Why is robot a high-frequency word?

During the National People's Congress this year, "robot" became a high-frequency word in the proposal. Because China has become the world's largest robot market. The "14th Five-Year" Robot Industry Development Plan issued at the end of 2021 mentioned that by 2025, my country will become the source of global robot technology innovation, high-end manufacturing agglomeration and a new highland for integrated applications. In the context of the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, my country's robot industry is ushering in a period of new opportunities for development.

Therefore, at the National Two Sessions in Beijing, representatives from all over the country and from all walks of life also offered advice and suggestions for the robotics industry.

Yang Guoqiang, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference: It is recommended to vigorously support the application of construction robots

Due to the characteristics of high labor intensity, poor working environment and high safety risks, the traditional construction industry continues to decline in its attractiveness to young people, and the phenomenon of “difficulty in recruiting” and “labor shortage” in the construction industry continues to intensify. At the same time, the national "dual carbon" goal also poses new challenges to the high-quality development of the construction industry.

Therefore, Yang Guoqiang, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Country Garden Group, submitted a proposal on "Accelerating the Application of Intelligent Construction Product Technology, Assisting the "Double Carbon" Goal, and Promoting the High-quality Development of the Construction Industry" during the two sessions.

Yang Guoqiang mentioned that with the integration of artificial intelligence, robotics, 5G, new materials and other technologies with the construction industry, the era of intelligent construction is coming. The collaborative operation of products and technologies such as construction robots, building information modeling (BIM), and new prefabricated buildings in engineering projects has been realized in China, and applied to survey, planning and design, production, construction, supervision and acceptance, operation and maintenance and management, etc. The construction process can greatly improve the safety, quality and efficiency of construction projects, and can also greatly reduce construction waste and waste on the construction site, reduce carbon emissions, and help the country achieve the "double carbon" goal.

He put forward three suggestions in the proposal: vigorously support the promotion and application of construction robots and intelligent construction equipment; accelerate the establishment and improvement of the intelligent construction innovation supervision mechanism and evaluation system; and accelerate the establishment of intelligent construction-related standard systems.

In fact, Bozhilin Robot, a subsidiary of Country Garden Group, has already begun commercial application in the construction field. As of the end of February 2022, 21 construction robots have been put into commercial application, covering more than 25 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions). 350 projects; accumulatively delivered over 750 units, accumulatively applied construction area of over 7 million square meters.

Liu Yonghao, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference: Support the innovative application of agricultural robots

Liu Yonghao, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of New Hope Group, brought 8 proposals this year, of which the most eye-catching may be the "Proposal on Supporting the Innovative Application of Agricultural Robots and Accelerating the Deep Integration of Intelligent Manufacturing and Agriculture".

In this proposal, Liu Yonghao said that the application of agricultural robots in my country is still in its infancy due to comprehensive factors such as market investment, machinery costs, and insufficient promotion. Many leading enterprises in the agriculture and animal husbandry industry have made great progress in the integration of robots and agriculture in animal husbandry and food processing scenarios. They have now promoted automatic feeding, intelligent slaughtering, and intelligent epidemic prevention that deeply integrate intelligent manufacturing with agriculture and animal husbandry. Exploration of application scenarios.

"The current development status of agricultural robots is still far from the goal of agricultural and rural modernization. There are still incomplete agricultural machinery chains, uneven levels of intelligent technology, insufficient aggregation of agricultural machinery intelligent development, and imperfect smart agricultural scientific research systems that need to be solved urgently. The pain point and blocking point." To this end, Liu Yonghao put forward five suggestions to accelerate the market application of agricultural robots.

Liu Qingfeng, deputy to the National People's Congress: Increase research and development of companion robots to cope with aging

During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the population of the elderly over 60 years old in my country will exceed 300 million, and it will move from mild aging to moderate aging. In the face of the increasingly serious aging problem, Liu Qingfeng, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of iFLYTEK, believes that artificial intelligence technology is playing an increasingly significant role in primary medical care and public health services. "It is necessary to strengthen the research and development of robots, support key technologies such as multi-modal perception, emotional computing, active dialogue, virtual images and the research and development of companion robot products, so that robots can enter every family to solve the elderly care, emotional companionship, health management, etc. question."

Liu Qingfeng suggested in the proposal "Several Suggestions on Using Artificial Intelligence Technology to Accelerate the Advancement of Aging Care" that the Ministry of Science and Technology should take the lead in setting up a special companion robot to support related key technologies such as multimodal perception, emotional computing, active dialogue, and virtual images. And accompany the development of robot products.

The robotics industry is promising

It is not difficult to see from the proposals made by the representatives of the two sessions this year that robot applications are everywhere in construction, agriculture and the elderly care industry.

According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2021, the output of industrial robots in my country will reach 366,000 sets, a year-on-year increase of 44.9%; the output of service robots will reach 921,000 sets, a year-on-year increase of 48.9%.

The booming robot industry is changing the production mode of the manufacturing industry and has become one of the new drivers of my country's economic growth.
