As a carrier of emerging technologies and an important enabling equipment for industrial transformation and upgrading, robots are an important symbol of national scientific and technological strength and high-end manufacturing industry, and also a key support for the modernization of the industrial system.

369-HI-0-M-F-E-0 The “China Industrial Development Report (2023)” (hereinafter referred to as the “Report”) said that the Party Central Committee and The State Council have always attached great importance to the development of the robot industry, incorporated robots into the key areas of national science and technology innovation, and introduced a series of important plans to digitize and intelligent transformation. Promote the development and demonstration application of robots in various fields such as industry, logistics and warehousing, rescue and rescue, and point out the direction for robot R&D innovation and industrial application.

Flexible, collaborative, intelligent trends

The “14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Robot Industry” issued in December 2021 clearly puts forward the roadmap for the development of China’s robot industry: By 2025, China will become the source of global robot technology innovation, high-end manufacturing agglomeration and integrated application of new heights. The overall index of the whole machine has reached the international advanced level, and the performance and reliability of key components have reached the 369-HI-0-M-F-E-0 international level of similar products. The average annual growth rate of the operating income of the robot industry is more than 20%. Form a group of leading enterprises with international competitiveness and a large number of specialized new “small giant” enterprises with strong innovation ability and good growth, and build 3 to 5 industrial clusters with international influence. The density of robots in manufacturing has doubled. By 2035, the comprehensive strength of China’s robot industry will reach the international leading level. At the same time, the “14th Five-Year Plan” intelligent manufacturing Development Plan proposed that: by 2025, 70% of manufacturing enterprises above designated size will mostly realize digital networking, and key enterprises in key industries will initially apply intelligence; By 2035, manufacturing enterprises above designated size will be fully digitalized and networked, and more than 500 smart manufacturing demonstration factories will be built to lead the development of the industry.

According to the report, under the guidance of national strategies and policies, the scale of China’s robot industry has continued to grow and become an important force to promote the development of the global robot industry. The output of industrial, service and special robots has increased rapidly; The brand strength has been continuously enhanced, the basic capacity of the industry has been continuously improved, and the autonomous and controllable ability of key technologies and core components has been significantly enhanced. The accelerated formation of industrial clusters has become an important starting point to promote the robot industry to the middle and high end; Investment and financing in the robot industry have been further increased, and funding sources have become more diversified.

In addition, driven by the integration and innovation of new generation information technology, new energy technology, new material technology, biotechnology, sensor technology and robot technology, the development of China’s robot industry shows a trend of flexibility, collaboration and intelligence. The breakthrough of digital intelligence technology such as global perception, intelligent decision making and accurate execution expands the capability boundary of robots, enriches the application scenarios of robots, and continuously expands the application fields of robots from industrial production to warehousing and logistics, transportation, cultural tourism, medical care, family services and 369-HI-0-M-F-E-0 other fields. It has not only become an important starting point for improving people’s production and life styles and coping with the aging population, but also injected strong momentum into the high-quality development of China’s economy.

According to the report, although China’s robot industry continues to improve in terms of market size, independent innovation and industrial basic capabilities, on the whole, it cannot meet the needs of high-quality development of the robot industry. Some core links, key technologies, industrial software and other upstream links of the industrial chain still have shortcomings; The industrial scale and competitiveness of self-owned brand enterprises need to be further improved; The construction of standards, testing and certification systems lags behind industrial development, and the scale and structure of talents cannot meet the requirements of high-quality development of the industry.
