Chinese robot sales in the world's first 90% of the world's imports

Electronic enthusiasts are eight o'clock in the morning: "Surgical robots are another 'big cake' besides industrial robots, but our core technology in this field is monopolized by foreign companies. What should we do?" The country held on April 2nd At the Robot Development Forum, Professor Cao Qixin from the School of Mechanical and Power Engineering of Shanghai Jiaotong University unveiled the "Iceberg" in the domestic robot industry.

With the gradual disappearance of China's demographic dividend and the requirement of “Made in China 2025”, robot substitution has become the trend of the times, which has made Chinese robots the world's number one in four consecutive years. The domestic industry has also placed the robot industry in a priority position. . According to statistics, there are 28 provinces that focus on developing the robot industry in China, more than 40 robot industry parks, and more than 500 robot companies.

However, in stark contrast to the "hotness" of robots, the reality is that "in China's huge robotic consumer market, local brand robots only account for 4%" and the "cold thinking" of participating experts.

Imported robots account for 90% of the market

In a small glass bottle, the "Da Vinci" surgical robot can perform a "skin" suture operation for a grape. Cao Qixin said that "Da Vinci" based on MIT's robotic surgery technology completed a The rapid and accurate operation of Taiwan has the advantages of small wounds, less bleeding, and greatly faster recovery time. "There are 3,000 surgical robots in the United States, and there are only 60 in China, and the market can reach 10 billion." He believes that "Da Vinci", which is calculated in centimeters, has almost monopolized the domestic high-end medical robot market with its precision.

“Robots are divided into educational robots, entertainment robots, medical robots, public service robots, storage robots, industrial robots, etc. Surgery robots are just a small piece of them, but they represent the reality of the whole industry.” Ma Hongbin, professor of the School of Automation, Beijing Institute of Technology, told Reporter, the core components of the robot mainly include electronic control system, servo motor and reducer, and the three key core technologies corresponding to it, mainly in the hands of a few foreign robot companies such as Japan FANUC, Japan Yaskawa, Germany KUKA and Swiss ABB. .

This has led to two status quo: First, foreign robotics companies account for about 90% of the Chinese robot market. Only Fanuc, Yaskawa, KUKA and ABB have seized about 65% of the market. Domestic companies are hard to be trusted by users because they are difficult to match the former in terms of accuracy, reliability and stability. This point is also repeatedly emphasized by Wu Hongxin, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on the forum.

Second, due to the lack of key core technologies, most of the domestic robotics industry is in the stage of system integration. The upstream enterprises that hold the core technology also have absolute right to speak and earn excess profits. System integrators can only earn about 10% of gross profit.

Technically dominant people will lead the industry

Ma Hongbin has a domestic robot listed company analysis report, reflecting the development of domestic robotics in the first half of 2016 from the perspective of R&D investment, revenue, profit margin, government subsidies, etc., including Huichuan Technology (300124.SZ), Xinshi Leading companies such as 002527.SZ, Xinsong Robot (300024.SZ), Huachangda (300278.SZ), and Eston (002747.SZ).

The report shows that in China's huge robotic consumer market, the local brand robot market share is only 4%. At the same time, the robot industry presents a "comprehensive, long industrial chain", "high technical threshold, low level of intelligence", "multiple market segments, less profitable opportunities", "large investment funds, small business volume", "industry monopoly, government The influence is weak, "the technology changes quickly, and the advantages accumulate slowly".

Taking the key, Ma Hongbin analyzed to reporters that “these robots in the world” have 4,549 FANU employees, 3,900 KUKAs, and even more than 400 people who have monopolized the world's high-end robot reducers. The common feature is small and strong."

"In the future, whoever has an advantage in technology will lead the development of this industry. This requires everyone to think about how to improve their research and development capabilities." Ma Hongbin said.

"The robot industry boss ABB has half of Sweden's bloodline," but they did not expect that at their doorstep, Volvo did not choose their products, but chose the mobile robot solution provided by our company." Xinsong Robotics Automation Co., Ltd. Liu Changyong, assistant to the president, shared this case with you: The developers of domestic robot core components are working hard to find a breakthrough.

The team of Professor Cao Qixin from Shanghai Jiaotong University has also developed a surgical navigation system, a “Zhenlong” porous minimally invasive endoscopic surgery robot, and a “Jianlong” single-hole surgical robot in collaboration with Waseda University, Japan. Because the start is late, the core competitiveness is temporarily behind, but the cooperation between industry, academia and research can be our research and development advantage." Cao Qixin said.

There is no other way to make up the gap, only to work harder than others. First of all, we must promote the cooperation and communication between the government, production, learning, research, and use. Secondly, strengthen the research on the core technology of robots, and concentrate on the strength of research to realize the localization of core components. Third, Chinese researchers must “go out” to Cooperation, investment, mergers and acquisitions or acquisitions use existing foreign technology and markets, and at the same time drive their own development.
