In the era of intelligence, the image of the robot no longer stays in the "steel warrior" in the science fiction film, or a robotic arm on the production line, but shows it in a more intimate appearance.

At the Cobos Experience Center in Wuhan International Plaza, more than 20 products such as window cleaning robots, vacuum cleaning robots, air purification robots, and security robots are dazzling.

Xie Zuoqun, agent of Cobos Hubei, introduced the market in Wuhan for half a year, and can sell more than 20 home service robots every month in Wuhan International Plaza. "Home service robots can free hands, save time, and have entertainment functions. Nowadays, I also use technology such as the Internet of Things to achieve remote control. Even if you are on a business trip, you can remotely control your home robots," he said.

"Robots need to break through the three major application technology barriers." The staff of the Cobos Experience Center said that the application environment of the family is more complicated, and how the robot adapts itself to the environment is the first major obstacle to be solved; the robot is mostly made of steel. Safety can also be one of the technical obstacles if it comes into contact with people. In addition, robots need to adapt to a variety of complex language instructions to improve the accuracy of human-computer interaction, such as the ability to understand dialects, family idioms and so on.

However, compared with countries such as Japan that have developed robots in the 1970s, Chinese local companies did not really start cutting into the industry until after 2000.

Despite this, China has demonstrated its decent strength in both technology research and development and marketing.

On March 6, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Home Service Robot Performance Test Evaluation Standards Working Group Meeting was held in Suzhou. Cobos hosted the conference as the convening unit of the International Standardization Working Group. This is the first time for Chinese companies in the field of international robotics. A conference that leads the development of international standards as a convener. The working group will complete the development and release of the international standards for home service robots in three years. The goal of 2013 is to complete the phased work of the committee documents of the international standards for home service robots through multiple rounds of consultations.

In China, in the field of household cleaning robots, two out of every three cleaning robots sold are from Cobos. At present, Cobos family service robots have been sold to 46 countries and regions such as the United States, Canada, France, Switzerland and Spain.

Just half a month after the Chinese national football team lost 1:5 to the Thai team, the performance of another "Chinese football team" was unexpected: in the medium-sized group competition of the 2013 Robot World Cup soccer tournament, by Beijing University of Information Science and Technology The "water team" formed by the students defeated the host and the defending champion Eindhoven University of Technology in 3-2 to win the championship.

What is even more gratifying is that such robots are gradually coming out of the laboratory and serving people in various public places, breaking the monopoly of foreign technology in the high-end humanoid robot industry. Some experts predict that within 10 to 15 years, robots with various skills will enter the Chinese citizens' homes and provide family services like babysitters.

In fact, the spring of robots in the field of industrial applications is quietly coming. Luo Baihui, an industry analyst at Jinmo Industrial Control Network, believes that the domestic industrial robot industry has entered a golden period. As a surprising “by-product” brought about by the rapid rise of labor costs and the upgrading of industrial structure, the replacement of artificial labor by robots has become a catalyst for the rapid development of the industry.

Since the beginning of this year, Zoomlion has begun to purchase welding robots to replace expensive welding workers. Huaxi Energy, a new production line, has begun to use industrial automation equipment. The domestic manufacturing industry is setting off a wave of “robot mobilization”.

At present, a simple handling robot costs three years as a worker and has a life expectancy of more than 10 years. Statistics show that the cost of domestic industrial robots is falling at a rate of 4% per year, and cost-oriented technology upgrades have huge market space in China.

The difficulty of recruiting workers that began in 2011 has continued to take place in the spring season of recruitment and has a tendency to spread from the coast to the west. Even Foxconn, the world's largest foundry company and a large number of recruiters from all over the world, has begun to try to get rid of its dependence on labor.

As early as 2011, Foxconn said that it will deploy 1 million robots on the assembly line in the next three years. This year, Foxconn’s recruitment has cooled significantly, and the robot team has quietly taken up posts.

Moreover, robots are more competitive in terms of productivity. In Shenzhen Leibo Technology, in the past, 110 people were required to work constantly. After the introduction of a large number of robots, only five workers are needed. Customized industrial robots have become the mainstay of its production line, and its employees have been reduced from more than 3,000 to more than 1,000 now.

It must be mentioned that the robot industry is booming, although it will replace the workers in the factory, but it will also increase the job opportunities of engineers, and will not cause a lot of unemployment.

More importantly, robots represent the highest level of human production tools. The popularity of robots in the future can be said to be another industrial revolution. The robot industry is also considered to be an emerging large-scale high-tech industry after automobiles and computers.

At present, 70% of global robot sales are concentrated in five countries, they are Japan, China, the United States, South Korea and Germany, and these five countries are generally more resilient in this world economic recession.

In the Chinese market, there are currently about 50,000 industrial robots in service. China's industrial robot density, that is, the number of robots per 10,000 production workers in the manufacturing industry is only 21, and there is still a big gap between the average of 55 globally.

Industrial robots are important automation equipments for modern manufacturing that integrate mechanical, electronic, control, computer, sensor, artificial intelligence and other multi-disciplinary advanced technologies. In addition to the current automotive manufacturing industry, it will be widely used in rough manufacturing, machining, welding, assembly, and inspection.

According to the statistics of the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), the world's most demanding industrial robots are in the automotive industry, accounting for 27.27%; the electronics manufacturing industry accounts for 22.82%, which is a major technological breakthrough in the consumer electronics field in recent years. Correlation; followed by rubber and plastics industry and metal products, accounting for 8.71% and 3.62% respectively.

Explosive growth

Manual replacement and industrial upgrading are considered to be the driving factors driving the rapid development of China's industrial robot market. At the same time, China's current robot density is relatively low, which also provides room for future market development.
