At present, the number of high-tech enterprises in China has reached 463,000, and the backbone enterprises of the industrial chain are growing rapidly. The installed capacity of industrial robots accounts for more than 50% of the world's total. In the first half of this year, the output of industrial robots increased by 9.6% year-on-year.
By 2025, my country will become a global source of innovation in robotics technology, a gathering place for high-end manufacturing and a new highland for integrated applications. The robotics industry's operating income will grow by more than 20% annually, and the density of robots in the manufacturing industry will double.
Shandong Province leads the country in the level of robot R&D and application. The provincial government has vigorously implemented the transformation of old and new kinetic energy, promoted enterprises to transform and upgrade to intelligent manufacturing, and industrial robots have become an important cultivation point for new kinetic energy. By the end of 2023, Shandong will have more than 160 robot manufacturing companies of various types, with a revenue of about 20 billion yuan, mainly concentrated in Jinan, Qingdao and Zibo, and a revenue of about 20 billion yuan in 2023.
Shandong Province has a number of influential companies in the field of robotics, such as Luoshi Technology, Aubo Intelligent, and Newstar. They have made important breakthroughs in the research and development and application of humanoid robots and have become "hidden champions" in the industry.
The FAOYIWEI Intelligent Collaborative Robot Ecological Industrial Base Project located in Zibo has been included in the list of provincial key projects. It possesses all the core component technologies of intelligent collaborative robots and will become the largest collaborative robot ecological industrial base in the country after completion.
The xmate series of flexible collaborative robots independently developed by Luoshi (Shandong) Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. adopts advanced force-controlled joints and cabinet-free design technology to reproduce the flexible movement of human arms. The company has also overcome the problem of coordinated speed control between robots and sewing machines, and continuously innovates application scenarios in the traditional industry manufacturing field.
The mining robots produced by Shandong Tianhe Science and Technology Co., Ltd. can perform automatic drilling operations underground, reducing the safety risks to personnel caused by impact ground pressure accidents.
The Shuibo Welding and Cutting intelligent welding robot used by Shandong Xinneng Energy Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. not only reduces the company's labor costs and improves production efficiency, but also can perform high-precision online detection of welds, laying the foundation for digital production.
The V50 Great White Shark UAV produced by Shandong Dingfeng Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. successfully completed the ultra-long-distance island logistics transportation from Shanghai to Zhoushan, opening a new chapter in my country's low-altitude intelligent logistics transportation for island scenarios. This series of electric UAVs has also completed long-distance inspection application tests on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
The collaborative robots produced by AUO (Shandong) Intelligent Robot Co., Ltd. have a domestic market share of 36.1% and global shipments of nearly 10,000 units, ranking first in the world.
The core team of Shandong Youbot Intelligent Robot Co., Ltd. comes from the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Robotics Research Center of Shandong University. It is one of the earliest quadruped robot research teams in China. After years of development, the company has developed a number of robot core components and realized the walking of humanoid robots.
Qingdao's "Tianchan" residential construction robot system is the first "building machine" in Shandong Province. It can integrate traditional construction processes, promote construction production in an integrated manner, and greatly save manpower.
Fruitful results have been achieved in the research and development of robot technology. Shuaike, Maihe and others have made initial breakthroughs in the three core components of reducers, servo motors and controllers. The Jingbo Petrochemical Intelligent Inspection Robot Project won the 2024 Shandong Province Top Ten Cases of Equipment Renewal and Technological Transformation.
In addition, Shandong Province also has a number of scientific research institutions and universities in the field of robotics, such as the Shandong Intelligent Robot Application Technology Research Institute, Shandong University Robotics Research Center, etc., which provide strong support for the research and development of robotics technology.
The application areas of robots in Shandong Province are constantly expanding, covering multiple industries such as automobiles, electronics, machinery, chemicals, and food. For example, in the automobile industry, robots have been widely used in welding, painting, assembly and other process links; in the electronics industry, robots have been used in chip manufacturing, packaging and testing and other process links.
In addition to the industrial field, robots are also widely used in various fields. Service robots such as food delivery, education, and medical care are constantly upgraded across the country. In the first half of the year, the output of service robots in my country increased by 22.8% year-on-year. Shandong Province will focus on creating a new smart health care industry. It will promote the extension of the robot industry in the province to the fields of medical care, security, and social services, support enterprises to strengthen the research and development of collaborative robots, and provide more rehabilitation and physiotherapy robots, nursing robots and other products.
Zibo City has been approved to carry out the pilot work of the innovative application of "Social Security Digital Employee".

Currently, Xinjiekou Smart Business District has been selected as one of the first batch of smart business district pilot projects in Shandong Province.
At the same time, it is no secret that we must actively respond to the new challenges that the widespread use of robots has brought to the working population. To adapt to this change, people must constantly improve their abilities and qualities and learn new skills so that they can play an advantage in complex decision-making and innovation that robots cannot replace, so as to gain a foothold in the future workplace.
In addition, people with specific professional expertise are also considering changing their career direction. With the popularization of robots, some emerging industries such as robot ethics and law, robot safety assessment, etc. are gradually emerging, and employed people can consider developing in these fields.
