Robots will evolve from simply performing tasks to achieving human–robot collaboration.
Release time：2018-10-27
In recent years, industrial robots have experienced rapid growth worldwide. Driven by external factors and supportive policies, demand in the industrial robotics market continues to expand. According to forecasts from relevant institutions, global industrial robot sales are expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 15% over the next few years, reaching nearly US$50 billion by 2025.
One of the key drivers behind the rapid growth of the industrial robotics market is the ongoing aging of the population, which is leading to a sharp rise in labor costs. According to projections by the World Health Organization, driven by declining birth rates and increasing life expectancy, the global population aged 60 and over is expected to reach 200 million within the next three decades. Consequently, an increasing number of governments are actively promoting the development of the robotics industry by offering subsidies or tax incentives for industrial automation, and the market is anticipated to continue expanding robustly in the years ahead.
Robots are transforming manufacturing processes.
Humans are ill-suited to perform dangerous and monotonous tasks, which can now be taken over by industrial robots. The replacement of human labor by machines has become a major trend of our times. Industrial robots operate virtually without time constraints; with simple programming, they can carry out the required tasks and repeatedly execute the same operations without suffering from fatigue or experiencing declines in efficiency.
Replacing humans with machines should not be seen as taking away jobs, since this process also creates many new roles. By delegating routine tasks to robots, people can focus on decision-making and creative work. Alternatively, the future may involve closer collaboration between humans and machines, jointly tackling complex tasks with greater efficiency and flexibility.
Young workers often hesitate to take on monotonous manufacturing jobs. Industrial robots not only help address labor shortages but also boost production efficiency to new heights, while creating new roles in areas such as equipment maintenance and technical servicing.
Many years ago, the United States adopted a deindustrialization strategy, prompting a wave of factory relocations to China and other countries, where labor costs were significantly lower. As a result, the U.S. ultimately lost a critical pillar of its economy. Today, with demographic dividends fading in many regions, leveraging automation to boost efficiency and cut costs has become a key driver of manufacturing development.
Currently, the global robot fleet has surpassed one million units, with Japanese manufacturers holding the largest share. In the past, 90% of robots were deployed in the automotive industry, performing a variety of repetitive tasks on assembly lines. Today, that share has declined by 50%, as industrial robots are expanding into other sectors, including laboratories, warehouses, the energy sector, hospitals, and more.
Human–machine integration unlocks smart application scenarios.
With breakthroughs in technologies such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, industrial robots are undergoing a new transformation. Traditional robots were limited to performing simple tasks. Today, they are being connected to networks, equipped with an array of sensors to perceive their surroundings, and empowered by machine-learning algorithms that enable them to make proactive decisions, allowing them to tackle tasks previously beyond their capabilities.
New robotic technologies are being deployed across an expanding range of intelligent applications. Artificial intelligence has significantly enhanced the flexibility of robots, and by integrating complementary technologies—such as machine vision, force sensors, and speech recognition—future robots will boast even more advanced capabilities and deliver substantial benefits to the workplace.
Robots equipped with vision and tactile capabilities can significantly enhance the speed and efficiency of manufacturing systems, while also improving their precision to surpass human dexterity. As a result, robots can seamlessly handle tasks that are beyond human capability, helping factories achieve higher profitability.
