The foundation of industrial robot innovation continues to consolidate multiple challenges and cannot be underestimated

German Chancellor Angela Merkel made a "thrilling" attempt at the Hannover Messe this year: boldly extending the index finger into the mechanical clamp of the ABB Group's dual-arm robot YuMi. Just when the surrounding people squeezed a sweat, the YuMi equipped with the camera and sensor automatically stopped. This industrial robot that can handle precision parts on mobile phones and computers, and even needle-punching, is from ABB China Research Institute.

Giant ABB has set up the Group's global robotics center in China. It is two points: First, China is currently the world's largest robot market, and second, China has a large number of talents in related fields. In the face of the opportunity of China's manufacturing 2025, in the face of the strong competition of foreign companies with "fast-eyed", how can China accelerate the "industry robot" innovation question?

The foundation of innovation continues to be solid

In recent years, many manufacturing enterprises in China have launched the “machine substitution” project, actively deploying the robot industry, and adapting to the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry.

Recently, China's robot industry has added a familiar new army: Midea Group Co., Ltd. and Japanese industrial robot manufacturing giant Yaskawa Electric announced the establishment of two robot joint ventures, of which the industrial robot joint venture plans to mass produce one of the six in a year. Axis robot products.

Not only the United States, in recent years, many manufacturing companies in China have launched the "machine substitution" project, and began to actively deploy the robot industry. More companies are opening their doors to robots. It is not simply a passive choice to cope with the challenges of falling labor supply. It is an initiative to adapt to the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry.

Zhao Jie, head of the Expert Team of Intelligent Robots of the National "863" Program and Director of the Robot Research Institute of Harbin Institute of Technology, said that China is a recognized manufacturing country in the world, labor costs are rising, demographic dividends are disappearing, and traditional industrial transformation and upgrading has become As a matter of urgency, the development of intelligent manufacturing technology centered on industrial robots will become the only way. The low robot density and high labor cost, and the structural shortage of labor force make the Chinese industrial robot market have great potential.

According to the statistics of the International Federation of Robotics, the global sales of industrial robots in 2014 was about 225,000 units, an increase of 27%, and annual sales were about 9.5 billion US dollars, of which sales in Asia accounted for two-thirds. In 2014, sales of industrial robots in the Chinese market increased by 54% year-on-year to around 56,000 units. However, as an important criterion for measuring the level of automation in a country, the number of industrial robots owned by tens of thousands of industrial workers in China is still far lower than that of developed countries. Based on the total number of manufacturing industry workers in China's 100 million manufacturing industry, it is estimated that by 2020, the current installed capacity of robots in the developed countries of the world will reach a medium level. China needs to increase the installed capacity of robots by 1.3 million units. By 2030, it will reach the advanced density of robots in developed countries. At the level, China needs to increase the installed capacity of robots by 2.5 million units.

The research and manufacture of industrial robots in China began in the 1970s. Under the support of the “10th Five-Year Plan” and “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” and the 863 Plan, China's industrial robots have made great progress in technical research and design. Many domestic research institutions and universities have carried out a lot of work, and have achieved rich results in institutions, drive and control, laying a technical foundation for the innovation and development of the domestic industrial robot industry.

While accelerating technological breakthroughs, China is also actively supporting the construction of robotic industrialization bases. Shenyang Xinsong, Guangzhou CNC, Harbin Bosch and other enterprises have continuously developed and expanded in the production and system integration of industrial robots, and developed industrial robots such as arc welding, spot welding, palletizing, assembly, handling, injection molding, stamping and painting. China has also initially formed an industrial chain of core components such as industrial robot servo motors, reducers, servo drives and controllers.

In the “Digital Unmanned Factory” of Shenyang Xinsong Robot Automation Co., Ltd., as long as the engineer inputs the instructions, the robot will systematically complete the production tasks of transportation, transmission, assembly and inspection. This is the first digital production line in China that uses "robots" to produce "robots" with an annual production capacity of 5,000 units.

Multiple challenges cannot be underestimated

Foreign robot giants seized the commanding heights of China's industrial development, domestic repeated construction, overcapacity, and low conversion rate of innovation results all constrained the development of China's industrial robots' own brands.

In recent years, the industrial robot industry has been accelerating in the world.

The US Advanced Manufacturing Partner Program clearly proposes to establish the leading position of the United States in the new generation of robots, focusing on the development of a new generation of robots that work closely with people, and enhance the ability of industrial workers, health care practitioners, surgeons and astronauts to complete difficult tasks. .

Japan's "New Economic Growth Strategy" in 2014, the robot industry as an important pillar of its economic growth, promotes the use of robots by expanding the field of robot applications, setting up a "robot revolution meeting", and introducing policies to relax restrictions. Japan has set a goal of increasing the use of manufacturing robots by two times by 2020 and the market size to reach 2.85 trillion yen.

The EU launched the world's largest civil robot research and development program - "SPARC", plans to invest 2.8 billion euros by 2020, creating 240,000 jobs, the goal is to increase the proportion of the European robot industry to the global total output value from 35% in 2014 to 42% in 2020. The program will involve more than 200 companies and 12,000 R&D personnel, including the application of robots in various fields.

