It's started: Robot Uprising Begins as China Turns to Machines to Fill in Gaps in the Workforce

[onebyone]

The automation of production is accelerating around the world: 74 robot units per 10,000 employees is the new average of global robot density in the manufacturing industries (2015: 66 units). By regions, the average robot density in Europe is 99 units, in the Americas 84 and in Asia 63 units.

Between 2010 and 2016, the average annual growth rate of robot density in Asia was 9 percent, in the Americas 7 percent and in Europe 5 percent. Asia is doubling its robot density every 7 years and Americas every 10 years.

Current trends indicate that world leading South Korea could have 1 industrial robot for every 4 manufacturing worker around 2030-2035. China will likely only have 1 industrial robot for every 25-30 manufacturing workers in 2030 but this would mean 3.5 to 4 million industrial robots in China. If the growth rate in robots accelerates to about double the 2010-2016 growth rate then the robot population could double every 5 years. With a faster growth rate in robots, China would then have 1 industrial robot for every 15-16 manufacturing workers in 2030 but this would mean 7 to 8 million industrial robots in China.

By 2020 the worldwide stock of operational industrial robots will increase from about 1,828,000 units at the end of 2016 to 3,053,000 units. This represents an average annual growth rate of 14 percent between 2018 and 2020. In Australasia the operational stock of robots is estimated to increase by 16 percent in 2017, by 9 percent in the Americas and by 7 percent in Europe. Since 2016, the largest number of industrial robots in operation has been in China. In 2020, this will amount to about 950,300 units, considerably more than in Europe (611,700 units). The Japanese robot stock will slightly increase in the period between 2018 and 2020. About 1.9 million robots will be in operation across Asia in 2020. This is almost equal to the global stock of robots in 2016.

The development of robot density in China was the most dynamic in the world. Due to the significant growth of robot installations, particularly between 2013 and 2016, the density rate rose from 25 units in 2013 to 68 units in 2016. Today, China’s robot density ranks 23rd worldwide. And the government intends to forge ahead and make it into the world’s top 10 most intensively automated nations by 2020. By then, its robot density is targeted to rise to 150 units. Furthermore, the aim is to sell a total of 100,000 domestically produced industrial robots by 2020 (2017: 27,000 units from Chinese robot suppliers, 60,000 from foreign robot suppliers).

China has set goals to be able to make 150,000 industrial robots in 2020; 260,000 in 2025; and 400,000 by 2030. If achieved, the plan should help generate $88 billion over the next decade. China’s stated goal in both their 5-year plan and Made in China 2025 program is to overtake Germany, Japan, and the United States in terms of manufacturing sophistication by 2049.

In 2014, China had 120 million manufacturing workers—more than 10 times the employment in U.S. manufacturing. China had 42% of the world’s manufacturing workers.

If China maintained that level of manufacturing workers, then China would need about 8 million industrial robots to match the current robot density of South Korea. South Korea currently has 631 robots per 10,000 manufacturing workers.

For China to reach
* a robot density of 150 per 10,000 workers they would need 1.8 million industrial robots.
* a robot density of 200 per 10,000 workers they would need 2.4 million industrial robots.
* a robot density of 300 per 10,000 workers they would need 3.6 million industrial robots
* a robot density of 400 per 10,000 workers they would need 4.8 million industrial robots
* a robot density of 500 per 10,000 workers they would need 6.0 million industrial robots
* a robot density of 600 per 10,000 workers they would need 7.2 million industrial robots

Worldwide, the Republic of Korea has by far the highest robot density in the manufacturing industry – a position the country has held since 2010. The country’s robot density exceeds the global average by a good eight-fold (631 units). This high growth rate is the result of continued installations of a high volume of robots particularly in the electrical/electronics industry and in the automotive industry. About 41,400 units were sold in South Korea in 2016. This is a rise of 8 percent compared to 2015. South Korea’s robot density will likely double by 2025 and double again by 2033.

Singapore follows in second place with a rate of 488 robots per 10,000 employees in 2016. About 90 percent of robots are installed in the electronics industry in Singapore.

Japan ranked fourth in the world: In 2016, 303 robots were installed per 10,000 employees in the manufacturing industry – following Germany ranking 3rd (309 units). Japan is the world´s predominant industrial robot manufacturer: The production capacity of Japanese suppliers reached 153,000 units in 2016 – the highest level ever recorded. Today, Japan´s manufacturers deliver 52 percent of the global supply.

Innovative robot learns how to walk
2018-03-28 10:16 China Daily Editor: Li Yan

Forget about the robot soldiers marching through the human world in sci-fi movies. Two-legged robots in reality are mostly able to take only short steps and they're prone to falls.

But a robotic biped developed at Guangdong University of Technology is able to take a big step while maintaining balance thanks to ducted fans fixed to its feet.

Jet-HR1, the robot, resembles the lower part of a human body. It's 65 centimeters tall and weighs 6.5 kilograms. It can cross a gap of 45 cm, or 97 percent of its leg length, making a move like doing the splits.

