When the reporter came to the laboratory for the development of humanoid robots, the scientific research team was testing the robot's synchronization ability. The robot in front of us can not only capture people's actions through the camera for synchronous imitation, but also capture people's EEG information and motion intentions through brain-computer interface, myoelectric interaction and other ways to directly and synchronously control the robot's behavior.
Not long ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the Guidance on the Innovation and Development of Humanoid Robots, proposing that humanoid robots are expected to become disruptive products after computers, smart phones, and new energy vehicles, and it is clear that the goal of achieving mass production in 2025 and comprehensive strength reaching the world's advanced level in 2027. Various places have begun to increase innovation and cultivation in the field of humanoid robots, and remarkable results have been achieved in human-computer interaction, machine vision and motion control, and the industrial chain is also more perfect. It is expected that the market size of humanoid robots will reach 20 billion yuan this year.
At the same time that humanoid robots accelerate the innovative layout, China's industrial scale in the direction of industrial robots and service robots is also continuing to grow. The latest data show that the current sales of industrial robots in China have accounted for more than half of the world, ranking first in the world for 10 consecutive years. In the first ten months of this year, the output of industrial robots exceeded 350,000 sets, and the output of service robots was nearly 6.44 million sets, an increase of 21.7%.
At the same time, the "robot + industry application" is also deepening. Industrial robots cover 60 categories and 168 industries in the national economy. Innovative products such as exoskeleton robots continue to emerge, accelerating their landing in logistics, elderly care, emergency rescue and other fields.
In the next step, China will adhere to the application traction, innovation driven, strengthen the central and local collaboration, and jointly cultivate world-class robot industrial clusters and application demonstration bases. It is expected that by 2025, the average annual growth rate of China's robot industry revenue will remain above 20%.
