According to the Economic Daily, in the first half of this year, China’s industrial robot production reached 222,000 sets, an increase of 5.4%, and the installed capacity of industrial robots accounted for more than 50% of the world’s total, ranking first in the world.
In addition, China’s service robots and special robots continued to develop rapidly, of which the output of service robots reached 3.53 million sets, an increase of 9.6%.
It is worth mentioning that in the field of industrial robots, indicators such as product speed, reliability and load capacity are still improving. According to reports, the average trouble-free operation time of some industrial robots in China has reached 80,000 hours, and the maximum load capacity has been increased from the original 500 kg to 700 kg. In addition, the innovative application of service and special robots has also achieved remarkable results, such as the single-hole endoscopic surgery robot has been approved for market, and the insight underwater robot has completed 5,100 meters of seabed testing. Devices such as flood robots and drones are also helping rescue teams carry out flood relief and other tasks.
IT Home has reported that 17 departments such as the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued the “Robot +” application Action Implementation Plan at the beginning of this year, proposing to promote various industries and localities in combination with the development stage of the industry and regional development characteristics to carry out “robot +” application innovation practice.
In addition, Beijing Yizhuang also issued the “Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone Robot Industry high-quality Development three-year action Plan (2023-2025)”, proposed to make the robot research and development investment compound annual growth rate of more than 50% by 2025, build 50 robot application scenario demonstration projects, The density of robots in industrial enterprises has reached 360 units/million people, and the output value has reached 10 billion yuan.
Xin Guobin, Vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, pointed out that “the innovation and development of the whole industrial chain of China’s robot has steadily advanced, the application of the scene has continued to expand, the comprehensive strength of the industry has continued to improve, the core competitiveness has gradually increased, and it has played an increasingly important role in technological innovation, high-end manufacturing, and integrated applications.”
