Industrial robots, speed up the shift to high-end

Recently, the China Robot Industry Alliance released data that the market share of domestic industrial robots fell to less than 27% last year, a decrease of 6 percentage points year-on-year, the first decline in 5 years. Since 2013, my country has become the largest consumer of industrial robots for 5 consecutive years. Benefiting from strong market demand, the domestic robot industry has maintained a rapid growth of 20% in the past five years. Industry experts said that the current industrial robot industry is at a critical stage of transformation and upgrading. my country should focus on upgrading core key technologies, guide and standardize the development of the industry, and actively deploy next-generation robots to win opportunities for the industry to move toward mid-to-high end.
Significant progress, but the core key technology is weak, industrial applications are concentrated in the low-end
In 2017, the output of domestic industrial robots reached 131,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 81%. As of the end of 2017, there were more than 6,500 robot-related companies nationwide.
In recent years, governments at all levels in our country have issued a series of supporting policies and measures, and the robot industry has made great progress. According to Zhao Huicun, an engineer at the Tianjin Institute of Science and Technology, the development of my country's robotics industry is showing new characteristics of accelerating the transition to mid-to-high-end, with significant improvements in core components and system integration, and some aspects have approached or exceeded international standards.
However, industry experts also pointed out that due to the lack of core technologies for key components such as precision reducers, controllers, servo systems, and high-performance drives, the overall competitiveness of domestic independent brand industrial robots in the international market is not high.
my country's robot products still have low-end applications. Most domestic robots are used in low-end fields such as handling and palletizing, but the results are not obvious in the fields of multi-degree-of-freedom robots, interactive robots, and fully autonomous mobile robots.
With first-mover advantages and technological accumulation, the four major brands of abb, Yaskawa, Fanuc and KUKA occupy a high share of the domestic industrial robot market, especially in the field of high-end industrial robots. The market share of domestic robots only accounts for about 30%, and most of them are mainly assembled and processed on behalf of. Experts remind that at present, my country's robotics industry needs to be alert to the signs of low-level redundant construction and blind development. Some companies mainly rely on various government subsidies to survive. This situation urgently needs to be changed.
At the critical turning point of transformation and upgrading, we should actively deploy a new generation of robots
With the deep integration of information technology, especially the Internet, artificial intelligence and other technologies, the robotics industry is at a critical turning point in its transformation and upgrading. In the future, robots will not only be used in manufacturing, but will gradually enter all aspects of daily life. At present, traditional industrial robots have entered an era of low added value, and there is an urgent need for upgrading.
Many industry experts said that in the future, robots will achieve a major transformation from "machines" to "robots", and the new generation of robots will be more intelligent, which provides a path for my country's robotics industry to move toward mid-to-high end.
Thanks to the introduction of new technologies, robots can fully cooperate, collaborate, and integrate with people. The new generation of robots is often called collaborative robots, and it is regarded as an important direction for future robot upgrade development by countries all over the world.
Because it can be grafted with artificial intelligence technologies such as vision and voice, collaborative robots are also considered to be the most realistic path for robots to achieve intelligence. They have very important application potential in new retail, rehabilitation, education, and other fields.
my country is the largest market for robot applications, and it can provide enough application environments to detect and improve product performance, thereby transforming market advantages into technical and industrial advantages.
The government and the market pay attention to the robot industry, which is conducive to the development of the industry, but it must be rational and objective, rather than blindly support it. At present, there are many theories and paths for the upgrading and development of various robots, but not all of them can withstand scrutiny. We should focus more on the technology itself, be guided by market demand, and focus on the areas that represent the development trend of the industry. Only in this way can it be possible in the new generation of robots. Take the lead in industrial upgrading.
