce the risks of industrial injuries in robotic production in agriculture, including the use of personal protective equipment.
