On May 29, under the guidance of Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenzhen Robotics Association and Shenzhen New generation information and communication Industry Cluster held the release ceremony of the 2019 Shenzhen Robot Industry Development White Paper (draft for comment) and Shenzhen Robot Annual Award Ceremony series.

BSFC-02C According to the “White Paper” data, the total industrial output value of Shenzhen’s robot industry in 2019 was 125.7 billion yuan, an increase of 6.73% compared with 117.8 billion yuan in 2018; The number of enterprises reached 757, an increase of more than 16% compared to 649 in 2018.

Different from the previous white paper classification, this White paper divides the robot industry into industrial robots and non-industrial robots, rather than industrial robots and service robots.

The reason is that the service robots in Shenzhen have been differentiated in multiple application scenarios, and non-industrial robots represented by household service robots, commercial service robots, educational robots, special robots, medical rehabilitation robots, etc., have gradually emerged, and simple “service robots” are no longer enough to summarize.

BSFC-02C Further comparison, the output value of industrial robots in Shenzhen in 2019 was 82.2 billion yuan, an increase of 2.33% compared with 2018, and although the growth rate of output value has slowed down, the growth is still stable; The total industrial output value of non-industrial robots was 43.5 billion yuan, an increase of 27.94% over 2018, and non-industrial robots continued to grow at a high speed, and their output value has exceeded one-third of the total industrial output value of the robot industry in Shenzhen.

Bi Yalei, secretary general of Shenzhen Robotics Association, said: “As an important part of high-end equipment for strategic emerging industries in Shenzhen, the development of the robot industry has shown continuous vitality in recent years. Despite the influence of objective factors, the overall last year still showed a clear feature of stable and high-quality development.”

In addition, the White Paper mentions that the development of Shenzhen’s robot industry is facing four trends:

First, the trade environment brings more import substitution opportunities for local brands, and the core links of the industrial chain are highly autonomous;

Second, the industrial chain supports robots to enter the market segment faster;

BSFC-02C Third, cluster cultivation drives robots as a whole to take the lead in entering the 5G era;

The fourth is the “new infrastructure” to accelerate the empowerment of artificial intelligence and other related technologies, among which the key construction of 5G, industrial Internet, artificial intelligence and other fields will bring technical support to the development of the robot industry.

At the event site, the results of the “2019 Shenzhen Robot Annual Selection” co-sponsored by Shenzhen Robot Association and “Robot and Intelligent System” magazine were announced.

BSFC-02C It is reported that the annual selection set up Shenzhen service robot technology Innovation Award, Shenzhen Industrial robot Technology Innovation Award, Shenzhen Ten key parts enterprise award and other eight awards, a total of more than 30 enterprises won.

Among them, the award-winning enterprises of Shenzhen Service Robot Technology Innovation Award include Youbixuan Technology and other enterprises; Shenzhen Industrial Robot Technology Innovation Award includes Longchi Xinchuang Technology and so on; Shenzhen’s top ten key parts enterprises include Obi Zhongguang, etc., and Shenzhen’s top ten robot enterprises include Yue Jiang Technology and Yi Feng Robots.

In addition, Liu Peichao, CEO of Yue Jiang Technology, won the Robot Man of the Year award.

The reporter saw on the scene, the event location in the Civic center Industrial Exhibition Hall, is also holding Shenzhen robot exhibition, it is reported that the exhibition is a permanent exhibition area, open to the public, the use of physical and graphic form, a full display of Shenzhen robot industry data, industry status, leading enterprises in the field of segmentation, representative enterprises new products, new technologies, new projects.

In addition, the event site also held the launch ceremony of Shenzhen Robot Association industrial talent training base settled in Bao ‘an.
