Robot R&D innovation into short board

In 2014, which areas of China's manufacturing industry are the hottest? The answer is obvious: Robots! According to the China Measurement and Control Network, China has surpassed Japan, the United States, and Germany to become the world’s largest robot buyer last year in order to serve the domestic manufacturing industry. In 2015, it is expected that the demand for the Chinese robot market will reach 35,000 units, accounting for one-fifth of the global total and ranking first in the world. In the next decade, the Chinese robot market will continue to grow at a high rate of at least 30%. Around the robot manufacturing industry, in recent years, a total of more than 30 industrial parks have been established in China, and a series of supporting policies have been issued. On average, there are new robot manufacturing companies each week. In addition, more local governments have also focused their attention here, taking it as a new development point and actively participating in it. The entire domestic robot manufacturing industry has become very hot. So an online and offline exclamation: China's robot manufacturing era has officially opened.

Faced with such a state of redness in the country, we should see some of the hidden dangers. The most important issue is the technical issues. Looking at the domestic robot market, there is a huge technological gap between our companies and foreign companies, and competition is at a disadvantage. Although many domestic companies have clearly recognized this, objective factors such as a lack of R&D funds, a weak base research field, and a relatively low level of overall industry capabilities have been plaguing Chinese entrepreneurs.

As we all know, technical issues have never been a single issue, but a concrete manifestation of the integrated effects of the integration of industry, school and research. High-end technology comes from R&D. According to statistical results, there are dozens of universities and colleges in China that are engaged in the scientific research of industrial robots. However, due to the constraints of the current education and teaching system, each research is too independent and closed. Research and R&D are too scattered to form a synergy. Moreover, the phenomenon of repeated research on the same technology is common, resulting in a large amount of research and development expenses and time. In addition, some R&D personnel from institutions of higher learning are simply pursuing state funding and blindly pursuing research and development of some unpractical technologies, which has cost the nation's R&D funds, and the R&D products cannot be converted into productivity. A lot of resources. From the standpoint of independent research and development of enterprises, there are also common problems such as relatively large funding gaps and relatively long research and development cycles, which cannot be resolved by relying solely on the enterprise itself, but require strong support from the relevant national policies.

Weaknesses in innovation, core technologies and core key components are hampered by people, and the development of basic supporting capabilities is lagging behind. This is a major problem facing the Chinese robotics industry. China's basic parts manufacturing capability is poor. Although there are certain foundations for related parts and components, there is a big gap with foreign countries in terms of quality, product series, and batch supply. In the face of an increasingly open world robot market, the current state of domestic corporate technology determines that our products can only perform some basic tasks in related industries such as handling, painting, and assembly. In addition, the lower technological content also means that it will bring more fierce market competition. In today's vigorous promotion of the development of intelligent and industrial robots in the country, when domestic companies are optimistic about the blue ocean area of ​​robots, in the face of fierce competition in the market, limited to their own technical reasons, in addition to the price war as always, most of the domestic Robot manufacturers may not have a better strategy in a short period of time. This situation, in turn, will lead to further deterioration of the domestic market environment, gave birth to disorderly competition, and ultimately will affect the development of the entire robot manufacturing industry.

Facts have proved that in the high-tech industry, there are no short cuts, and once technological innovation lags behind, it must be controlled by others. In addition to catching up with others, there is no other way. Therefore, the era of robot manufacturing in China must be preceded by technology. This requires the relevant national departments to fully consider these issues and provide corresponding solutions when formulating industrial development plans. We also need our scientific research institutions to work together in a concerted effort to integrate and improve their capabilities. For enterprises that have already entered and are preparing to enter the field of robot manufacturing, we must remind everyone that the development of high-tech industries, technologies, and enterprises is vital. Instead of being swept up in the low-end market, it is better to sink into the market, subdivide the market, and devote more effort to the research and innovation of products and technologies. This is the healthy way for the development of modern enterprises.
