China's manufacturing industry is facing a lot of practical problems such as the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure, the continuous increase of labor cost, the shortage of labor force and the low-end labor-intensive manufacturing enterprises, which urgently demand a large number of industrial robots.
This year, major national science and technology projects will focus on supporting machine tool robots, will focus on promoting the ship, automotive engines, aerospace, aviation, civilian explosion six industry automation workshop applications.
In recent years, China's shipbuilding industry to speed up the establishment of a modern shipbuilding model and a new generation of digital technologies such as big data, cloud computing, mobile Internet, artificial intelligence technology continues to accelerate the pace of innovation, rising labor costs, China's rapid growth in demand for robots.
In the shipbuilding industry, welding, painting robots more and more applications. The welding robots of Shanghai Shipbuilding Technology Research Institute and the coating robots of Chongqing Changjiang Painting Equipment Co., Ltd. have been widely recognized by domestic shipping companies. "In 2013, China purchased 36,000 robots, surpassing Japan for the first time and becoming the largest robot market in the world, but domestic-only robots sold only 9,000 units, accounting for 24% of the total sales volume, mostly for low-end industrial robots. Robot industry research expert Luo Baihui that although China's industrial robot industry has a certain number of robot manufacturers and integrated companies in the RV reducer, servo electrical controller and other core components have made some breakthroughs in the welding, forging, spraying And other fields have also been a certain application, but the lack of original innovation, industrial upgrading is not complete, the ability to gather industry is still relatively weak, there are many disadvantages.
In recent years, global robot sales have maintained an annual growth rate of 14% due to advances in technology, improvement in flexibility, quality improvement, cost reduction and reliability improvement. In 2013, nearly 180,000 industrial units were sold worldwide Robotics, bringing the total number of industrial robots worldwide to 1.4 million units. In Luo Baihui's view, China maintained a high growth rate of 36%, much higher than Germany's 9%, South Korea's 8% and Japan's 6%. Among them, the automotive, electronic products, metallurgy, chemical plastics, rubber and other industries are the most widely used robots in China, but the use density of robots per 10,000 workers is still relatively low at present. The next few years, with the needs of the industry and labor costs continue to increase, China's robot market growth potential will be enormous.
Japan Robot Association Hideaki Ebara pointed out that in recent years, Japan's robot exports gradually declined, the domestic sales increased slightly. Among the exporting robotics, Asia has the largest proportion. Last year, Japan's robot exports to Asia accounted for 51.3% of the total export volume, more than double that of 2011. Sales of multi-joint robots are the best in terms of both exports and domestic sales. In 2013, Japan's multi-joint robot sales accounted for nearly 70% of the total sales volume.
ChulHuePark, President of Korea Robot Industry Promotion Association, said that for a long time the South Korean government has attached great importance to the development of the robot industry. In 2003, the South Korean government identified the robot industry as the engine for the next generation of development. In 2008, the Korean Parliament passed a series of bills on the development of robots and promoted the all-round development of the robotics industry in Korea.
Currently, South Korea has more than 30 robot research institutions, a total of more than 10,000 employees working in more than 400 robotics companies. The South Korean government invests heavily in robotic studies every year. From 2011 to 2013, the South Korean government has invested 72 million US dollars to fund multiple robot projects.

The future development of the robotics industry, McKinsey recently predicted. By 2025, robots will generate 1.7 trillion to 4.5 trillion U.S. dollars in manufacturing services. The robot industry has become a strategic emerging industry that is highly concerned by all countries in the world.
At present, many robot manufacturers and countries have stepped up layout to seize the highest point of technology and market. In 2009, the United States formulated a framework to revive the U.S. manufacturing industry by explicitly calling for the development of industrial robots and the revitalization of the U.S. manufacturing industry; and the development of a new generation of robots based on mobile Internet technology. Japan also formulated a long-term development strategy for robotics, taking the robot industry as one of the seven major industries. Europe presented a roadmap for the European robotics sector and proposed a spark plan to be completed by the European Commission and the European Robot Association.
On October 24 this year, Japan enacted a new robot development strategy, "Future Challenges," and proposed to develop more robots to deal with the shortage of skilled operators. At the same time, he hoped to broaden the use of the trend of globalization Robotics and mining opportunities. hulHuePark said South Korea has set a 2020 robot development plan that will focus on the development of post-disaster rescue robots, factory robots and home-use and medical robots. He hoped that the robot market will reach 25 billion U.S. dollars in output by 2020, becoming a major pillar industry in Korea.
China attaches great importance to the development of the robot industry. At the end of 2013, MIIT released the Guiding Opinions on the Healthy Development of the Robot Industry. In March this year, the Ministry of Industry and held a summit to promote the development of the robot industry. As our country moves from a big manufacturing country to a manufacturing powerhouse, the demand for robots also shows an explosive trend.
In order to achieve current and future goals, MIIT has identified several major tasks:
First, the R & D level and innovation capability of industrial robots will be significantly raised. The core technologies of robots will be developed according to the needs of key areas such as ships, electronics and national defense and military industries. The technologies of key components and parts will be overcome and productivity will be built so that innovative resources and elements can be effectively utilized The convergence and depth of cooperation, significantly narrowing the gap with developed countries.
The second is to foster industrial agglomeration, the establishment of industrial robots host enterprises, the system integration of traction, parts and components of the coordinated development of industrial layout, and vigorously develop key enterprises, the formation of a strong competitive industrial clusters. At the same time, in terms of industrial layout, we must guide the industrial development trends and scale in all places, make scientific plans, and promote the regional differentiation of industrial robots in an orderly manner in line with local conditions. In addition, the demonstration and application of autonomous branded robots should be realized in logistics, national defense and military industries, transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, promotion of energy saving and emission reduction, safe production and promotion of industrial upgrading in the industrial field.
To develop a number of key technical standards, focusing on the application of standards to fully meet the needs of the robot industry standard system; establish and improve the industrial robot design, development, testing, testing, verification, certification and accreditation and other public service platform to establish third-party testing and certification System; strengthen the international cooperation and exchange of industrial robot technology, break through the common technology of intelligent core robots and new technologies brought by cross disciplines; guide domestic enterprises and leading enterprises to carry out research and development cooperation and realize the robot technology going out in China.
The state will increase funding for the robot industry efforts, this year has arranged for the development and production of special machine tools for the development of robots. At the same time, it will increase the promotion of application and demonstration of robots in manufacturing industries such as ships, aircraft, civil explosives, sensors, meters and so on, and raise the level of intelligence in the manufacturing process.
