Polish media did not pay much attention to this issue. What's the case? Well, in Beijing, from 21 to 25 August the planet Robot Conference 2024 (chin. 世界机器人大会) was held, or planet Robot Conference.
This is now the most crucial event in planet robotics. That's why everyone in the robotic business was involved. The conference was actively attended by over 400 experts from Poland and abroad who discussed the most modern technologies and directions for improvement of industrial robotics and not only.
During the conference, more than 600 robots of various types were presented, produced by 169 home and global companies (including Tesla, Kuka, ABB, SMC or Saisun). Over 60 planet premieres of fresh device models took place here.
The planet Robot Conference 2024 has become a condition by which the hosts have been able to illustrate to all guests what advancement the Chinese robotic manufacture has made in the last 10 years. present China is the world's largest robotic market, but at the same time it has become the world's largest maker of industrial robots.
According to the Ministry of manufacture and Information Technology (chin. 工业和信息化部) until July 2024 China owned more than 190,000 robot-related patents, accounting for about two-thirds of all patents worldwide. In 2023, China produced 430 000 industrial robots, and the recently installed units in the country accounted for more than half of the global marketplace over the last 3 years. The full income of the robotic manufacture last year exceeded RMB 20 billion (about PLN 10.76 billion). Over the last 10 years, the number of robots per 10,000 workers in the Chinese manufacturing sector has increased from 49 to 470. There are presently almost 720 companies in China straight or indirectly linked to robots, including nearly 50 companies producing humanoid robots. It is estimated that the Chinese marketplace for this kind of robot will scope 75 billion RMB in 2029 (about PLN 40.4 billion). China in this category will take first place in the world.
The top interest during the planet Robot Conference 2024 was generated by humanoid robots, including those supported by artificial intelligence solutions. In Beijing, 27 fresh robots were presented in this category. Among them were robots capable of conducting free conversation, capable of moving stablely on a treadmill at a velocity of 6 km/h, jumping between obstacles, or performing very precise manual operations. There were presented machines performing waiting services, preparing pizza, brewing coffee. erstwhile again, there was a show football match between 2 robot teams. peculiar attention was paid to conference guests and people visiting the accompanying exhibition by humanoid robots who were equipped with human faces. These robots express the mimics and the words "body" of emotions that correspond to the content of their statements they gave in real time during conversations with the audience.
According to data from the global Federation of Robotics in 2023 Chinese exports of industrial robots reached a evidence level of 118300 units. Over half of industrial robots installed worldwide in fresh years installed in China. For 11 consecutive years in a row China is the world's largest industrial robot market.
A surprise at planet Robot Conference 2024 was the presentation of a large number of household robots at affordable prices, located between average smartphone prices and cheapest cars. Chinese companies are starting to prepare for mass production of these robots. They will go to thousands and even millions of households. During the conference, it was shown that service works are increasingly utilized in family, hotel, restaurant services, medical care and another socio-business areas. any manufacturers first presented solutions for industrial applications of humanoid robots. Quality control of vehicles, sorting of materials, handling of goods, warehouses and another tasks for these machines in production plants or logistics centres are not a problem for them.
A lot of attention has been paid to specialist robots that play an crucial function in aviation and maritime exploration and rescue.
During the planet Robot Conference 2024 discussion panels, advanced technological levels of Chinese robots were repeatedly highlighted. The speed, precision, reliability and burden capacity of industrial robots are gradually improved. The average time of unfailing work for any products reached 80,000 hours, resulting in a global level.
The improvement of the robotic manufacture in China has been progressing for more than 10 years, but there has been a strong acceleration since last year. Last November, the Ministry of manufacture and Information Technology issued "Guidelines for the Innovative improvement of Humanoid Robots". In the same period in Beijing, the first provincial innovation centre for humanoid robotics was established, and in May this year, the first national innovation centre in this field was presented in Shanghai. As part of the planet Robot Conference 2024, Agibot of Shanghai announced that as of October this year, it will start supplying two-legged and self-propelled (wheel-drive) robots. First, the production will be counted in tens and hundreds of pieces per month.
During the planet Robot Conference 2024 it was stressed that in the last 10 years China has made very fast advancement in the robotics area, especially in the humanoid robot sector, reaching a breakthrough in bionic perception, recognition, planning, control technologies and the full industrial chain for their production. Robotics technology has been profoundly integrated into the economical improvement of China, which fosters the improvement of Chinese high-quality robotics industry, while supporting the construction of a modern industrial strategy based on innovation and modern technologies. Although the Chinese robotics manufacture has made huge, even leap progress, it inactive has a long way to go to full growth. This was besides emphasized by experts discussing at the planet Robot Conference 2024.
Will the West keep up with what is going on in China, or will the most crucial moments be again sleeping for sanctions, barriers and restrictions? But will they solve any Western problems?
