Get ready! Enter the era of industrial robots

According to a report by Reportlinker in November 2020, industrial robots have become the leader in robotics, and their market value is expected to grow from $76.6 billion in 2020 to $176.8 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of 18.2%. Much of the growth is being driven by the fact that many manufacturers plan to adopt robots to overcome an emerging skills gap.

How will industrial robots shape the jobs of the future

Industry 4.0 is one of the most discussed topics in the world. Around the world, innovation, change has become one of the major challenges that countries and companies must face in their efforts to develop new policies that take into account big data, digitalization and industrial robots. Industrial robots will revolutionize every part of our lives and transform the way the world works into a new era of automation and digital connectivity, where everything is based on digital technology and people and machines can work safely together.

Industrial robot is developing towards intelligent direction, and intelligent industrial robot will become the technological commanding point and economic growth point in the future. In order 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 performance of robots. The development of intelligent technology will promote the progress of robot technology, the future level of intelligence will mark the level of robots, although there are still many problems to be solved, but with the progress of science and technology, it will gradually improve and develop. The future direction of intelligence will not change, and robot products will be extended to more industries, forming a complete system. Now the global artificial interest rising from time to time under the environment, industrial robot will develop rapidly, gradually become the main development form of factory automation production line.

The sudden age of robots

Industrial robots are attractive, largely because of the fear of mass unemployment. No one can really see through the market impact of robot automation and how it will affect global jobs. Will humans be replaced in everyday jobs? Will the proliferation of robots create entirely new jobs?

Robot sales have grown exponentially over the past few years, with Asia showing huge growth. Much of today's workflow in industries such as electronics or automobiles is based on automated systems, as can be seen in examples such as tesla's Detroit factory, where 160 robots work alongside 3,000 employees. Robots pose a threat to human employment.

What do you expect from automated robots

Some of the later trends of robotics technology show more ways of cooperation between human and robot colleagues. Machines are no longer just working for human and doing low-level repetitive tasks, but human-machine mixing is a more advanced scene, where more intelligent, efficient and flexible machines cooperate with human to complete tasks.

Challenges faced by the development of industrial robots in China under the new pattern

From the perspective of industry development, the core components have not yet achieved independent production. Most of China's domestic robot applications in areas such as handling, loading, brazing, in the field of welding, automobile, electronics manufacturing and other high-end foreign companies account for high proportion, this is mainly due to the servo motor, reducer, control system, such as the core parts imported, the proportion of the total cost of core parts cost too high, only 35% cost of the robot's speed reducer, Unable to compete with foreign companies in the high-end field.

New companies are emerging to disrupt the industrial robot market

From the perspective of market share, the monopoly position of the "four families" is increasingly threatened. The 6-axis series industrial robots produced by Danmyu Robot and the robots produced by Rethink Robotics are lightweight and flexible, which are widely favored by the market. Robot enterprises in various countries continue to rise, the emergence of Eston, Siasong, Guangzhou CNC and other robot enterprises with considerable competitiveness, the emerging robot companies make the use of robot cost significantly reduced, the number and price of established robot enterprises have been greatly affected.

The future research and development of industrial robots will focus on their lightweight, flexible and human-machine collaboration capabilities. With the continuous improvement of research and development level, continuous innovation of process design, and the application of new materials, industrial robots are developing in the direction of miniaturization, lightweight, flexible, and its fine operation ability is constantly enhanced. At the same time, with the improvement of the intelligence level of industrial robots, their functions gradually expand from handling, welding, assembly and other operational tasks to processing tasks, human-machine cooperation has become an important direction of future research and development of industrial robots.
