Abstract:The development of robot industry plays a vital important role for national strategy. In the first part, a comprehensive analysis of global manufacturing is elaborated, including the current situation, problems, and trends, pointing out that the global manufacturing industry confronts with manufacturing mode changes. In the military field, the robots play a role of important tactical weapons and logistical support equipment. In the service field, robots are already serving as life-saving tools for surgery, smart-rehabilitation trainers for the convalescent, attentive guards and rescuers to environment and human safety as well as reliable movers in all kinds of logistics scenarios. The second part of this work analyzes the preconditions and feasibilities to realize the robot manufacturing mode. The detailed expoundation and data collection drives to the conclusion that the robot technology condition has been ready. Robots applications have advantage on cost comparative with labor force. Besides that, the usage of large quantities of robot has no influence on the unemployment rate. The third part focuses on the Chinese robot industry which has more than five hundred industry clusters engaged in R&D, manufacturing, robot engineering applications and components supporting. In the stock market, there are more than forty companies in the high-tech sector with robot concept. The fourth part gives a prospect of the robot's future. Robot is the core element of Industry 4.0 that gives the orientation of realizing digital or unmanned factories through integration of industrial internet. Furthermore, on the base of cloud computing, internet of things, and big data, convergence of service robot and internet plus may come to be true, and that will greatly extend robots'abilities. Finally a summary was given in the last part.
