ABSTRACT Urbanization, a dominant trend in global development, is integral to economic growth and social transformation but remains primary driver of carbon emissions, threatening ecological stability climate goals. This study investigates the potential industrial robots mediate nexus between urban expansion aligning with SDG 9, 11, 13, which focus on industry innovation, sustainable cities, action. Using comprehensive dataset spanning 61 countries, we employ panel data threshold regression models examine how influence dynamics. Our findings highlight that while urbanization tends increase both total per capita can significantly mitigate these effects under specific conditions. Notably, application intensity plays critical role: when robot utilization exceeds levels, exacerbating impact emissions shifts mitigative one, underscoring transformative capacity robotics for low‐carbon development. However, facilitating decarbonization accompanied by several challenges. Addressing challenges essential ensuring are not only tools development also environmentally their lifecycle usage. provides novel insights into role as moderating force decarbonization, emphasizing need policies address drawbacks.
