The use of robots seems limited in Sweden but that is because it's used mainly in the manufacturing industry and not in public. You will hardly see any robots in restaurants or other service areas. Things are quite different in other countries that use more visible robots in public.

You will be surprised that Sweden is in the top 10 list and ranks sixth on the list with most robots per employee, with 343 robots per 10 000 employees [1].

South Korea has the highest density of robots per employee in the world with 1012 robots per 10 000 employees. In recent days there has been a big buzz about the Naver's 1784 Building and all the robots that serves Starbucks coffee in the building. This was already news back in 2022 in ddaily.co.kr

Here is a video on how the robots work in the Naver 1784 building serving the employees.