While actively deploying the country, these countries and regions with developed industrial robots have also regarded the Chinese market as a "battlefield to win the future." Foreign robot leading enterprises are no longer satisfied with China as a product sales and technical service market, but start to establish production bases in China, relying on existing technological advantages to seize the commanding heights of industrial development. This undoubtedly further reduces the market space for the development of China's industrial robots' own brands.

At present, more than 70% of the new industrial robots in China rely on imports, and the high-end robot application field in the domestic market is almost monopolized by foreign brand robots. According to Han Jianda, a member of the Intelligent Experts Group of the National "863" Program and a researcher at the Shenyang Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, high-precision reducers, servo motors, and servo drives are the key components of robots, accounting for more than half of the total cost of robots. These components are currently mainly imported from Japan, the United States and Europe. Not only are the prices more than twice the price of the country of origin in China, but some high-performance grade products are even banned from China. If the problem of high-performance devices relying on imports cannot be solved as early as possible, China's robot industry will be subject to long-term constraints.

The challenge is not just from foreign giants. According to incomplete statistics, there are currently more than 400 robot-related enterprises in China, and there are more than 30 industrial parks. A large number of enterprises have swarmed up and repeated support and construction in various regions. There has been homogenization, and there is a risk of overcapacity and vicious competition. Cultivate an internationally competitive industrial robot backbone enterprise.

At the same time, China's industrial robots have serious faults between basic original results and R&D products, resulting in a large number of research results, and the results conversion rate and industrialization rate are not high, which seriously restricts the development of China's robotics and automation equipment industry. In addition, the innovative multi-level talent system required by the robot industry is not perfect, which also affects the innovation of industrial robots in China.

Integrate development and broaden new roads

Faced with the systematic gap in comprehensive strength, Chinese robotics companies should pay more attention to resources and technology integration and take a new path.

In Qu Daokui, president of Shenyang Xinsong Robot Automation Co., Ltd., the challenge facing the development of China's robot industry is no longer a simple technical challenge, but a systematic gap in comprehensive strength. The sudden emergence of robotic market demand in China has reduced the growth time and opportunities for Chinese companies, and it is necessary for Chinese local companies to directly face the competition of international giants almost overnight. Therefore, Chinese robotics companies cannot rely solely on their own rolling development, but must pay more attention to resources and technology integration and take a new path.

Integrating and developing, and doing a good job of industrial robots, this must-have question requires continuous efforts from top-level design, technology research and development, industrial development, and policy coordination. The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Science and Technology analyzed that the development of robots in China should be top-level design and systematic planning. Starting from market-oriented system integration and industrial development, we will promote the integration of robots with cross-domain technologies such as big data and mobile communications, and strive to match the innovation chain, industry chain and capital chain. At the same time, it is necessary to combine the characteristics of China's industrial development and special needs, select foreign companies involved in the industry, which is urgently needed in China's economic and social development, and vigorously promote the domestic robot system.

In promoting key technology breakthroughs and product development, we should make full use of the opportunity of combining information technology with the robot industry to strengthen the capabilities of new robot integration technology. The development of key components such as drives, motors, servo systems, and reducers should continue to support the research, make full use of international resources, and achieve the upgrade of key components by means of mergers and acquisitions to support the development of robots. At the same time, it should increase the support for research on core key technologies such as intelligent control, navigation and positioning, mobile communication, big data, and human-computer interaction.

Integrating resources also needs to continue to strengthen regional characteristics and foster industrial clusters. China should pay more attention to the strength of small and medium-sized enterprises, mobilize the enthusiasm and initiative of the industry and the locality, combine the industrial characteristics of the industry and the region, rationally arrange the major application demonstration and industrialization projects of robots, and strengthen the cooperation of industrial chain and regional division of labor. In the high-tech zones of various regions, we will cultivate robot-innovative leading enterprises with regional characteristics, and form a number of unique industrial clusters to focus on market applications.

In addition, we should actively promote the convergence of science and technology policies with economic and financial policies. In terms of science and technology policy, we will further increase investment in scientific research and innovate business service models. While paying attention to the development of robotic products, we will pay more attention to the close integration of robots with modern information, communication, machinery and control technologies. Strengthen the connection with economic policies, study related preferential policies, reduce the cost of innovation for enterprises, encourage the use of domestic robots and provide appropriate subsidies. At the same time, it guides government funds and private capital to the robot industry.

In June of this year, Dongguan issued the "Dongguan Industrial Robot Intelligent Equipment Industry Development Plan (2015-2020)", and proposed that by 2020, the city's industrial robot intelligent equipment industry's output value will reach 70 billion yuan, making it unique in the Pearl River Delta and even the whole country. The characteristic industrial robot intelligent equipment industry cluster area and intelligent manufacturing demonstration city. The active exploration in Dongguan once again highlights the stamina of the integration and development of industrial robots in China. The golden age of industrial robot innovation in China has arrived.
