Deeply tap into the development potential of industrial robots

Industrial robots have always been an important tool for the intelligent transformation of the economy and society, contributing new increments in technological progress, structural optimization, energy conservation and emission reduction.

Industrial robots have always been an important tool for the intelligent transformation of the economy and society, contributing new increments in technological progress, structural optimization, energy conservation and emission reduction. At the recently concluded Hangzhou Asian Games, the robotic dog, which can transport discus and fancy sports, attracted the attention of netizens and became a window to observe the development of China's industrial robot industry. Currently, under the promotion of multiple factors such as favorable policies, the development momentum of industrial robots in China is good. In 2022, the installed capacity of industrial robots in China accounted for over 50% of the global total, firmly ranking first in the world. The overall strength of industrial robots continues to enhance, showing development characteristics such as human-machine integration, virtual reality integration, and intelligent driving.

At the same time, it should also be noted that there are still some shortcomings in the development of industrial robots in China, and some key core technologies are still subject to human constraints and the phenomenon of "bottleneck" still exists to a certain extent. In high-end markets such as medical service robots, the competitiveness of domestic industrial robots is relatively weak. The industrial chain, which is large but not strong, broad but not deep, is at the threshold of leaping towards the mid to high end. In the global industrial robot industry landscape, only by leaping to the mid to high end of the industry chain can we obtain higher value returns, create more high-quality job opportunities, and cultivate more new economic growth points. According to the "14th Five Year Plan for the Development of the Robot Industry" jointly issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments, China's industrial robot industry will continue to maintain a high-speed development trend in the coming years. By 2025, the average annual growth rate of operating revenue in the robot industry will exceed 20%. In January of this year, 17 departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Implementation Plan for Robot+" Application Action, proposing to double the density of manufacturing robots by 2025 compared to 2020. The development of the industrial robot industry is a systematic engineering that takes into account overall planning, promotion, and long-term achievements. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on both concrete and micro application scenario traction, and to seek high-level technological foundation support.

On the one hand, we will deepen the "robot+" application action, accelerate the popularization and promotion of industrial robot application scenarios, and form a higher level dynamic balance of demand pulling supply and supply creating demand. Promoting green and low-carbon economy is a key link in achieving high-quality development, and it will also create richer and broader application scenarios for the high-quality development of industrial robots in China. At present, industrial robots in China are widely used in traditional industries such as ceramics, hardware, bathroom, furniture, and are rapidly expanding in emerging industries such as new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and solar energy. We must adhere to unblocking points, expanding domestic demand, filling shortcomings, and leveraging advantages, promote the accelerated integration of industrial robot application scenarios into various industries, and continue to expand the breadth and depth of applications. Accelerate the formation of a "robot+" application scenario that combines points and surfaces and intersects vertically and horizontally, and cultivate an industrial robot ecosystem that stimulates domestic demand potential and optimizes supply structure. Driven by innovation, we will lead and create new demand for industrial robots, and drive and promote high-quality supply of industrial robots through domestic demand for scale expansion and structural upgrading.

On the other hand, closely grasping the "nose of independent innovation", facing the application needs of the industry, driving a batch of high-end complete machines, key components, and process software innovation breakthroughs, cultivating the "source of innovation" for industrial robots. Industrial robots are the lifeblood of high-end manufacturing, playing an important supporting role in digitalization, intelligence, and low-carbon manufacturing. From the perspective of development trends, modern manufacturing industry presents characteristics such as flexibility, integration, and intelligence, posing higher requirements for innovative integration and technological density of industrial robots. Compared with some internationally renowned brands that control key core technologies, China's industrial robots' "shortcomings" are also "springboards", blank spots, and explosive points. We need to strengthen the dominant position of industrial robot enterprises in technological innovation, create a good innovation ecosystem, promote the deep integration of innovation chains, industrial chains, capital chains, and talent chains into the frontline of production, and accelerate the implementation and transformation of relevant scientific and technological achievements.

At the same time, it is necessary to create a new paradigm of deep integration of industry, academia, and research led by relevant enterprises, establish sufficient depth in scientific research and talent strategy, achieve independent and controllable control of key core technologies of industrial robots, and hold the initiative in innovation and development in one's own hands. In terms of core components, it is necessary to accurately benchmark the international advanced level and increase research and development efforts on reducers, controllers, and servo systems.
