As an important demand and application country in the global market, although China's robot industry started late, its development speed and potential are amazing. In recent years, with the continuous help and drive of policies, enterprises, capital and other factors, the development of robots in China has also achieved remarkable achievements, and at the same time, it presents a thriving development trend and future trend.
Robots are known as "the jewel in the crown of the manufacturing industry". They are a strong driving force for industrial transformation and upgrading, an important helper for promoting the development of the national economy, and the key to enhancing national strength and competitiveness. In recent years, in the context of the continuous dissipation of the demographic dividend and the increasing demand for automation, robots have ushered in explosive development on a global scale, and every achievement they have achieved, every step of their progress, and every future trend All of them have attracted people's attention.
For domestic enterprises and users, the most concerned is undoubtedly the development of China's robots themselves. As an important demand and application country in the global market, although China's robot industry started late, its development speed and potential are amazing. In recent years, with the continuous help and drive of policies, enterprises, capital and other factors, the development of robots in China has also achieved remarkable achievements, and at the same time, it presents a thriving development trend and future trend.
No.1 domestic robot development status
At present, the development of robots in my country has transitioned from the initial stage to a period of rapid growth. It not only occupies an important proportion in the world in terms of application and demand, but also is very gratifying in terms of scale and growth rate. According to the "China Robot Industry Development Report (2018)", as of 2018, my country's robot market has exceeded US $8.5 billion, with an average annual growth rate of nearly 30% in 5 years, and the development is very strong.
At the same time, with the continuous expansion of the market scale, the rapid expansion of application fields, the continuous acceleration of the localization process of core components, the emergence of a large number of innovative enterprises, and the increasingly prominent advantages in some areas of enterprises, China's robots have gradually shown three obvious characteristics in the industrial development.
One is that the development of three types of robots is accelerating. At present, China's industrial robots are developing particularly rapidly, accounting for about 1/3 of the world's market share, and have become the world's largest demand and application market for six consecutive years. At the same time, the demand potential of service robots is huge, and the scale and highlights are constantly expanding under the guidance of applications in household, education and public fields. In addition, the expansion of the scope of application scenarios of special robots has also brought the market into an important period of ready development, the continuous emergence of various types of products is catalyzing the final outbreak of the market.
The second is that the phenomenon of industrial clusters is becoming more and more obvious. At present, around the core links of the robot industry chain such as ontology manufacturing, system integration and parts production, more and more robot industrial parks and small towns with different characteristics are being built around the country, such as Xianghe, Xiaoshan and other robot towns. They came into being under the cooperation between government and enterprises or the strong combination of enterprises, promoting the development of the industry from dispersion to agglomeration, and bringing important help to the further maturity of robots in our country.
The third is the acceleration of the respective advantages of regional industries. In the process of domestic industrial agglomeration, my country has formed six major agglomeration areas, including the East, the West, the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. These agglomeration areas are due to differences in economic development level, industrial foundation, market maturity, and talents., Formed their own unique advantages. In this context, at present, various regions are accelerating mutual cooperation and exchanges, and are promoting the accelerated development of the industry through complementary advantages.
No.2 in the short term development trend appears
Based on the above development status, what is the development trend and direction of China's robot industry in the short term?
The first is the application of accelerated extension. Whether it is industrial robots or services, special robots, the premise of accelerated development is to further expand and deepen the application field. Judging from the current application of robots in the industrial field, it has begun to accelerate its extension from traditional fields such as automobiles and electronics to emerging fields such as new energy, environmental protection, warehousing and logistics. It can be seen that the expansion of future applications to new areas and the sinking of subdivisions is a major trend in the short term.
The second is the emergence of leading enterprises. Leading enterprises are an important force in driving the industry to maturity. At present, a number of small and medium-sized enterprises with high business level, industry reality and mature application solutions have emerged in some emerging market segments, which have a certain foundation for the cultivation of leading enterprises. According to the national policy for the attention and support of leading enterprises, it is conceivable that the training of leading enterprises in the future will be another direction of short-term development.
Finally, innovation and entrepreneurship speed up. Innovation and entrepreneurship is one of the directions that the government encourages development in the new era. For the robotics industry, the government encourages related companies to accelerate the development of entrepreneurship and innovation. At present, some enterprises with the ability to transform technological research results have begun to unite with the government and enterprises at home and abroad to promote the development of industrial innovation and innovation through the construction of a service platform for technology sharing and risk sharing. Under this trend, the improvement of enterprise innovation and entrepreneurship ability will become normal in the future.
No.3 Long-term trend of future development
After seeing the short-term development trend, what kind of trend will China's robot development pursue in the long run? The author thinks that there are mainly three points: cross-border integration, human-computer cooperation and three in one.
In other words, cross-border integration is "robot", and the following subject can be a series of industry terms such as medical treatment, education, finance, industry, agriculture, etc. Cross-border integration is about the long-term goal of robot application and large-scale commercial application. Only when robots are applied on a large scale in traditional industries can they show their actual value and realize the mature development of the industry. During the two sessions this year, the government work report specifically proposed a new concept of "intelligence". From another perspective, it is also further emphasizing that the trend of robot cross-border integration needs to be implemented for a long time.
Human-machine collaboration is well understood, that is, the collaborative and integrated development of human and robot, which is the ideal state of human-machine relationship in the future. At present, although "machine substitution" has caused many people's panic and worry, it is still too early for robots to completely replace people because of their technical deficiencies and lack of consciousness. In view of this, before the real emergence of robots with human consciousness, it is believed that the development of human-computer cooperation will be the main theme in the long term.
The three in the three-in-one specifically refers to intelligence, lightness and flexibility, which are the three main directions pursued by the current robot development. Whether it is intelligent, light or flexible, on the one hand, it is the basis to ensure the further improvement of the application in the field of robotics, on the other hand, it is the key prerequisite to promote the development of human-machine integration. Therefore, under the long-term maintenance of the future trend of human-computer collaboration, the integration of the three technologies to promote the development of robots will also be an important trend in the future.
