All industrial sectors are undergoing a transformation of production processes through the implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies. The automotive industry, as one of the most dynamic sectors, is also experiencing significant changes due to increasing demands for more efficient, flexible, and sustainable production. In this context, a key factor in enhancing the performance of production systems is the implementation of industrial and service robots, while more recently, greater attention is being given to the integration of humanoid robots. This paper aims to provide a comparative analysis of the role of industrial and humanoid robots as drivers of efficiency and flexibility in the automotive industry. The analysis is based on criteria such as speed, precision, adaptability, implementation costs, and human-robot collaboration capabilities. In addition to the theoretical overview, the paper includes case studies from real-world applications, highlighting the practical impact of these technologies. The findings suggest a complementary role of both robot types and emphasize the importance of their integrated use within modern production frameworks such as Industry 4.0 and smart factories.