This results in higher efficiency than the 20 percent of leg length commonly seen in other humanoid robots, said Huang Zhifeng, vice-dean of the university's Department of Automation, who has led the research over the past two years.

Crossing distances may sound easy for humans, who can mitigate the chances of falling through the use of dynamic walking, or constantly falling forward.

For the less dynamic, or quasi-static, robot, it presents a significant challenge because the longer the step, the more its center of gravity moves toward the leg taking the step, and the greater the chance of falling.

A ducted fan jet engine weighs 232 grams but can produce up to 2 kg of thrust-one-third of the total weight of the Jet-HR1. The magnitude of the propulsion is calculated so that the robot can make different moves in different conditions.

The robot was depicted in a recent article published in IEEE Spectrum, the flagship magazine of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, a major international professional organization.

Huang was studying in Japan when that country was hit by a massive earthquake and tsunami in 2011, and he noticed the weak performance of robots in relief efforts at the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant.

As a fan of the international robot competitions organized by the United States Department of Defense in 2013 and 2015, Huang is aware of the weaknesses in even the winning robots.

Robots are often focused on a single action, such as climbing, he said.

"We tend not to do follow-up research but rather like to start a new subject, take a new direction. In a new direction, we may face new problems. We address them and will have a brand-new thing," he said.

"To this end, you have to be bold, because people may see it as impossible or meaningless. But when you make a successful first step, they will see the effect and recognize the way you do it. And you move forward."

In experiments, the Jet-HR1 is logging about 50 percent success. To improve its performance, it needs better engines and better systems for maintaining balance. If put in a real situation, it needs to be fixed with a microcomputer for calculation and a sensor for judging distances.

A longer-term goal for Huang's team is to enable the robot to jump to a higher floor of a building. The jet engines help reduce the impact when the robot performs dynamic motions, he said.

"Good research takes at least 10 years," Huang said.

The robot should be adaptable to demanding situations, such as performing work in an earthquake-damaged area or on the surface of another planet, he said.

The firm also plans to set up centers of manufacturing, research and development, and application demonstration in the park.

Fang Hongbo, chairman and CEO of Midea, said the launch of the smart manufacturing industrial park will be a key step to realizing the company's "smart" strategy, which focuses on human-machine connection and collaboration.

"The launch of the industrial park will help to expand Midea and Kuka's business of robotics and automation in the Chinese market," Fang said.

"China is the world's largest market for industrial robots - and this market continues to grow steadily," said Till Reuter, CEO of Kuka. "The smart manufacturing industrial park is another huge effort made by Midea and Kuka to tap the Chinese market."

According to the International Federation of Robotics, the number of robotic units in the global market will be about 210,000 units by 2020.

"China is the robotic market of the future - it offers huge potential for growth and we will be expanding our local capacities enormously in the near future," Reuter added.

According to data from the IFR, in 2016, the annual sales volume of robots in China reached the highest level ever recorded for a single country, surging 27 percent to 87,000 units year-on-year.

The federation estimates that sales of industrial robots in the Chinese market will increase by 15 to 20 percent from 2018 to 2020.

Earlier, sources from Midea said that the Guangdong-based company had worked with Kuka to set up three joint ventures with the vision of ultimately boosting fast and comprehensive growth in the automation business.

Midea, which owns a majority stake of Kuka, will own a 50 percent stake in the JVs.

"Here in the Chinese market, Kuka and Midea have the same vision to further shape 'smart manufacturing, smart home' in the near future. We are working on advanced robotics and automation - not only in industrial production, but also in other areas such as healthcare and, one day, in our daily lives at home," Reuter said.

According to Reuter, Kuka will produce and sell around 75,000 robots and AGVs (automated guided vehicles) by 2024, with a total capacity of 100,000 robotic units including existing capacity.

China’s huge market scale to drive future export growth: experts

Summary:

China's exports of robotic parts to South Korea have shot up about eight times in 2016 from the level in 2015 to account for 29.1 percent of South Korea's total robotic imports, according to latest data released by a South Korean robotic industry body. How is China's robotic industry development now? Does the country still trail foreign players who have an early start and rich experience? The Global Times recently spoke with several industry insiders who shared their views on the industry.

China, a late starter in the global competition in the robotic industry, has been catching up rapidly with rivals to claim a firm foothold in the robotic sector, according to industry insiders.

In South Korea, the imports of China-made robotic components account for 27.1 percent of the country's total such imports in 2016, up eight times from the 3.6 percent level in 2015, according to latest data released by the Seoul-based Korea Institute for Robot Industry Advancement on October 22. China has overtaken Germany and the US to become South Korea's second largest import source of robotic parts after Japan.

During the same period, South Korea's imports of German robotic parts dwindled sharply from 58.5 percent in 2015 to 18.8 percent in 2016, the data showed.

"There is a dramatic surge in China's robotic parts imports which are price competitive, while the development of the robotic industry in South Korea has been stagnant," Cho Bae-sook, a South Korean official was quoted as saying in the report.

