Summary/Abstract: Innovative infrastructure and facilities of cities increase the industrial production performance and give them competitive power. An innovative city brings together industrial zones, cooperatives, manufacturers' R&D activities and innovation capability and other factors. Urban innovation is becoming more important because of the rapid technological transformation, robots, autonomous systems, brain-machine interface systems and advances in artificial intelligence. The transfer and adoption of latest technological innovations by cities for the service of their city residents both increase the urban innovation capacity and transform them into smart cities. Within the framework of this study, the phenomenon of urban innovation is examined based on secondary data. In this context, firstly, the concept of urban innovation is examined and then, the dimensions of urban innovations are investigated. In the following part of the study, some examples of different urban innovations and robotics and autonomous technology that are used or adviced to be implemented especially in metropolitan cities are given. In the last part of the study, some exploratory studies in the literature on urban innovation and robotics technology are summarized. In the conclusion part, a general evaluation is made.
