What are the challenges behind the booming robotics industry?

Can domestic robots be satisfied? At the 2016 China Robot Industry Promotion Conference held in Wuhu, Anhui Province on the 13th to 16th, Sun Feng, deputy director of the Equipment Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said: Although the industry has broad prospects for development, the domestic robot industry " The overall pattern of small, weak and scattered has not changed. The standard system of domestic robots needs to be improved. The independent innovation of key components still needs to be broken. The opportunities and challenges of domestic robots coexist.

The market expansion, capacity upgrade, the robot industry ushered in "spring." According to the National Bureau of Statistics, from January to November this year, China's industrial robot production was 64,000 units, an increase of more than 90% over the full year of 2015. In just five years, China’s robot manufacturing companies have grown by nearly 3,000.

Qu Daokui, chairman of the China Robot Industry Alliance, said that robot products should be interconnected and technically unified. "So many robot companies have grown up, and if there is no industry standard, it is difficult to coexist and develop."

The robot industry is developing at a high speed, but the relevant standards have not yet formed a system. At the conference, the China Robotics Industry Alliance released several industrial robot standards and began to develop a number of standard systems including service robots, in an effort to guide enterprises to strengthen their core competitiveness through standardization.

“To achieve certain standards, the market recognizes robots, which in turn encourages companies to upgrade their technological capabilities.” Cai Ronghua, deputy director of the Industry Coordination Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, pointed out that it is necessary to continue to improve the robot testing and certification system, promote the adoption of certification results, and guide market consumption. Behavior, realizing self-discipline in the industry and forming a social consensus.

At the same time, the future development of Chinese robots is inseparable from the support of basic theory and core independent technology. “Without the basic research, the development of robots cannot be broken.” Ding Han, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and dean of the School of Mechanical Science and Engineering at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, said that manufacturing, rehabilitation and national defense security are the three directions that China’s robot development needs to focus on in the future.

An eight-axis linkage welding robot accurately controls the automatic welding of different angles of the workpiece by controlling the displacement, and can rotate the various welds of the welded workpiece to the optimal position. The innovative products of industrial robots exhibited by Guangzhou CNC Equipment Co., Ltd. at the conference were praised by the viewers.

In 2006, Guangzhou CNC Equipment Co., Ltd., which entered the industrial robot industry, relied on independent innovation. After several years of research and development, it has mastered the complete independent intellectual property rights of key components such as robot controllers and servo motors, enabling the enterprise's robot business to follow the previous "Become a "leader".

According to relevant data, the domestic multi-joint robots sold a total of 6,225 units in the first half of the year, accounting for 32.3% of the total sales of industrial robots, and the proportion continued to increase. Among the four components of industrial robots, the cost of the robot body only accounts for 22% of the total cost, while the cost of the core components of the robot, such as the reducer and controller, accounts for nearly half of the total cost of the robot.

The core components determine the performance, quality and price of the product. Experts pointed out that the key components rely on imports, resulting in the cost of domestic robots lacking a competitive advantage in the international arena.

"At present, the core components of China's robot products have finally taken the pace of localization." Qu Daokui believes that the proportion of independent technology in the field of robot manufacturing has gradually increased from 10% a few years ago to about 30% now. Although there are still imbalances in the overall development of China's robot industry, some of the leading domestic robot companies have begun to align with the top international standards.

In the interview, the reporter learned that the reducer company of Harbin Institute of Technology Robotics has independently developed a precision cycloid reducer with innovative structure and obtained a number of invention patents, which will help reduce the cost of domestic robot products.

According to the statistics of the International Robot Federation, the global sales of industrial robots in 2015 was 248,000 units, a year-on-year growth rate of 12%. The global industrial robotic ontology market grew from $8.5 billion in 2013 to $12.3 billion in 2015. Among them, China's industrial robots have accumulated a total of 66,700 units of annual sales, accounting for more than 1/4 of the global industrial robot market. China has been the world's largest industrial robot consumer market for three consecutive years since 2013.

At the conference, Park Yong-no, member of the Executive Committee of the International Robot Federation, described the prospects of the global robot market from 2016 to 2019: the total output of industrial robots reached 1.4 million, and more than 42 million service robots entered the home, with cumulative sales exceeding $20 billion.

Ding Han believes that from the perspective of development trends, the "main battlefield" of industrial robots is a large-scale manufacturing industry. China's manufacturing industry ranks first in the world, and the manufacturing sector is the most complete. Domestic robot companies are more familiar with the characteristics of various sub-sectors in China's manufacturing industry. This is a great advantage. From the perspective of the application industry, 3C manufacturing (computer manufacturing, communication equipment manufacturing and other electronic equipment manufacturing) and automobile manufacturing are the main markets for domestically produced robots. The sales volume in the first half of this year was 30% and 12.6% respectively.

"The development of the robot industry is bound to open a new era of human economic and social development." Cai Ronghua believes that China's manufacturing industry will achieve a leap from large to strong, industrial robots are an important choice to promote the digital and intelligent transformation of manufacturing. At the same time, service robots can be widely used in the growing elderly services, medical rehabilitation, education and entertainment fields in China.

The domestic robot leading enterprises have the advantages of huge market and abundant capital, and can rapidly expand the scale and enhance the research and development capabilities through overseas mergers and acquisitions. Qu Daokui pointed out that mergers and acquisitions should not be a simple "physical reaction". Only by standing on its own and doing operational management can we achieve the effect of "1+1 is greater than 2".

In the future, China's robot industry should accelerate its layout in terms of technology and market. Ding Han said that with the breakthrough of artificial intelligence technology and new material technology in recent years, the future of robots will be even better.
