As time goes by, 2021 will come to an end.

Standing at this moment, looking back on this year, probably everyone’s side has left many key words in this year, all kinds of.

But there is a word that swept all walks of life and coerced almost everyone, that is inner volume.

Today, let’s talk about the inner volume.

At present, with the deepening of technical barriers leading to the abnormal difficulty of technological progress and the sharp increase of innovation difficulty under continuous development, opening up a new development track and finding a new way of survival are often in a weak dilemma. Therefore, practitioners often choose to turn around and turn to the original track, carry out fierce price competition with their peers, and ignore the progress of technology. This practice of shrinking the industry and losing the future of development is not appropriate, but it is also helpless.

Involution refers to the phenomenon that a social or cultural model stagnates or cannot be transformed into another advanced model after it reaches a certain form at a certain stage of development.

1. Involution and rampant vicious competition

As we all know, robots are known as the “Pearl at the top of the manufacturing crown”. On the one hand, it is a noble evaluation of improving human productivity in this field. On the other hand, it also highlights the high technical difficulty in the industry. As a cooperative robot in the latest direction of robot development in the field of industrial automation, it perfectly combines human wisdom and robot efficiency to make production more flexible. It is favored by many production enterprises from 3C, automobile, metal processing, semiconductor and new energy seeking intelligent transformation. The development scale of the industry has maintained a continuous growth trend for many years.

However, there are hidden worries under the grand occasion. Since its birth, the core technology and development direction of cooperative robot have been firmly in the hands of some giants for a long time. Although the alarm bell of semiconductor core technology is still in the ear, even with the will to break through, it is not easy to climb the technical barrier, and the market has entered an unprecedented “internal” battle.

According to authoritative statistics, in just a few years from 2016 to 2020, the number of global cooperative robot manufacturers has increased from about 30 to more than 110 in 2020, including more than 75 in the Chinese market, which is still growing. Behind the grand occasion is that many enterprises lack the accumulation of core technology and can not follow the “quality” development route. They can only turn to the vicious competition of “price war” and try to find a way out in “quantity”. For a moment, it can be said that there are gunsmoke everywhere.

However, this is undoubtedly fatal for an industry whose core competitiveness is to provide advanced solutions for the manufacturing industry. The direct consequence is that under the price war, the development space of major manufacturers is continuously reduced, the homogenization of products is becoming more and more serious, the R & D level of the whole industrial chain is not developed, and it is unable to provide customers with better products and services. The overall level of the industry is stagnant.

Under such a crisis, do you choose to join the price war with no end and no future, or refuse to lie flat and cut through thorns and thorns to open a new era? How to answer the important proposition of breakthrough development of cooperative robot?

2. Breaking the game and opening a new era

Following the pace of the times, the answer clue we can get is to use artificial intelligence technology to help take-off wings and open a new era of intelligent robots. As the well-known word industry 4.0 says, we will usher in an era of promoting industrial change by using information technology and an era led by intelligence.

In the new era, we increasingly expect that robots will be closer to us in more aspects, rather than being “locked in a cage” like traditional industrial robots. We hope that robots can really become our good friends and partners and communicate closely with them. Only in this way can we complete the expectation of “1 + 1 > 2″ of man-machine cooperation.

At the same time, standing in a higher pattern, the current development of artificial intelligence technology is in full swing. If the development of robot manufacturers can make use of the power of new technology to realize the uniqueness and differentiation of products, they will also achieve technical breakthrough and achieve “corner overtaking” on this newly opened track.

Then, new problems emerged. Who can shoulder this heavy responsibility?

Looking back, in 2016, the industrial standard issued by the international organization for Standardization for cooperative robots defined the design details and system safety technical specifications of cooperative robots. All cooperative robot products must pass this standard certification before they can be sold on the market. As a result, cooperative robots are on the right track on the road of standardized production, opening the first year of cooperative robots.

In the twinkling of an eye, in 2021, the industry leader represented by Han’s robot turned the great goal of the era of intelligent robot into reality with the power of struggle, opened the first year of intelligent cooperative robot, and led the cooperative robot industry into a new era of intelligent cooperative robot. Once launched, Maira, a multi perception intelligent assistant, has surprised four people and won various awards at home and abroad for many times. In terms of technical strength, it brings together the latest sensors, perfectly realizes the unprecedented artificial intelligence integration in control and systems and applications, and is also equipped with magical “ears”: it can communicate with robots through voice commands and dialogue, so as to improve production efficiency, automatically store sound memory and recall it at any time.

In addition, the intelligent technology of Han robot also fully shows the humanistic care of science and technology people-oriented. It is equipped with the human body detection sensing technology and intelligent sensor independently developed by Han robot. It can see, listen and perceive the external environment, and has the function of “predicting the occurrence of collision behavior”, so as to effectively avoid injury. In this way, Han’s robot breaks the dilemma of the industry by opening up a new track, creates an industry precedent, makes itself win the development opportunity, and gives its own scheme for the benign competition of the industry.

3. Prospects for future development

The introduction of national policies also supports the bright prospect of intelligent robots. On December 28, the Ministry of industry and information technology, together with several departments, officially issued the “14th five year plan” for the development of robot industry, and pointed out that a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation should accelerate the evolution. Robots should be oriented by the development of high-end intelligence, face the needs of industrial transformation and consumer upgrading, and support the coordinated promotion of artificial intelligence, 5g, big data The integration and application of new technologies such as cloud computing will improve the intelligent and networked level of robots.

2021 is the first year of the world’s intelligent cooperative robot. In the face of the inner circle of the industry, Han robot took the lead in launching the first shot into intelligence and became the pioneer of the era of intelligent cooperative robot. In 2022, with the support of policies, the whole industry will overcome all difficulties with original intention, grasp major policy opportunities, and will usher in another outbreak!
