Industrial robots make up for shortcomings

The year 2020, when the output of industrial robots has achieved rapid development, is also the eighth year that China has maintained its position as the world's largest industrial robot application market. China is a major manufacturing country, and industrial robots are the key supporting equipment for advanced manufacturing. China naturally has a large demand for industrial robots. The National Development and Reform Commission documents pointed out that since 2013, China has become the world's largest application market for industrial robots.  　　 But the density of China's industrial robots needs to be improved. According to the data in the "2020 World Robot Report" released by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), the density of robots in China's manufacturing industry ranked 15th in the world in 2019, with 187 robots per 10,000 workers (the density is 187), far It is lower than Singapore, which ranks first, but has exceeded the world average: Singapore’s robot density is 918, and the world’s average density is 113. 　　Industrial robots have the reputation of "the jewel in the crown of the manufacturing industry". The world's first industrial robot was born in 1959, while China's research and development of robots was relatively late, starting in the 1970s. In 1982, Jiang Xinsong, then director of the Shenyang Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, led a scientific research team to develop China's first industrial robot. Jiang Xinsong was one of the first academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and was known as the "father of Chinese robots." Since its birth, industrial robots have gone through three generations of development. From the first generation of teaching and reappearance, they can only repeat the specified actions in the pre-installed program, to the second generation of offline computing programming, which significantly improves adaptability. By the third generation of intelligence, the perception ability, independent decision-making ability, and anti-interference ability will be enhanced, and it will gradually penetrate the manufacturing scene. "Don't underestimate parts companies such as gears, bearings, sensors, light sensors, pneumatics, etc." Dai Jiapeng said, the products of these parts companies can not only be provided to industrial robots, but also to other automation equipment, their development prosperity It should be ahead of the manufacturing of complete robots.
