Recently, the logistics unmanned delivery robot jointly developed by Changsha Xingshen Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. and Jingdong Group began to use. According to the introduction, the robot is 1.6 meters high and has 30 independent compartments in the "carriage", which can carry up to 200 kilograms of cargo. With a top speed of 18 kilometers per hour, it is able to stop at the distribution point and automatically avoid road obstacles. Machine delivery offers have many advantages over manual delivery. It can realize the high controllability of each shipment delivery; reduce the waste such as disposable packaging produced by express “over-packaging”; it does not need to display customer information to solve the problem of easy disclosure of customer information.

 

According to reports, as an intelligent distribution robot, there are two major innovations. First, the size of the cabinet can be adjusted according to the size of the package. Second, the separation of the cabinet can be realized, and the whole container can be directly replaced, so that the express can be realized in the community downstairs in the future. Technical support was provided by the quick opening of cabinets and distribution robots.

 

At present, the global robot market continues to grow, the industrial robot market continues to grow steadily, and the service robot market is showing a rapid development trend. With the gradual maturity of artificial intelligence technology, the continuous depth of human-computer cooperation, and the continuous development of the robot product application industry, the global robot industry will usher in a new round of growth.

 

The global robot industry market scale exceeds 27 billion yuan

 

The data shows that in the first half of 2018, the global robot industry market size was 27.98 billion US dollars, an increase of 20.6%. It is worth noting that in 2013-2017, the global robot market continued to grow in size, with an average compound annual growth rate of 17.9%.

Industrial robot market size is 16.6 billion yuan

 

Industrial robots are the most representative equipment for intelligent manufacturing. Industrial robots refer to robots used in production processes and environments. Industrial robots are automatically controlled, reprogrammable, multi-purpose, three-axis or more axis machines that are fixed or mobile for industrial automation.

 

In the first half of 2018, the global industrial robot market was 16.77 billion US dollars. In 2013-2017, the global industrial robot market continued to climb, with an average annual compound growth rate of 16.1%. With the gradual maturity of technology, robot performance and application scenarios expanded. The global industrial robot market demand is rising, and the future industrial robot market will further grow.

 

In the global sales of industrial robots in various regions of the world, the total sales volume of industrial robots in Asia reached 242,000 units in 2017, and the sales volume of industrial robots has exploded. It is expected that sales will exceed 350,000 units in 2020. In 2017, sales of industrial robots in Europe will be 64,000. Taiwan, with an increase of 8.9% in the 59,000 units in 2016; sales of industrial robots in the Americas were 5 million units, an increase of 17.1% year-on-year.

Service robots grow rapidly and the market prospects are broad

 

The service robot is a semi-automatic or fully-automatic robot that can perform service work beneficial to human health. From the functional characteristics of the robot, the essential difference between the service robot and the industrial robot is that the working environment of the industrial robot is known. The vast majority of the working environment faced by service robots is unknown. According to the application field, service robots can be divided into two categories: personal/home robots and professional service robots.

 

In the first half of 2018, the global service robot market was 3.47 billion US dollars. In 2013-2017, the global service robot market grew year by year. With the rapid development of information technology and the Internet, the continuous improvement of artificial intelligence technology promoted the application of intelligent service robots. And the continuous expansion of the service model. As the information exchange hub in the Internet of Things ecosystem, the service robot will also provide any local and local information input to other connected devices through the Internet and the cloud, and further replace the user's self-control of other connected devices through artificial intelligence technology to provide users with Intelligent services, the market prospects are very broad.

The rise of special robots, the successive layout of countries

 

At present, with the continuous maturity of robot technology, the robot market has entered a period of rapid growth, and the application scenarios of special robots have expanded significantly. Innovative enterprises have emerged in large numbers to promote the healthy development of the global robot industry. The data shows that the global special robot market in the first half of 2018 was US$6.36 billion. With the continuous improvement of the performance of special robots, the emerging markets are constantly being promoted, and the application scenarios are expanding. The global special robot market will continue to grow.
