Industrial robots have become the pacesetter in the field of robotics. The market value is expected to increase from 76.6 billion dollars in 2020 to 176.8 billion dollars in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of 18.2%. The main reason for this growth is that many manufacturers plan to use robots to overcome the emerging skill gap.
How industrial robots will shape future work
Industry 4.0 is one of the most discussed topics in the world. Throughout the world, innovation and change have become one of the main challenges that countries and companies must face. Efforts should be made to formulate new policies that can take into account big data, digitalization and industrial robots. Industrial robots will completely change every part of our lives, and will completely transform the mode of world operation into a new era of automation and digital interconnection. Everything is based on digital technology, and people and machines can work together safely.
Industrial robots are developing in the direction of intelligence, and intelligent industrial robots will become the technological commanding heights and economic growth points in the future. To keep up with the future industrial development, industrial robot technology is the representative of advanced manufacturing technology. The first task is to improve the intelligent technology of industrial robots. Intelligent technology can improve the working ability and use performance of robots. The development of intelligent technology will promote the progress of robot technology. In the future, the level of intelligent technology will mark the level of robots. Although there are still many problems to be solved, it will gradually improve and develop with the progress of science and technology. The future direction of intelligence will not change, and robot products will be expanded to more industries to form a complete system. In today's global artificial interest environment, industrial robots will develop rapidly and gradually become the main form of development of factory automation production lines.
The sudden era of robots
Industrial robots are attractive, mainly because of the fear of mass unemployment. No one can really understand the impact of robot automation on the market and how it will affect global employment. Will human beings be replaced in daily work? Will the spread of robots bring new jobs?
What are your expectations for automated robots
Some late trends in robotics show more ways of cooperation between humans and robot colleagues. Machines are no longer simply working for humans and doing low-level repetitive tasks. Man-machine mixed field is a more advanced scenario. More intelligent, efficient and flexible machines cooperate with people to complete tasks.
Challenges to the development of industrial robots in China under the new situation
From the perspective of industry development, the core components have not yet achieved independent production. Most of China's domestic robots are used in the fields of handling, loading and unloading, brazing, etc., and foreign enterprises account for a high proportion in high-end fields such as welding, automobile, electronic manufacturing, etc. This is mainly because China's servo motors, reducers, control systems and other core components rely on imports, and the cost of core components accounts for a high proportion of the overall cost. Only the reducer accounts for 35% of the cost of robots, which cannot compete with foreign enterprises in high-end fields.
Emerging enterprises continue to emerge, breaking the existing pattern of the industrial robot market
From the perspective of market share, the monopoly position of the "four families" is increasingly threatened. The 6-axis tandem industrial robot produced by the Danish UoRobot and the robot produced by Rethink Robotics are light and flexible, which are widely favored by the market. Robotic enterprises in various countries have been constantly rising, with the emergence of competitive robot enterprises such as Aston, Xinsong and Guangzhou CNC. The emerging robot companies have greatly reduced the cost of robot use, and the number and price of old robot enterprises have been greatly affected.
The lightness, flexibility and human-machine cooperation ability of industrial robots will be the focus of future research and development. With the continuous improvement of research and development level, the continuous innovation of process design, and the application of new materials, industrial robots are developing towards miniaturization, lightweight, and flexibility, and their refined operation ability is continuously enhanced. At the same time, with the improvement of the intelligent level of industrial robots, their functions have been gradually expanded from operational tasks such as handling, welding and assembly to processing tasks, and human-computer cooperation has become an important direction for the future research and development of industrial robots.
