2023-11-20
On November 15th, at the Shanghai International Power Equipment and Technology Exhibition, staff demonstrated a quadruped robot equipped with a thermal imaging dual spectral pan tilt for stairs inspection. Xinhua News Agency reporter Wang Xiang reported that in response to the current situation of labor shortage and high labor costs, as well as the preference of diners for "contactless services," the South Korean catering industry has introduced a large number of service robots to replace manual food delivery. According to data from the Korea Robotics Industry Association, in 2022, Korean restaurants operated approximately 5000 service robots, of which over 70% were produced by Chinese manufacturers. According to Japan's Nikkei Asia, Chinese service robot manufacturers are receiving orders from around the world. Pudu Technology Company, founded in 2016, achieved revenue of $100 million in 2022. Qinglang Intelligent Technology Company, headquartered in Shanghai, is also preparing to accelerate its overseas expansion. As of the end of 2022, Qinglang has sold approximately 35000 robot products, of which nearly 10000 are sold across borders. In recent years, China's robot industry has developed rapidly, and the scale of the service-oriented robot industry has maintained a rapid growth rate. According to statistics, the operating revenue of China's robotics industry exceeded 170 billion yuan in 2022, firmly ranking as the world's largest market. According to data released by the International Federation of Robotics, in the first half of 2023, China's robotics industry maintained stable growth, with a production of 3.53 million service-oriented robots, a year-on-year increase of 9.6%. The rapid development of the robot industry cannot do without the strong support of the Chinese government. China has introduced multiple policies to support the development of the robot industry. The "14th Five Year Plan" for the Development of the Robot Industry proposes to strive to become a global hub for robot technology innovation, a hub for high-end manufacturing, and a new highland for integrated applications by 2025. At the beginning of this year, 17 departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Education, and others jointly issued the "Implementation Plan for the" Robot+"Application Action, further implementing the policy of" by 2025, the density of manufacturing robots will double compared to 2020, and the depth and breadth of application in the service-oriented robot and special robot industries will significantly increase ". Service robots are an important category of robot products that can replace humans in completing some of their daily tasks, improve consumers' quality of life, and reduce manual labor input. According to specific needs, service-oriented robots can achieve autonomous operation with minimal human intervention or can be remotely operated by human operators. Some service-oriented robots can interact directly or indirectly with humans, typically equipped with sensors, cameras, and other components to perceive and respond to the surrounding environment, and interact with human users. More advanced service robots are equipped with operable robotic arms that can perform tasks such as picking up items, opening doors, and requiring physical contact with surrounding objects. Service robots can provide services in various fields and scenarios, including but not limited to the catering industry, healthcare, hotel industry, building services, logistics industry, etc. They can perform various tasks such as welcoming guests, delivering meals, delivering food, cleaning, and medical assistance. Currently, service robots developed and produced in China mainly include various types such as food delivery, cleaning, and medical treatment. Overall presentation of the domestic market
