I. China's robotics industry has great potential for development.
"China's robotics research began in the 1970s, after decades of unremitting efforts, at present China has basically formed a robotics industry chain covering the entire technology research and product development capabilities, has become the world's largest robot market." Industry sources told reporters that according to the robot's respective characteristics, key technologies, application areas on the different, the robot can be divided into industrial robots, service robots and special robots.
Industrial robots are mainly composed of motors, reducers, controllers and other core components. At present, multinational enterprises in the high-end field occupies an absolute advantage, the market share of more than 90%. However, at present China's robotics industry has a number of backbone enterprises, in various fields of low-end market has a certain degree of competitiveness, is advancing to the high-end market.
Service robots perform high-speed, high-precision complex tasks, working in uncertain and complex environments, and human **** at the place, its key technologies include vision, perception, navigation, human-machine safety, humanized interaction intelligent control. China's service robot market took shape around 2005, and the gap with foreign countries is relatively small.
Special robots are required to perform special tasks, and their research and development is closely integrated with the national development strategy, national defense, public **** security and other aspects of demand, such as space operations, deep sea, polar exploration, anti-terrorism rescue and so on. Special robots used in extreme environments, in addition to some of the robot's general technology, in order to adapt to high temperature, high pressure, radiation, large scale and other extreme working environment and specific task needs, will be in the special institutions, special protection, high reliability requirements, as well as remote control operation and other special matching technology breakthroughs, and in the task traction, the application of practice to form an engineered system products.
Two, China's robotics industry in these three aspects of development.
In terms of industrial robots, China has become the world's largest application market, and is expected to make breakthroughs in new application areas, but at present the density of industrial robots used in China is far below the level of developed countries. Due to the face of traditional manufacturing transformation and upgrading of industrial robot demand growth, China's industrial robot market has great potential. But foreign companies have been in the traditional automobile manufacturing, electronics field occupies a monopoly position, China in these areas to make a breakthrough is more difficult. At present, the application field of industrial robots has been gradually expanding, will be from the traditional automotive industry to 3C, machining, chemical building materials, food processing and other areas of penetration and promotion. China can take these areas as the development of industrial robots as an entry point.
In terms of service robots, according to the statistics of the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), the average annual growth rate of service robots is more than 20%, with huge space for future development and increasingly fierce competition. In the face of social transformation and development of service robot demand growth, China's demand for service robots will be a blowout development. Service robots generally need to be combined with a specific market in order to develop, local R & D organizations and enterprises are more likely to be combined with a specific environment and culture to develop and occupy a good market position, to maintain a certain competitive advantage. In addition, foreign service robotics enterprises are also new industries, most of which were established in a relatively short period of time, which makes China's service robotics industry is facing greater opportunities and development space. Service robots in the product function will be more practical, safer, human-computer interaction, intelligent learning and environment perception and adaptive capacity, low-cost and other directions.
Currently, China's service robots have technological advantages in the fields of human-robot interaction, robot motion control, cross-scale robot cooperative operation, and multi-robot system research, for example, Beijing Institute of Technology's bionic motion planning and control of humanoid robots, micronanoids cooperative operation and assembly, and dual-use multi-robot cooperative operation are at the forefront of the technology. In addition, in terms of service robot products, China has formed a series of products in the field of cleaning robots, medical rehabilitation robots, cooking robots, education and entertainment robots, self-balancing two-wheeled mobile robots.
In terms of special robots, China has its own characteristics and advantages. For example, around the national strategic needs, underwater robots, drones and other areas to focus on technical research and product development, from the development of progress and product application, in the world at the same level.
Third, industrial funds to boost the development of China's robotics industry.
It is understood that the emerging industries related to robotics, including drones, industrial robots, service robots, artificial intelligence robots, etc., China's robotics research and development compared with developed countries there is still a certain gap, there is more room for development. A number of authoritative organizations predict that by the end of the "13th Five-Year Plan", the annual output value of China's robotics industry cluster is expected to exceed 100 billion yuan.
Robotics is a set of machinery, artificial intelligence, control, electronics, information, materials, biology, medicine and other fields of advanced technology in one of the integrated platform, with a wide range of applications, radiation penetration, industrial technology leading role and other outstanding features, its research and development, manufacturing and application not only to promote the cross-fertilization of related disciplines, but also to promote the manufacturing of equipment, a new generation of information technology, new materials, biotechnology and other strategic emerging industries. Its R&D, manufacturing and application not only promote the cross-fertilization of related disciplines, but also promote the integrated development of equipment manufacturing, new-generation information technology, new materials, biotechnology and other strategic emerging industries, and it has a fundamental, extensive and crucial role in promoting the development of strategic emerging industries and upgrading of traditional industries, enhancing the comprehensive national strength and guaranteeing national security.
The relevant departments are considering supporting the development of the robotics industry by means of an industrial fund to give substantial support to the robotics industry in terms of expanding market consumption and increasing financial support. The establishment of industrial funds to support the development of robotics is an innovative way of investing financial resources, the implementation of a positive fiscal policy, a powerful initiative to improve the effectiveness of the use of funds. At the same time, by standardizing the operation of the fund, actively guide and drive the huge amount of social capital to the relevant areas of accumulation, in the past between scientific research and market-oriented to build an effective guide bridge, to create a sustained, vitality and market competitiveness of the development of hot spots and competitive boom will play a very important role in promoting the accelerated development of the robotics industry.
Industry fund is an effective means to standardize the way the government supports industrial development. The industry fund can improve and supplement the previous government simply take the scientific research program, subsidies, incentives, discounts, and other "one-time input, one-time use" of the input method. In terms of robot research and development, compared with the world's developed countries, China has not yet formed a pattern of "production, learning, research and demand" combination, resulting in a low rate of conversion of technological achievements, industrialization capacity is insufficient. Over the years, universities and institutes tend to focus on the frontiers of science and technology and high-tech, and practical applications, industrial demand still has a certain gap. On the enterprise side, due to the weak R & D strength, a large number of research results on the shelf, the results of the conversion rate and industrialization rate is not high, seriously restricting the development of China's robotics industry.
The central financial policy or the use of industrial funds to support the development of the robotics industry, to guide and promote the robotics industry to the market demand for traction, technology development-oriented, integration of the entire community, including universities, research institutes and enterprises, including the prospective layout and technology research and development, accelerate the transformation of technological achievements, so as to achieve the rapid and healthy development of China's robotics industry. In particular, the investment of the industry fund will vigorously support the development of the robotics industry, support the growth of enterprises, promote the robotics industry, "production, research and development" combination process, is conducive to promoting China's robotics R & D and industrialization process, so that robotics science and technology and its products to better promote the development of the service for the benefit of the people.
