An emerging industry always has to go through the process of weathering the wind and rain before it can be tempered into steel.
The tide of science and technology keeps flowing. The commercial service robot has enjoyed the highlight moment of financing more than 20 billion yuan a year, and is also experiencing a controversial moment of shrinking battle lines and questioning market prospects.
However, apart from the complicated appearances, an obvious trend is that the technical competition period of commercial service robots has passed, and the industry development stage has reached the stage when core products are pursuing maturity and stability in the use scenarios.
Although the road is far, you will come soon.
During the alternation of light and dark in the industry, many successive explorers refused to make gimmicks, insisted on resonating with the needs of the times, studied technology and products, and further promoted the maturity of the business model and strategic focus while effectively improving production and living efficiency.
As one of the top industrial media in the technology industry, leifeng.com (official account: leifeng.com) launched the selection plan of "industrial technology · most commercial value list" in August this year.
According to the statistics of Leifeng, 671 companies were finally nominated and applied for the list of Leifeng's "Industrial Science and Technology · Most Commercial Value List", covering the 13 most concerned fields and multiple vertical dimensions previously set by Leifeng. After a month long centralized review, 61 most representative enterprises in investment value, product innovation and enterprise management were finally selected.
Among them, in the field of "commercial robots", four enterprises, Shenlan Technology, Gaoxian Robot, Youdi Technology and Haikang Robot, stood out and won the "Most Innovative Commercial Robot Enterprise Award", "Best Cleaning Robot Award", "Best Hotel Robot Award" and "Best Logistics Robot Award" respectively.
