Application scenario expansion

PCI-7334 Professor Feng Xiao, dean of the Sino-German School of Engineering at Tongji University, believes that intelligent manufacturing is a strategic choice for future development, which can bring an annual growth rate of 3% to 4% for China’s economy in the medium and long term.

PCI-7334 At the same time, the application scenarios of robots are also gradually landing and expanding. At present, China’s medical industry is facing challenges such as aging population and shortage of high-level medical personnel. At the Expo, related medical and health robots have also attracted much attention. In the laboratory research and logistics links of hospitals, “robot nurses” can help medical staff reduce repetitive and time-consuming work such as drug delivery and testing. It is estimated that automation can improve the speed of completing repetitive tasks by about 50% compared with human labor.

PCI-7334 At this Expo, Aerotel and Xiuyu jointly released massage therapy robot products. The robot can complete all physiotherapy work, beyond the level of most technicians physiotherapy, and can be applied to medical treatment, rehabilitation, nursing, physiotherapy and other scenarios. Academician Ni Guangnan believes that innovation has always been the first driving force for the development of the robot industry, and under the trend of industrial intelligence and collaboration, the robot industry needs to improve its extensive connectivity with other industries, and expand the new increments, new scenarios and new Spaces of the industry.

It is reported that with the increasingly rich ecology of the robot industry, in addition to the industrial field, the company is also expanding to the health and service industries. In the automotive industry, which has attracted much attention, in 2019, the growth rate of the domestic robot industry also declined due to the slowdown in the industry. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, there were 186,900 sets of domestic industrial robots in 2019, down 6.1% year-on-year.

PCI-7334 Dr. Zhang Sheng, a researcher at the Ningbo Research Institute of Zhejiang University, believed in an interview with a reporter from the 21st Century Business Herald that in the field of medical health, the most important thing for robot applications is high accuracy in position and action repetition rate, and controllable strength. At the same time, the treatment duration of the robot is also more lasting. However, there are also many industry pain points. “For example, the cost is too high, the action is single, it is impossible to adapt to changes, and even there is a certain risk in safety.” In terms of touch, the robot can not achieve the true feeling of touching the skin, and it is too blunt. These need to be overcome one by one to become a true humanoid therapy robot.”

In his view, in the past few years, most domestic enterprises have used robots as low-end mechanical equipment, indicating that the robot industry is still in its initial stage, and the overall intelligent application software and stronger alternatives need to be solved.
