Robotics is a key area of national science and technology innovation. The development of robotics is an important foundation for China to implement the "Made in China 2025" strategy, promote industrial upgrading and transformation, and realize an intelligent society.
According to a survey report by Oxford University, 47 percent of jobs on the market in the United States will now be replaced by artificially intelligent robots, while the proportion is as high as 77 percent in China. In the next 20 years, who will bear the onslaught from the field of AI robots once and for all? Without a doubt, it's the students currently in school, which includes today's elementary, middle and high school students. When this group of students say goodbye to school and step into society, what will greet them is not necessarily the acceptance of society's goodwill, but most likely a variety of robots will mercilessly brush them off the stage of history.
Beginning in 2016 in the country's various universities are gradually opened the "robotics major".
The undergraduate robotics program was first opened in 2016 in colleges and universities, but robotics is a complex systems engineering, requiring talents in various fields, such as mechanics, electronics, communications, automation, etc., and will also involve materials, physics, chemistry and so on. Robotics-related professions are also relatively broad, such as mechanical design and automation, mechanical automation, electrical automation and so on.
Many colleges and universities have opened robotics direction of automation, or opened robotics-related majors and courses. There are also many colleges and universities have set up robotics laboratories or research centers, which are very successful in robotics research, but the training of talents is mainly for graduate students, and a few for undergraduates.
Here's a look at some of the famous colleges and universities that have opened robotics education programs
●In May 2014, the Joint Research Center for Intelligent Technology and Robotics was established at the School of Mechanical Engineering at Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (BUAA).
●April 2015, Guangxi Normal University of Science and Technology Intelligent Robotics Association was officially established.
●In June 2015, the Robotics Research Institute was established in the School of Mechanical Engineering of Donghua University.
●In September 2015, Northeastern University formed the first School of Robotics Science and Engineering in 985 colleges and universities in China.
● In March 2016, the Micro Pak Industrial Robotics Innovation Laboratory was established at Jiageng College of Xiamen University.
●In March 2016, the Robotics Research Center was established at Neijiang Normal College.
●In March 2016, the first National Engineering Laboratory of Robotics Industry was established in Hunan University, which is China's fourth national research base in the field of robotics, and also the first national engineering laboratory set up in response to the needs of the robotics industry.
●In April 2016, the Robotics Institute of Hunan University was established.
● In April 2016, the Robotics Engineering College of Anhui Sanlian College was established, which is the first secondary college in Anhui province to open a college specializing in training robotics professionals.
● In May 2016, the Robotics Institute of Beijing Union University was established.
●In September 2016, Fudan University's "Fudan-South Business Intelligent Robotics Joint Research Center" was established.
In particular, the Institute of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering of Tsinghua University Tsinghua University Robotics and Automation Technology and Equipment Research Laboratory is oriented to the important fields of aerospace, national defense science and technology, medical and life sciences, and social services, researching the scientific theories and technological methods of special operation and mobile robots, humanoid and bionic robots, service robots, and robotics automation, and developing a variety of special-purpose Robotics equipment and automation systems for various special purposes, to solve the national major scientific and technological and engineering application problems, to promote the development of the discipline, to build a world-class advanced robotics and automation technology and equipment research laboratory, and to cultivate leaders and high-end professional and technical talents in the field of robotics and automation technology and equipment.
Shanghai Jiao Tong University established the Institute of Robotics in 1985, which is one of the earliest professional institutions engaged in the research and development of robotics technology in China.
Tongji University has built a robotics and intelligent control system research laboratory.
Mention of robotics education will have to mention artificial intelligence technology, robotics research and development is ultimately the application of artificial intelligence technology.
After recent decades of development, intelligent technology and its applications have become an important growth point for innovation in the IT industry, and its wide range of applications is becoming increasingly obvious, such as, intelligent robots, intelligent machines, intelligent appliances, intelligent buildings, intelligent communities, intelligent logistics and so on, which has had a significant impact on all aspects of human life. This profession is known as the robot can be given to the "brain" of the profession.
