| Industrial robots are a general term for robots used in industrial production. Industrial robots are automated machines that operate automatically through programming or teaching, have multiple joints or degrees of freedom, and have certain perceptual functions such as vision, force perception, displacement detection, etc., in order to achieve autonomous judgment and decision-making of the environment and work objects. They can replace manual labor to complete various heavy, tedious, or harmful physical labor in the environment. |
1. Overview of the Industrial Robot Industry
——Definition
Industrial robots are a general term for robots used in industrial production. Industrial robots are automated machines that operate automatically through programming or teaching, have multiple joints or degrees of freedom, and have certain perceptual functions such as vision, force perception, displacement detection, etc., in order to achieve autonomous judgment and decision-making of the environment and work objects. They can replace manual labor to complete various heavy, tedious, or harmful physical labor in the environment.
The subdivision of industrial robots is usually classified according to coordinate form, driving method, and motion control method. From the perspective of the operating mechanism of industrial robots and the requirements for the quality of the functions they achieve, the joint coordinate system has high accuracy and is also the most widely used type. Electric drive is the mainstream of industrial robot drive today, and continuous trajectory control is the basic "quality" of high-end industrial robots.

2) Analysis of the Industrial Robot Industry Chain: The industry chain involves numerous links
The industrial robot industry is divided into upstream, midstream, downstream, and industry applications according to the industrial chain. Upstream production of core components such as reducers, servo systems, and control systems; The midstream is for the production of industrial robot bodies; Downstream is the integration of industrial robot systems based on specific requirements of the terminal industry, mainly used to achieve processes or functions such as welding, assembly, inspection, handling, spraying, etc; The main industry applications are the application of industrial robots in terminal industries such as automotive and electronics, which have high demands for automation and intelligence.

In the upstream field, reducers, servo motors, and controllers are the three major components of industrial robots. Large foreign industrial robot enterprises often build their core competitiveness by mastering key component technologies. In recent years, with the improvement of domestic technology, independent brands have gradually entered related fields. In the field of reducer manufacturing, representative enterprises include Green Harmonic, Shanghai Electromechanical, Zhongdalide, etc; In the field of controller manufacturing, representative enterprises include Green Harmonic, Shanghai Electromechanical, and Zhongdalide; In the field of system integration, representative enterprises include Estun, Huichuan Technology, Leisai Intelligence, and Kelier.
In the field of midstream industrial robot body manufacturing, from the domestic market perspective, China's industrial robot body manufacturing market is still dominated by foreign enterprises, represented by Fanuc abb、 Kuka, Yaskawa, etc. Representatives of independent brand industrial robot body manufacturing include Xinsong Robot, Estun, Huazhong CNC, Xinshida, Yawei Co., Ltd.
In the field of downstream industrial robot system integration, representative enterprises include Topstar, Xinsong Robotics, Kelai Electromechanical, Boshi Co., Ltd., Huachangda, Estun, etc.

2. The development process of China's industrial robot industry: it is entering the mature stage from the development stage
——From theoretical research to preliminary industrialization
The research on industrial robots in China began in the 1970s and can be roughly divided into four stages: theoretical research stage, prototype development stage, demonstration application stage, and preliminary industrialization stage.

2) Chinese industrial robots are entering a mature stage from the development stage
The development of robot technology and applications can be divided into three stages and four levels. The key factors for the development of the three stages are demographic dividend factors, engineer dividend advantages, and artificial intelligence technology advantages.
China has quickly passed the automation stage with its strong population advantage. Currently, there are many leading industrial robot companies in China with mature machine intelligence businesses, such as Kuangshi Technology and Hikvision, which have outstanding technologies in the field of visual applications. With the arrival of an aging society, the demographic dividend is gradually dissipating, labor costs are increasing, and it is driving companies to implement robot replacement measures. Currently, China, along with leading countries such as Japan and South Korea, is in the transition stage from machine intelligence to artificial intelligence; China is also at the forefront of the world in terms of accumulating artificial intelligence technology.
According to the theory of industry lifecycle, the development cycle of an industry mainly includes four stages: infancy, growth, maturity, and decline. The characteristics of the industry in the mature stage are: the growth rate of the industry slows down to a more moderate level, and the number of newly added enterprises will decrease; The industry entry threshold has been raised; And excluding the influence of technological innovation factors, the development pace of the industry keeps pace with the gross domestic product.
Based on the current development situation of China's industrial robot industry, it can be judged that it conforms to most of the characteristics of mature industries, so it can be concluded that the industry is in a transitional stage from growth to maturity.

3. Policy background of China's industrial robot industry: policy support encourages active development of the industry
Industrial robots have a wide range of applications, but there is still room for breakthroughs in core technologies. Most of the government's support policies in the industrial robot industry are aimed at encouraging breakthroughs in core technologies, promoting independent innovation, and accelerating the process of localization. In addition, different regions have formulated different development goals based on their local characteristics.
