Two steps to promote the high-quality development of the robotics industry

"Two steps" to promote the high-quality development of the robotics industry

The research and development, manufacturing, and application of robots are important indicators to measure the level of technological innovation and high-end manufacturing in a country.

During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the scale of my country's robotics industry has grown rapidly. In 2020, its operating income will exceed 100 billion yuan, and the density of manufacturing robots will be nearly twice the global average. At present, the new generation of information technology, biotechnology, etc. are deeply integrated with robotics, and the robotics industry is ushering in a window period for upgrading and leaping development. It is crucial to accelerate breakthroughs in weak links and promote the industry to move toward the high-end.

Wang Weiming, Director of the Equipment Industry Department I of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that the plan is based on the high-quality development of the robotics industry, and from the perspectives of technology, scale, application, ecology, etc., the development goals of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and even longer are proposed in "two steps". .

"Achieving development goals cannot be accomplished overnight. We are'two-way effort' from both sides of supply and demand." Wang Weiming said that the plan is to consolidate the industrial foundation, strengthen the key core technology of robots, and supplement special materials, core components, and processing techniques. Other shortcomings; focus on enhancing product supply, facing the needs of key industries, gathering superior resources, promoting the development of high-end robot products, expanding robot product series and types; focusing on expanding market applications, promoting the development of typical robot application scenarios, and optimizing the industrial ecology.

In order to ensure the implementation of various tasks, four actions including "Robot Core Technology Research Action", "Robot Key Foundation Improvement Action", "Robot Innovation Product Development Action", and "'Robot +'Application Action" have been planned and deployed.

Wang Weiming said that the plan will focus on improving the innovation capabilities of the robotics industry, speed up the resolution of insufficient technology accumulation, weak industrial foundations, and lack of high-end supplies, and promote the high-quality development of the robotics industry.
