Tireless, excluding environment, operating fine - industrial robots are now broad application prospects and lower costs, gain more and more enterprises of all ages. Domestic industrial robot market has reached 80 billion yuan last year, an increase of 30%. Some experts predict that the next few years, as China´s manufacturing industry especially electronic equipment, precision instruments, automobiles and auto parts manufacturing industry, assembly of industrial robots will grow rapidly. Coupled with industrial robot applications are gradually moving towards electronic information industry as well as construction, mining and other areas of extension, the next three to five years the average annual growth rate of industrial robots is expected to reach about 25%.
     一、two trends: to help people substitute
      Recently, the famous foundry Foxconn raised will enable one million in three years industrial robot. Currently, as a typical labor-intensive enterprises, Foxconn number of workers employed in the mainland more than 100 million people. Foxconn intends to invest in Shanxi Jincheng Industrial Park, robots, began to produce their own industrial robots.
      Foxconn use of industrial robots is still relatively low-end mechanical arm, each cost around 10 million. This mechanical arm to 24 hours of continuous work. In accordance with the ordinary workers Foxconn annual salary of about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan terms, a cost equivalent manipulator general workers hired three-year wage costs. Some analysts believe that, if the robot successful implementation of the scheme, enabling breakthroughs in the demand for labor Foxconn ceiling, to achieve globalization strategy. Foxconn has clearly invested $ 12 billion in Brazil plant, both in Vietnam and India began layout.
     In accordance with the idea of ​​Foxconn, with robots and put into use, manpower will be transferred to higher value-added jobs. According to reports, Foxconn young people will be re-learning robot manipulation software, applications and maintenance, into robot application engineers and software engineers, by operating the robot to complete the production.
      Labor prices pushed up production costs, is considered to be the production of industrial robots quickly into one of the reasons. According to the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology Assistant Dean, Secretary-General of Shenzhen Bi ALAM Robot Association, at present, the industrial robots have surgery in the medical, automotive, manufacturing, and other precision instruments widely used in many fields.
      Bi Alec said industrial robot applications were two trends that help people and substitute the former to help people to do the "simple mechanical boring thing", the latter do "people do not matter."
      In assembly processing smart phones, car, for example, in the polishing, grinding, welding and many other links, intelligent robots relative to ordinary workers, with higher production efficiency, reduce inventory time and space, upgrading and other advantages, more suitable for flammable, explosive, or other dangerous overheating in the work environment. Bi Alec believes that the future in the blank manufacturing, machining, welding, heat treatment, surface coating, loading and unloading, assembly, testing and storage and stacking operations, industrial robots will serve as a widely used standard equipment, will become the industrial automation technology and application of force.
      二、 work together to promote: Heavy autonomy heavy applications
      In Shenzhen, the industrial robot applications has penetrated many fields, demand showed a gradual upward trend. BYD Back in 2009 it cost several million yuan to introduce 13 sets ABB paint robots, automatic spray paint to complete the body work. This will not only make the finishing quality achieve the best results, paint consumption can also be reduced by about 30%. Intelligent robots to reduce labor costs while also reducing errors caused by manual operation, paint gloss can be increased by 10%, orange stripes, particles and foreign matter such as paint defects are effectively improved error control paint film thickness of 2 microns or less.
      Shenzhen R & D and manufacturing robots layout earlier. Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology Institute settled in Shenzhen as the first national research institutions, with strong R & D capabilities. Robot is the most important directions of research and industry, in the hospital consists of 13 research centers, human-computer interaction, intelligent bionic, integrated electronics, intelligent sensing, cognitive technologies and other five major centers and laboratories Robots are manufactured to provide intellectual support, to build the robotics industry with independent intellectual property rights.
      March 2009, China´s first robot industry association established in Shenzhen Silver Star Intelligent, Shenzhen University, engaged in more than 50 robots and related industries enterprises to become a member, Chinese Academy of Sciences as the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology Association unit, bringing together More than 70 experts and scholars at home and abroad robotics. Among them, the China Machinery and automation experts, Chinese Academy of Engineering Xu Yangsheng is internationally renowned robotics expert. Currently, only Shenzhen Federation of Robotics robots have 63 professional enterprise, 2011 with an annual output value of 16 billion yuan, an average annual speed of these companies 50-60%.
     In April this year, Shenzhen 36 enterprises, universities, research institutions and investment co-founded robotics research funding alliances, organizational forms of generic technology research, resource sharing, technology transfer and facilitate the implementation of personnel exchanges. At present, Shenzhen and robotics-related information, home appliances, communications, equipment manufacturing and other products totaled more than 3000 billion yuan.
      Bi Alec told reporters in robotic applications, simulation of human expression is most like robots in Japan, the executive power of the strongest robot in the United States, and in the multi-sensor fusion and intelligent applications in China in the forefront. He said that this is closely related to China´s rich manufacturing. Manufacturing industries in China gathered in favor of robot applications into the plant, but also facilitate the manufacturer according to local conditions according to production needs upgrading robots.
      Bi Alec said robot application prospect is very broad, not only will generally enter the pipeline manufacturing, in the production aspects of life will have a robot figure, demand will increase. An "everyone has a robot, the robot factory plant has" era or is no longer distant.
