As the most vivid sign that human beings have entered the intelligent society, robots have accelerated their popularization in our lives in the past two years. Whether it is transmitting dishes in restaurants or sorting and loading and unloading in warehouses, especially during the epidemic, a large number of "no contact" demands have provided broader application space for robots. The reporter of National Business Daily recently came into contact with "Qing Lang Intelligence" is an artificial intelligence enterprise that provides intelligent unmanned delivery solutions for global enterprises. Its intelligent delivery robots have been landed in catering, medical, hotel and other scenes.
In a recent interview, Li Tong, founder and CEO of The company, told reporters that the critical point has come when service robots enter human life on a large scale. In this round of international competition, Chinese enterprises are emerging as a new force and leading the development of global service robots.
Chinese enterprises are leading the world in innovation
According to the China Robot Industry Development Report (2021) released by The China Association of Electronics, the global robot market is expected to reach 33.58 billion US dollars in 2021, with an average growth rate of about 11.5% from 2016 to 2021. The global market keeps growing, with service robots becoming an important support force. Its market size is estimated at $12.52 billion.
In fact, China has become the world's largest and fastest growing robot market, "service robots into human life, the critical point has arrived." Li Tong, founder and CEO of Qinglang Intelligence, told reporters, "In the past two years, service robots have been rapidly popularizedat various racetracks. In this round of international competition, Chinese enterprises have emerged as a new force, leading the world in terms of products and production capacity. China is leading the development of service robots around the world."
"Qing lang smart" was established in 2010, is committed to wisdom there is no distribution solutions for companies in the world, now its intelligent distribution robot has implement landing in scenarios such as catering, hotels, health care, and successively entered the United States, Germany, Canada, Italy, South Korea, and other overseas countries and regions, products shipped over 20000 units. In September, Optimus intelligence announced a $200 million Series D funding round led by SoftBank Vision Fund and joined by CicC and Prosperity7 Ventures, Saudi Aramco's diversified venture capital fund, which broke the record for commercial service robotics in China. Later, Optimus intelligence announced that it has joined hands with SoftBank Robotics Group to establish a global strategic partnership to promote the use of robotic systems in the service industry.
According to Li Tong, China's leading service robot is supported by many favorable factors. First, China has unique advantages in technology with many application scenarios, large enough data and fast algorithm change. Secondly, the commercialization of service robots depends on the improvement of the non-standard supply chain. As a global manufacturing power, China's manufacturing industry has complete categories and a complete system, and the supply chain advantage is very obvious. More importantly, self-reliance in science and technology has become a strategic support for national development. The country gives strong support to the development of hard science and technology, and a large number of policy support and institutional innovation make this field rich in capital and talents, which press the accelerator button for the development of service robot industry.
Industrial chain long head enterprises have obvious advantage of first mover
The reporter noted that catering is one of the main scenes of large-scale application of service robots. According to Li Tong, catering is the biggest basic plate of the local life industry, the technical content of the waiter post is low, the work content is boring, and the human cost is rising, recruitment is difficult, the staff turnover rate is high, citing the robot is inevitable, therefore, the catering field has become a service robot players.
As a matter of fact, catering is one of the most difficult scenes for service robots to conquer, because restaurants are crowded with people and have high mobility. Each restaurant has different moving lines and channels, and distribution robots have high mobility complexity and face much higher challenges than unmanned factory environment.
"For catering enterprises, operating efficiency and operating time, the present stage machine substitution is a good account, we have to play 70 minutes, now the robot landing time is very short after all, the future with the iteration technology, operational ability of continued ascension and performance of service robots will be better and better, more practical use." Li Tong said.
In addition to catering, hotels and hospitals are also the main scenes where service robots are rapidly landing. Especially during the epidemic, service robots have played an important role in hospital cleaning, disinfection and distribution. Strategy Analytics reports that the professional robot segment grew rapidly in 2020, especially in the cleaning and disinfection sector, where shipments surged 165 percent year-on-year.
"Hospital is a scene with great potential for service robot landing. It takes a long time and high cost to train a professional medical talent. Repetitive and simple mechanical work in the hospital can be completely completed by robots, freeing doctors and nurses and leaving more time for patients. "However, in the medical field, it is more serious, the decision-making period is long, and it will take some time for service robots to enter large-scale." Li Tong said.
As the growth potential of robots is rapidly unleashed, more and more players are getting involved. According to the statistics of Thai Joint Venture, as of September this year, the robot circuit has completed 174 rounds of financing, including 57 cases with a single sum of more than 100 million yuan, totaling more than 15 billion yuan. In Lebel view, service robot industry chain is very long, earlier master technology, establish a local operating network enterprises have strong first-mover advantage, "at present, the more qualitative change has been completed, is quantitative change, how to fall to the ground more scenarios, let robot better use, for various enterprises, today's competition is omni-directional, competition is not only a better technology, stronger algorithm, And the ability to manage the supply chain and efficiently build local service operation networks."
