Core Insights - Guangdong has become the largest hub for the smart robotics industry in China, but it needs to enhance technology from "laboratory precision" to "workshop reliability" to move up the global value chain and address the challenge of retaining top talent in private enterprises [1][2] Industry Overview - As of April 2025, the core industry scale of artificial intelligence in Guangdong exceeded 77 billion yuan, maintaining a leading position nationally. The cumulative production of industrial robots reached 96,200 units, while service robots totaled 2.6708 million units, reflecting growth rates of 31.1% and 10.8% respectively [1] Challenges and Bottlenecks - The industry faces challenges in self-innovation of "hardcore technology," precise matching of application scenarios with demand, and a shortage of cutting-edge talent. Many small and medium-sized enterprises have low AI implementation rates, and there is insufficient government-led scenario openness [2][3] - There is a significant talent gap in high-end positions, particularly for interdisciplinary talents in "mechatronics" [2] Recommendations for Development - To bridge the gap in technology application, it is suggested to create demonstration application scenarios that focus on high-value areas, establish a tiered scenario list, and lower the application threshold for small and medium-sized enterprises [2] - It is recommended to support private enterprises in integrating technology talent into the national innovation system through legislative support, increased incentives, and improved evaluation mechanisms [3] - Targeted policy resources should be injected into "independent innovation" and "talent integration points" to help Guangdong establish a global voice in the artificial intelligence and robotics industry [3]
