Core Viewpoint - The World Robot Conference has significantly contributed to the development of the global robotics industry over the past decade, achieving breakthroughs in four key areas that support high-quality development in both China and the global robotics sector [2][3]. Group 1: Technological Innovation Breakthrough - In 2024, China's robot patent applications accounted for two-thirds of the global total, showcasing a shift from heavy reliance on imports to a rich array of domestic products in core components like precision reducers and high-performance servo drives [3]. - Core technologies such as humanoid robots have evolved from simple limb control to advanced systems with intelligent "brains" and agile "bodies," utilizing domestic core components [3][4]. Group 2: Industrial Development Breakthrough - China has maintained its position as the largest industrial robot market globally, with industrial robot sales increasing from 70,000 units in 2015 to 302,000 units in 2024 [4]. - The production of industrial robots rose from 33,000 units in 2015 to 556,000 units in 2023, while service robot production reached 10.52 million units in 2023, marking a year-on-year growth of 34.3% [5]. Group 3: Application Scenario Breakthrough - Industrial robots are now utilized across 71 major industries and 236 sub-industries, with China's manufacturing robot density ranking third globally [6]. - In the commercial service robot market, Chinese manufacturers dominate with an 84.7% share of global shipments, highlighting significant penetration in various sectors including home services and logistics [6]. Group 4: International Cooperation Breakthrough - The conference has expanded its international support from 12 organizations in its first year to 28 in the current edition, facilitating deeper cooperation and knowledge exchange in the robotics field [7][10]. - The participation of international delegations has increased significantly, with over 300 overseas groups attending this year, indicating a growing global interest in robotics applications and collaboration [7][10]. Group 5: Contributions to High-Quality Development - The conference serves as a "barometer" for global robotics development, having hosted over 200 forums and attracted nearly 1.7 million attendees, thus fostering innovation and industry integration [8]. - It acts as an "accelerator" for industry development by addressing application scenarios and facilitating connections between supply chains, contributing to rapid growth in China's robotics sector [9]. - The conference also functions as a "bridgehead" for deepening open cooperation, with a notable increase in international participation and the establishment of the World Robotics Cooperation Organization, which now includes 35 member units from over 10 countries [10].
