With the rapid development of science and technology, artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing and other advanced technologies are gradually penetrating into all walks of life. As an important pillar of the national economy, the automotive industry has also ushered in unprecedented changes. Among them, the emergence of automotive robots has injected new vitality into the automotive industry. In this paper, we will have an in-depth discussion on the definition of automotive robots, the current development status, the supply chain system, and China's development strategy in this field.
Definition and Classification of Automotive Robot
Automotive robots are various types of robots that are applied to automobile manufacturing, testing, repairing and driving. According to different functions, automotive robots can be divided into the following categories:
Automotive manufacturing robots: mainly used in automotive production line welding, painting, assembly and other processes, to improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs.
Inspection robots: quality inspection of automotive parts and the whole vehicle to ensure product quality.
Maintenance robots: with intelligent diagnosis and repair capabilities, they can assist maintenance personnel to improve maintenance efficiency.
Driving assistance robots: through the automatic driving technology, provide assistance to drivers to improve driving safety.
Automotive robot development status
International status: developed countries in the field of automotive robotics research and application of earlier, more mature technology. For example, Germany, Japan, the United States and other countries in the automotive industry has been widely used in the production line of robots to improve production efficiency.
Domestic Status: In recent years, China's automotive robotics market has risen rapidly, and many companies have layout. Under the dual impetus of policy support and market demand, China's automotive robotics industry presents the following characteristics:
(1) The industry scale continues to expand: According to relevant data, China's automotive robotics market size has been growing year by year, and it is expected that it will maintain high growth in the next few years.
(2) Continuous breakthroughs in technological innovation: domestic enterprises have made a series of breakthroughs in the core technology of automotive robots, and some of the products have reached the international advanced level.
(3) Application Scenarios Continuously Expanding: Automotive robots have gradually expanded from the initial field of automobile manufacturing to a variety of fields such as inspection, maintenance, and driving assistance.
Automotive Robot Supply Chain System
Automotive Robot Supply Chain mainly consists of the following segments:
Upstream: core parts suppliers, such as gearboxes, servo motors, controllers, sensors and so on.
Midstream: automotive robot body manufacturers, responsible for the development, production and sales of the whole machine.
Downstream: automobile enterprises, maintenance service providers and other application ends.
China's automotive robotics development strategy
Policy support: the government should increase the policy support for the automotive robotics industry, including tax incentives, capital subsidies, and talent training.
Technological innovation: Enterprises should increase investment in R&D, breakthroughs in core key technologies, and improve product competitiveness.
Industry chain synergy: Promote close cooperation between upstream and downstream enterprises to realize the synergistic development of the industry chain.
Market Expansion: Actively develop domestic and international markets to increase market share.
Talent cultivation: Strengthen the cultivation of talents in the field of automotive robotics, and provide talent guarantee for industrial development.
In short, automotive robotics, as an important part of the automotive industry, has a broad development prospect. Driven by multiple factors such as policy, technology and market, China's automotive robotics industry is expected to achieve leapfrog development and contribute to the transformation and upgrading of the automotive industry.
