Five Misunderstandings of China's Robot Industry Development

We must profoundly recognize the immense changes that smart manufacturing (Industry 4.0) will bring to the robotics industry and actively seize the opportunities for the development of smart robots. The robot industry also needs continuous transformation and upgrading, and continuously deepens the integration and development of many advanced technologies such as big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence.

The sudden emergence of the robot market in China cannot cover the small and scattered status of our country's robotics field, nor does it mean that the rise of China's robotics industry. On the one hand, the development of our robotics industry is falling into a misunderstanding. On the other hand, we have not paid enough attention and layout to the future trend of the robotics industry. However, the traditional robot field is facing tremendous pressure for transformation and upgrading. The era of the robot industry 2.0 is approaching.

In the traditional robot industry, we cannot achieve beyond the short term. In the areas of core components such as servo motors, controllers and speed reducers, we are also not likely to realize autonomy soon. At the same time, in the era of robot industry 2.0, traditional core components will no longer be the core, and new core components will be born. In the era of robot industry 2.0, we should pay more attention to the deep application of information technology (software and hardware) in the field of robotics. A large number of top companies in the field of information technology, such as Google, Microblogging, Intel, and Cisco, have laid out the era of the Robotics Industry 2.0. This is a new signal.

Misunderstanding 1: Machine substitution is just a solution to the immediate problem

In order to promote the use of robots in traditional industries by means of granting different degrees of subsidies to companies that purchase robots, on the one hand, the traditional industries have been upgraded, and on the other hand, the popularity of a large number of robots has been promoted, and the use of robotics technology has been promoted. However, the drawbacks are also very obvious: First, due to the lack of competitiveness of domestic robot companies, the lack of sufficient competitiveness in the large-scale use of machine substitution plans has been marginalized, further squeezing the survival space of domestic robot companies; secondly, due to the machine The substitution plan was out of touch with the policy of supporting local robots. After the machines were replaced, the local robotics industry did not grow. Third, the machine substitution mode was simple and crude, with no strategic and overall perspective, and did not see the development direction of the robot industry. development trend.
