The Central Economic Work Conference put forward to support enterprise technological transformation and equipment upgrading. Industrial robots are a powerful tool for technological transformation of enterprises. What is the status of this industry in China? How will the future force?
China's industrial robot industry has great potential for development
At present, industrial robots dominate the robotics industry and are most valued by the industry. According to Wang Natural, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a researcher at the Shenyang Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the demand for robots in China will grow rapidly. The main reason is that the cost of labor increases. Machine substitution can not only increase production efficiency, but also save costs in the long run.
In recent years, the demand for robots in China has grown significantly. In 2013, China became the world's largest robot market. In 2014, it accounted for about 1/4 of global sales. Driven by market demand, China's robotic industry has developed rapidly. Qu Daokui, chairman of the China Robotics Industry Alliance, introduced that at present, there are more than 30 large robot development zones and industrial parks in China. There are more than 100 listed companies with robot concepts, and there are more than 1,000 robot-related companies.
There is still great potential for the development of the robot industry in China. In the world, the robot popularity is usually measured by the possession of robots per 10,000 workers. At present, China has 23 robots for every 10,000 workers, and 300 for Japan and South Korea.
Robotics and applications have important strategic value in the future international competition. Major countries in the world have introduced policies to encourage the development of the robot industry. The United States has released a report on the development of robots, placing robots and the Internet in an equally important position; the European Union has launched the world's largest civilian robot R&D program. China is also working out a development plan for the "13th Five-Year Plan" of the robotics industry. "Made in China 2025" lists robots and high-end CNC machine tools as the ten key areas that need to be vigorously promoted to achieve breakthrough development.
Core technologies and key components rely on imports
At present, China's domestic robot market share only accounts for about 30%, and is mainly at the low end of the industry. High-end robots rely heavily on imports. According to experts, the gap between China's industrial robots and developed countries is mainly in core technologies and key components. Most of the key components such as precision speed reducers, controllers, servo systems, and high-performance drives rely on imports. The cost accounts for more than 70% of the total production cost. The cost of purchasing core components is already higher than the overall selling price of foreign robots of the same model, which makes it difficult for domestic companies to win in the international competition.
“The upper reaches of the robotics industry are the core components, which are equivalent to the “brains.†This sector is basically dependent on imports. The middle reaches are the robot body, which is the “body†of the robot, and the downstream is the system integrator. Currently, 95% of companies in China are concentrated in This link.†Qu Dao-kui said that hundreds of domestic and large enterprises have been homogenized and expanded in the low-end market. China's robotic industry urgently needs to comprehensively break key components and core technologies, consolidate its industrial base, and achieve sustainable and healthy development.
Should take the lead in the next generation of robots
Right now, information technology, especially Internet, artificial intelligence and manufacturing are deeply integrated, and the robotics industry is entering the “2.0 eraâ€. Qu Dao-kui believes that it is currently at a critical turning point. "Robots have not only been used in the manufacturing industry, they have also entered various areas of human life, and all kinds of robots have gone all the way to the market. Traditional robots have entered the era of low added value, and they need to be upgraded. New robot products are gradually maturing. ".
"The development of artificial intelligence and Internet technology will provide robots with a powerful "back-brain" to improve the level of intelligence." Wang Yun-nai explained that with the development of materials science, "soft-body robots" can be made from artificial muscles, etc.; combined with brain science , can make some of the behavior of the robot directly under the control of people; and the combination of life sciences, will produce lifelike robots.
According to experts, the gap between traditional domestic industrial robots and foreign countries is large. To achieve catch-up, it is possible to speed up the intelligent layout and integrate robots with IT technology, big data, networks, and artificial intelligence to take the lead in the development of next-generation robots.
