1. Overview of industrial robots
Industrial robots refer to multi-jointed manipulators or multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical devices for the industrial production field. They can replace manual labor to complete heavy and repetitive work, while improving the accuracy and production efficiency of industrial processing. Industrial robots are classified in various ways and can be classified according to motion coordinate form, driving mode, etc. According to the mechanical structure characteristics, they can be divided into four categories: vertical multi-jointed robots, SCARA robots, collaborative robots , and Delta robots. Common functions include handling, assembly, welding, spraying, etc., and are widely used in automobile manufacturing and 3C electronics industries.

5. Global industrial robot development trends
Reviewing the development process of the industrial robot industry in China, Japan and South Korea, it can be seen that "industrial environment + talent cultivation + demand catalysis" is the core development driving force of the market. Combining the development paths of FANUC and Yaskawa Electric , the two giants of Japanese industrial robots, the key to the future development of industrial robot companies lies in their own industrial chain layout and technological breakthroughs in key components. In the short and medium term, industrial robots will also continue to evolve in the direction of intelligence, increased load, miniaturization and specialization; in the long term, industrial robots will achieve complete intelligence and functional integration, and a single robot is expected to achieve full coverage of the product manufacturing process.
