Promoting innovative development of the robotics industry

Experts at a seminar noted that China's industrial robot stock exceeds 1 million units, about one-third of the global total; in 2021, output reached 366,000 units and service robot output reached 9.21 million units. However, robot density in manufacturing is 246 units per 10,000 workers, only equivalent to 26% of South Korea's. The domestic production rate of harmonic reducers exceeds 65%, but robot operating systems and digital twin software are still in their early stages, and general-purpose chips and EDA software face supply-cutoff risks. In the future, core components must achieve independent controllability, and leading enterprises and "specialized, refined, distinctive and innovative" enterprises must be cultivated.
