With the rapid change of demographic dividend factor and the accelerated release of automated production demand, China's robot industry is rapidly rising and erupting. The "machine substitution" in various fields is constantly advancing, and the trend of industry transformation and upgrading is getting stronger. However, under such an upsurge, the shortcomings of robot development in China are particularly obvious. The problem of missing key components caused by insufficient core technology and imperfect standard construction is seriously hindering the further growth of domestic robots. In the future, mastering the development technology of high-quality and high-precision core components and developing domestic core components with independent intellectual property rights will be the key to promoting the maturity of China's robot development

TheIn 2014, since the government put forward the action program of made in China 2025, China has established a three-step manufacturing power strategy. Through the integrated development of industrialization and informatization, it is planned to consolidate China's position as a manufacturing power by 2020, become a manufacturing power by 2025 and become a world manufacturing power by 2050. In this process, the development of automation and intelligence is the key, and robots are expected.

In recent years, the development of China's robot industry has been gradually guided and supported by the national fast lane strategy. Not only has industrial robots ranked among the world's largest demand and application market for six consecutive years, but applications in the industrial field are also accelerating their extension to the service field, which has ushered in the potential explosion and application landing of service robots based on business, family and individuals, as well as special robots serving military, rescue and other scenes.

At present, according to the upper line and lower effect, 20 provinces and cities in China have focused on the development of robot industry, and there are more than 50 relevant industrial parks and robot towns. Provinces and cities represented by Guangdong, Jiangsu and Shandong have shown strong momentum. At the same time, the number of robot enterprises in the industry is also rising rapidly. There are more than 3500 enterprises related to the industrial chain, and the increment of domestic robot enterprises is obvious.

During the two sessions this year, with the reference to "intelligence +" in the government work report, the combination of artificial intelligence and robots further deepened, which once again provided favorable conditions for the development and growth of domestic robots. Under this influence, robots in China will not only continue to play a positive role in factory automation, but also make great achievements in intelligent storage, intelligent logistics, intelligent transportation and consumption.
domestic robot industry is developing rapidly

It is seriously hindered by core components such as reducer

However, behind the boom in the development of the robot industry, the shortcomings of domestic robots can not be ignored. Although at present, a number of high-quality robot enterprises such as Xinsong and Everett have been born in China, gradually breaking the market "rule" of powerful countries such as Japan, Europe and the United States, except for these leading enterprises, most domestic enterprises still just mix in the downstream of the industrial chain and play the role of assembly and splicing.

The reason for this phenomenon is that domestic robots lack quality and intelligence, and enterprises have little influence on the market. The reason is that domestic enterprises have an obvious gap with foreign giants in robot core technology and key parts. Taking the reducer as an example, the reducer produced in China prefers Japanese reducer products because of its low quality and accuracy, short service life and insufficient operation stability. After the technology and market are monopolized by foreign countries, the rise of China's robot industry is particularly difficult.

A large part of the difficulties faced by the development of domestic reducer come from the lack of standards. Due to the imperfection of domestic reducer product standards and industry standards, it is difficult to verify the quality and reliability of domestic products, and enterprises in the industrial chain dare not use them. In this situation, if domestic robots want to make a breakthrough, they should abandon the wrong thinking of price war and low-end, and combine the efforts of the government, industry and enterprises to jointly promote the construction of standards for key parts of robots, so as to better standardize the development of domestic robot industry and achieve sustainable growth.

Standard promotes domestic reducer to break through

Fortunately, with the joint efforts of domestic leading enterprises and the government, China's reducer development has made a breakthrough in standardization construction.

In May 2014, the General Administration of quality supervision, inspection and Quarantine of the people's Republic of China and the National Standardization Management Committee issued and implemented the national standard of harmonic gear reducer for robots. It is understood that the standard basically covers the classification principles, technical requirements, performance indicators, test methods, inspection rules, packaging, transportation and storage of harmonic gear reducers for robots, and specifies the technical indicators and corresponding technical contents of harmonic gear reducers in detail. Meanwhile, at the 2018 China robot industry conference, the standard of precision cycloidal planetary gear reducer for robots drafted by Qinchuan group was also officially released and has been implemented since January 1, 2019.

Many people in the industry believe that 2019 has a good chance to become the first year of the outbreak of domestic RV reducers. On the one hand, the international forces represented by the "four families" are facing the problem of insufficient capacity supply. After years of investment and process accumulation, China has the strength of mass production. Driven by the local price advantage, the acceptance of domestic reducers is greatly improved.

On the other hand, the deep cultivation of international giants in the Chinese market has also led to the accelerated transfer of production capacity to China, which is bringing the replacement of technology, talents and supply chain to Chinese industry enterprises. In addition, the release of industry standards and the continuous optimization and improvement of the domestic market environment are bringing good development to the outbreak of domestic reducers.
