With the iterative progress of computer control, electronics, materials and other technologies, the performance of industrial robots has reached a higher level. But from the application point of view, industrial robots in the world have not fully penetrated all links in all industries, even in developed countries. Therefore, the localization of industrial robots has a long way to go.

As an integral part of the manufacturing industry, industrial robots are closely related to the economic laws of the development of the manufacturing industry. Therefore, research on industrial robots must first have a clear understanding of its development process and trends.

Industrial robots are important automation equipment for modern manufacturing industry, which integrates advanced technologies such as machinery, electronics, control, computers, sensors, and artificial intelligence. Since the United States developed the world's first industrial robot in 1962, robot technology and its products have developed rapidly, and have a history of nearly 50 years.

With the iterative progress of computer control, electronics, materials and other technologies, today industrial robots have become automation tools for flexible manufacturing systems, automated factories and computer integrated manufacturing systems, and the performance of industrial robots has also reached a high level.

At present, the development of industrial robots in a deeper and wider direction and the improvement of robot intelligence levels continue to expand the application scope of robots, from automobile manufacturing to other manufacturing industries such as electronics and electrical appliances, and then to such as mining robots, Various non-manufacturing industries such as construction robots and hydropower system maintenance and repair robots.

At present, the United States is active in robot technology innovation. Europe and Japan are the main suppliers of industrial robots, and have achieved full autonomy of core components such as sensors, controllers, and precision reducers. But from the application point of view, industrial robots in the world have not fully penetrated all links in all industries, even in developed countries.

At the same time, the continuous economic growth and the advancement of urbanization, especially the development of the domestic Internet and mobile Internet, have deeply activated the business ecology of terminal consumption. Consumers have requirements for the function, quality, differentiation, diversification and personalization of goods. Increasingly higher, this puts forward higher requirements on the intermediate product manufacturing links, and also puts forward higher requirements on industrial robots.

上升 Along with rising labor costs and the transformation and upgrading of the economic structure, the transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry is also steadily advancing, and "machine replacement" has become a new phenomenon in manufacturing in recent years. In terms of market size, China has now become the world's largest industrial robot market for many years, accounting for 30% of global industrial robot sales, and maintaining rapid growth.

However, the competitiveness of China's industrial robot manufacturing industry is still weak, especially at the disadvantage of core components. However, all this is quietly changing, and the domestic replacement of the Chinese robot industry in core parts and components is accelerating. For example, in terms of harmonic reducers, although the input torque, torsion height, transmission accuracy, and efficiency of the product are not far from those of Japanese companies, there are already alternative products in China, and the application on industrial robots has also begun.

毅 Li Yizhong, member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, deputy director of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, former director of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and president of the China Industrial Economic Association, said that China's industrial robot technology has gradually increased. Manufacturing companies have basically mastered the industrial robot's ontology design and manufacturing technology, control system software and hardware design technology, kinematics and trajectory planning technology, especially in the micro-control and microprocessor-based technologies.

On the whole, China has taken breakthroughs in key core technologies of robots as important strategies. Domestic manufacturers have overcome some of the problems in key core components such as reducers and servo motors, and have initially realized the localization of controllers and the localization of core components. The trend gradually emerged. In the future, China's industrial robots will continue to move towards the goal of becoming a powerful country.
