In 2012, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology promulgated the Catalogue of Industrial Transfers and planned the key industrial developments in various regions. All of them mentioned the importance of industrial upgrading. The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China even adopted industrial upgrading and structural adjustment as the focus of its national work in the future.

The change is not without reason. In 2012, the U.S. government implemented a series of plans to supervise the flow of manufacturing; India has left its developed information services industry as its core pillar industry. All these illustrate the important position of the manufacturing industry in the future economic development. China is currently a big manufacturing country, but the disappearance of demographic dividends, the reversal of high-end manufacturing, and the current status of low-end manufacturing transfer have forced China to carry out a series of reforms to avoid hollowing out manufacturing.

Industrial robots are the catalyst for the entire transformation process. With the continuous adjustment and upgrading of China's industrial structure and the further development of the manufacturing industry, China's industrial robot market will further expand. According to the prediction of the International Robot Federation, China will become the world's largest consumer of industrial robots by 2014, when China will have 32,000 robots.

At the same time, the level of industrial robots in China has continuously improved the development of robot control devices. China has developed dual-processor, multi-processor and hierarchical control devices, and many devices have been put into practical use. In terms of the development of types of industrial robots, China has been able to design and produce various types of robots such as spot welding, arc welding, painting, and assembly. Many robots have independent intellectual property rights. Among them, the domestic auto guided car market was the most successful, not only occupying a certain share of the domestic market, but also bulk export overseas.

China's manufacturing industry is faced with the challenge of shifting to the high end and undertaking international advanced manufacturing and participating in the international division of labor. Accelerating the research, development, and production of industrial robotics is the main way for China to seize this historical opportunity. Therefore, the development of China's industrial robot industry should be further implemented: First, industrial robot technology is the main means and approach for transforming China from a manufacturing country to a manufacturing power. The government must have more policies and economic support for domestic industrial robots. Refer to foreign advanced experience. , increase technology investment and transformation; Second, in the national science and technology development plan, we should continue to give strong support to the research, development and application of intelligent robots to form a new situation of synchronization and coordination of products and automated manufacturing equipment; Third, some domestic industries The quality of robots is quite similar to that of foreign countries. Enterprises should not import blindly when purchasing industrial robots. They should be evaluated comprehensively and based on domestic production.
