According to incomplete statistics, there are currently more than 400 robotics companies in China, and there are as many as 30 to 40 robotic industrial parks under construction. Many of them have spent billions of yuan (RMB, the same below) on their generous efforts; at least 30 cities will The robot industry is listed as a key development target.
“The era of great development of industrial robots in China has arrived,†said Cai Hejun, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
The International Robot Federation (IFR) predicts that due to the vigorous implementation of automated production, China's industrial robots will rank first in the world in 2017, and industrial robot “jobs†will enter the fast lane of development.
In addition to the leaps and bounds of industrial robots, service robots that are close to daily life are also frequently appearing in China. In Beijing, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Hefei and other places, robot chefs and robot attendants perform their duties. They are orderly in passing food, cooking, and delivering meals. They attract many customers; robot shopping guides who can talk and lead the way in supermarkets. Also get the people "like it."
In particular, during the Spring Festival, the “labor shortage†has made robots that do not require rising wages and rest more popular.
Zhang Chengcheng, the boss of a hotpot restaurant in Jiangsu, said that half of the waiters in this year's shop have returned home for the New Year, and the new recruits temporarily failed to recruit them. In desperation, they had to spend 70,000 yuan to buy robots and pass them on.
It can be foreseen that, in the context of rising rigid labor costs in China, replacing robots with more robots will no longer be an emergency move, but rather a general trend.
Guangzhou has already started the “machine substitution†operation at the end of 2014. It is planned that by 2017, more than 60% of industrial enterprises above designated size should use intelligent manufacturing equipment such as industrial robots.
According to the plan of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, the robot density in China by 2020 (the number of robots used per 10,000 employees) should reach 100 or more.
The latest report issued by the Boston Consulting Group in the United States believes that robots with better performance and lower prices will accelerate the replacement of labor in the next decade. This trend is particularly evident in East Asia, and China will become one of the countries where robots are promoted relatively quickly. This helps save money and improve labor productivity.
In a country with a large population, such as China, will the pace of "machine-for-agent substitution" make employment more "stressful"?
At present, there is no need to worry about this issue because the density of robots in China lags far behind that of developed countries and it is still in a "catch-up phase."
According to IFR data, in the manufacturing industry in China, there are only 30 robots per 10,000 workers, which is far from 437 in South Korea, 323 in Japan, and 282 in Germany.
"That is to say, the application of robots in China's manufacturing industry is almost negligible," said Qu Daowi, deputy director of China National Engineering Center for Robotics.
In addition, the limitations of the robot itself also determine the large-scale popularity is currently not realistic. Qu Dao-kui pointed out that the so-called robots in China's manufacturing industry are actually robots, that is, "arms without hands." They have advantages in accuracy, speed, and load, but "diligent work can't be done now." Because 80% of human work is done by hand, only 20% is done by arm.
Qu Dao-kui suggested that efforts should be made to improve the effective mechanism for coordinating operations between robots and humans, to complement each other's advantages, and avoid falling into the choice between "robots and people can only choose one."