Robotic technologies

Industry insiders pointed out that exports of China's surging robotic parts to South Korea have shed light on its rapid progress in the robotic components as well as services robotics. Robotics, divided for the purpose of use, are generally categorized as industrial robotics and services robotics.

"In recent years, China has made major technological breakthroughs in robotic parts. For example, the reduction gear manufactured by Chinese firms is now cheaper than those by competitors in Japan and Germany, with almost the same performance in precision and accuracy," Kong Minxiu, deputy general manager of Zhejiang Qianjiang Robot Co, told the Global Times on Tuesday.

In addition, Chinese manufacturers have also overtaken their foreign peers in services robotics such as balance cars, drones and floor mopping robots, with exports dominating market shares even in advanced economies such as Germany and Japan, said Yang Xingyi, CEO of Chongqing Menlo Robot.

But on the other hand, "in terms of complete industrial robotics machine-making ability, China still lags several years behind Japanese and European peers such as the 'big four robotics families' - Swiss ABB, German Kuka, Japan-based Fanuc and Yaskawa Electric Corp," Yang told the Global Times on Tuesday.

Kong noted that the technologies of robotics generally stay in tandem with a country's auto-making industry. "With regard to China's vehicle sector, the country has not accumulated rich experience in machine-building," Kong explained.

And prices for Chinese firms to implement one automatic production line would cost 100,000 yuan ($14,355) to 200,000 yuan more than other advanced players, he said.

While Japanese and European companies may be good at designing and researching on the underlying robotic technology, Chinese players could also leverage the country's complete supply chain in South China's Guangdong Province and East China's Zhejiang Province to make the machine-making price more competitive, Yang suggested.

And such strength is exemplified by Chinese firms' ability to customize and locally produce automotive system based on robot arms made by the "big four robotics families," he noted.

Comparing the market

More importantly, China has an overwhelming advantage in its market scale which no other country can rival, analysts pointed out.

China has been an important driving force behind the booming global industrial robotics industry. In 2017, China sold 138,000 units of industrial robotics, up 58 percent year-on-year, data from the Germany-based International Federation of Robotics showed.

In contrast to China, analysts attributed South Korea's stalling robotic industry to its saturated market and single-sided industry structure.

"The demand for industrial robots in South Korea is declining now… South Korea's manufacturing industry has an extensive focus on just several traditional sectors such as electronics, automobiles and ship-building, meaning that the application scenario is limited," Kong pointed out.

A businessman surnamed Wu, who has run a furniture-building factory in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, also told the Global Times on Tuesday that to cope with the rising labor costs, he is now shifting to automation system to replace labor-intensive production lines.

"The move could cut as much as 20 percent of the costs," Wu said.

In addition to traditional manufacturing, China's "Made in China 2025" initiative, which was unveiled in 2015 to transform the country into an innovation-driven, global leader in high-end industry, is also creating new demand for intelligent robotics, observers said. Robotics could also be applied in China's newly emerging industries including aviation, laser soldering, new-energy battery and production of environmental protection equipment.

In 2017, the 70 listed Chinese robotic makers have generated revenues totaling 455 billion yuan, up 36 percent year-on-year, news website sina.com reported. Their net profit was 25 billion yuan.

"It's fair to say that in South Korea, intelligent robotic is merely a concept, while in China, robotic development is growing up with its expanding new manufacturing industries," Kong explained.

And it is expected that in the future, China's exports of industrial robotics will further rise as all the new products could be tested in the huge domestic market and improved accordingly, Yang noted.

International cooperation

Given China's huge market application as well as foreign players' accumulated experience in robotic technologies, experts urged that China could further open up its market to give full play to each other's advantages and to allow Chinese firms to learn from their foreign partners.

On Saturday, Swiss industrial company ABB Group announced that it would invest as much as $150 million to set up the world's most advanced robotic factory in Shanghai, the latest sign of a robotic giant to vie for a piece of pie on China's burgeoning robotic market.

"Cooperation could offer a boost to accelerate the industry's development in China," Kong said.

China releases new four-legged robot, capable of running, climbing stairs
Source: Xinhua| 2018-12-04 13:57:54|Editor: Xiang Bo


HANGZHOU, Dec. 4 (Xinhua) -- Zhejiang University in eastern China released a four-legged robot Tuesday that is capable of running and climbing stairs.

The new "Jueying" robot, a small-sized quadruped robot that can handle 20 kg objects, is 1 meter long, 60 cm tall and weighs 70 kg. The robot is completely electric, lasts for about two hours on a full charge and can run at a top speed of just over 6 km per hour.

"The new 'Jueying' handles impact better since it seeks balance and resumes its mobility while running," said Zhu Qiuguo, a major developer of "Jueying" with Zhejiang University.

The new robot also has excellent rough terrain mobility and stability. "We made adjustments to the robot's control system so that it can have immediate stress responses to cope with an emergency," said Dr. Li Chao, a member of the Yueying team.

The first generation of "Jueying" was released in February this year and is regarded as a representative of the latest quadruped-robot technology in Asia. The technology is expected to be used for security checks, logistics, education and research.
