At the news conference on the theme of "vigorously developing high-end equipment manufacturing" held by the Ministry of industry and information technology a few days ago, Guo Shougang, deputy director of the first Department of equipment industry of the Ministry of industry and information technology, said that the scale of China's robot industry has grown rapidly, and the operating income of the whole robot industry will exceed 130 billion yuan in 2021. Among them, the output of industrial robots reached 366000 units, an increase of 10 times over 2015, and it is the world's largest industrial robot market. The vigorous development of the robot industry has greatly changed people's production and lifestyle, and injected strong momentum into economic and social development. In recent years, with the acceleration of the integration of artificial intelligence, 5g, new materials and other technologies and robot technology, robot people have been playing their roles in more and more fields, and constantly nurturing new industries, new models and new formats. At the China robot industry development conference held a few days ago, Wang Tianmiao, President of Zhongguancun Zhiyou Research Institute and honorary director of Beihang Robot Research Institute, said that the shortage of labor and the increase of costs have driven the rapid growth of robots, which is a long-term rigid demand of the market. In this growth, robots show a trend of wider application and deeper application. Robot application scenarios are increasingly rich. According to Wang Weiming, director of the first Department of equipment industry of the Ministry of industry and information technology, the application of industrial robots in China has covered 60 major industries and 168 medium industries of the national economy. In 2021, the output of service robots in China reached 9.214 million, an increase of 48.9% year-on-year. While the special robot market is growing steadily, space robots, deep-sea robots, surgical robots and other high complexity products have achieved important breakthroughs. "In the past, there were more robots in the mobile phone or automobile industry. Now robots are applied in new energy, service industry and agriculture." Wang Tianmiao said that in the past, robots were used by large enterprises, but now small and medium-sized enterprises and even enterprises with only a few dozen people are also using them. Statistics show that in 2021, the density of robots in China's manufacturing industry will reach more than 300 per 10000 people, an increase of about 13 times over 2012. Service robots are widely used in catering, education, medical care, logistics and other fields. For example, at the just concluded 2022 China International Trade in services Fair, meituan demonstrated automatic distribution vehicles and distribution drones to achieve automatic distribution through intelligent scheduling and further improve efficiency. Tianyan data shows that up to now, there are more than 439000 service robot related enterprises in China, including more than 79000 newly registered enterprises from January to August this year. Special robots have become a reality. The large and small robotic arms of the space station can cooperate to carry out extravehicular operation tasks in space. Self powered soft robots have realized 10000 meter deep diving and driving. There are also robots that can intelligently and efficiently complete tasks in high-risk industrial scenarios such as petrochemicals and ships. The acceleration of domestic substitution benefits from policy guidance and market demand while the scale of China's robot market is developing at a high speed
