Looking at Changes in Extraordinary Ten Years | Robot Industry Strives for High end

Robots are known as the "pearl at the top of the manufacturing crown" and an important symbol of a country's scientific and technological innovation and high-end manufacturing level.   Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the scale, technology and products of China's robot industry have achieved breakthroughs in succession, and the application level has improved significantly. According to the 14th Five Year Plan for Robot Industry Development, by the end of last year, China had become the world's largest consumer of industrial robots for eight consecutive years. In 2021, the density of robots in China's manufacturing industry will reach 322 sets/10000 people, 13 times higher than that in 2012.
From medical field to industrial manufacturing
China has become the largest application market of robots in the world
On the morning of August 23, Ms. Liu, who worked in Shanghai Jinqiao Huahong Innovation Park, went to the nearby nucleic acid sampling booth for nucleic acid testing. Unlike the general nucleic acid sampling booth, the sampling booth Ms. Liu went to did not have "big white", but was replaced by a robot. "This robot is really high-tech, and its technique is no less than that of professional medical personnel." Ms. Liu said that it was very hot to queue up to do nucleic acid in Shanghai's hot days, and it was even harder for "big white" people to work in protective clothing. Now there are robot nucleic acid sampling booths in many places in Shanghai, which is really convenient.
Robot doctors, robot couriers, robot waiters... In recent years, more and more robots have appeared in all walks of life in China. Compared with the robots that people used to think were "clumsy and can only do simple work", robots are becoming more flexible and their landing application scenarios are increasingly rich. Data shows that China has become the largest application market of robots in the world.
Recently, a child from Hefei City, Anhui Province performed a "radical operation" on Hirschsprung's disease in the First Affiliated Hospital of China University of Science and Technology. The "chief surgeon" of the operation was a robot named "Daqi". Is it reliable for robots to perform surgery? The answer is not only reliable, but also first-class technology. According to the doctor in charge of the patient, because the child is young and light, the operation requires free pelvic cavity without ganglia, which is difficult, so the operation must be very delicate. In this regard, the stability and accuracy of the robot are very high. The operation lasted more than 3 hours, and the intraoperative bleeding was only 20 ml.
Medical treatment is a major field of robot application in China. The surgical robot, known as "the new way of the next generation of surgery", has been applied in many hospitals in China. Compared with the previous World Robotics Congress, this year's World Robotics Congress Expo has also set up a special exhibition area of "Robot+Medical", with many exhibitors. Experts in the industry believe that the application of medical robots in interventional medicine can not only alleviate the problem of long learning curve of medical staff, but also achieve more accurate and standardized operation, with a large clinical application space.
Industry is also the key field of robot application. As a master of digital and intelligent technology, intelligent manufacturing led by industrial robots has become the main path for the transformation and upgrading of domestic manufacturing industry.
In the crane manufacturing plant of XCMG Construction Machinery Co., Ltd., the intelligent production line runs at a high speed. The entire production process requires only one worker to press the mouse, and the rest is completed by industrial robots. As a world famous crane manufacturing enterprise, XCMG has built the world's first intelligent welding production line for crane turntable, realizing machine replacement. The one-time welding qualification rate has reached 100%, and the production efficiency has been improved by more than 100%. In XCMG's heavy coating intelligent production line, the product's outrigger is sprayed by two 7-axis spraying robots, and the paint utilization rate is increased from 51% to more than 65%, which also eliminates the occupational health hazards caused by this post to workers.
The application of emerging technologies such as industrial robots and artificial intelligence makes production more flexible and efficient. Shunde District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province is the largest production base of small household appliances such as electric fans and microwave ovens in China. Here, an intelligent microwave oven production line can be used to offline a microwave oven every 8 seconds. There are more than 20 screws on a microwave oven box, and only the last one needs to be manually tightened. The original production line can only produce one kind of microwave oven. After automation and intelligent transformation, it can produce multiple specifications of microwave oven products at one time.
In recent years, China's manufacturing industry has accelerated the automation and intelligent upgrading, and machine replacement and human-computer cooperation have become a trend and consensus. According to the World Robot 2021 Industrial Robot Report released by the International Federation of Robots, the number of industrial robots operating in Chinese factories will reach a record 943000 in 2021, an increase of 21% year on year, and continue to grow at a high speed. At present, industrial robots have covered 60 major industries and 168 medium industries in China's national economy. The growth of demand for industrial robots has also led to the rapid development of industrial robot manufacturing. According to the data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in 2021, China's industrial robot output will reach 366000 sets, a 10 fold increase over 2015, and it will remain the largest industrial robot market in the world.
