Innovations make country major player in robot sector

China Daily  

A picture taken on Feb 28, 2023 shows the animal-shaped robot powered by ModelArts of Huawei Cloud at the Mobile World Congress. As the 10th session of WRC kicks off on Wednesday, the domestic production of robots for industrial use had risen to 430,000 in 2023, while 7.8 million others were service robots, making China a major player in the global robot sector. Modern robots have four key parts, namely a controller to send commands, servo drive to generate appropriate electric current to drive the motor, servo motor to move the joints, and a reducer to decrease speed so as to enhance precision. For all these four key parts, China relied heavily on imports in 2014; now, 10 years later, according to the WRC, comprehensive production lines for the four key components have been formed, with their technological levels significantly enhanced to be competitive in the international market. Today, armed with the latest AI technology, they have turned into six-leg guide dogs helping the visually impaired, as displayed by Shanghai Jiao Tong University in July; or evolved into robotic nurses guiding senior citizens, as shown at the 2024 China Humanoid Robot Developers Conference in Shanghai in June.
