I. The Prospects of Robots in China It should be said that China is both the country that most needs and least needs robots. China has a large population and abundant, inexpensive labor resources. From this perspective, hiring a human is cheaper than using an expensive and cumbersome robot. However, if China wants to become a world power, it must do more with less resources. Our enterprises must adopt high technology as much as possible for more efficient production and win with high competitiveness. This requires many robots, as humans do not have the precision, accuracy, and efficiency of robots. Some people may lose their jobs, but more job opportunities will be created, and the benefits to society will be greater. I believe that in the near future, the robotics industry will become a pillar industry of the national economy, just like the automobile industry. The United States is a "nation of automobiles," and China can become a "nation standing on the shoulders of robots." II. Current Status of Industrial Robot Technology and Development Trends at Home and Abroad In recent years, the development of the robotics field abroad has shown the following trends: 1. The performance of industrial robots is constantly improving (high speed, high precision, high reliability, ease of operation and maintenance), while the price per unit is constantly decreasing, with the average price per unit dropping from US$103,000 in 1991 to US$65,000 in 1997. 2. Mechanical structures are evolving towards modularity and reconfigurability. For example, servo motors, reducers, and detection systems are integrated into a single joint module; robots can be constructed by recombining joint and link modules; modular assembly robots are already available on the market abroad. 3. Industrial robot control systems are developing towards PC-based open controllers, facilitating standardization and networking; component integration is increasing, control cabinets are becoming smaller, and modular structures are being adopted; this significantly improves system reliability, ease of operation, and maintainability. 4. Sensors are playing an increasingly important role in robots. In addition to traditional position, velocity, and acceleration sensors, assembly and welding robots also utilize vision and force sensors, while remote-controlled robots employ multi-sensor fusion technology (vision, sound, force, touch, etc.) for environmental modeling and decision-making control; multi-sensor fusion configuration technology has mature applications in commercialized systems. 5. The role of virtual reality technology in robots has evolved from simulation and preview to process control, such as enabling remote-controlled robot operators to feel as if they are in a remote working environment. my country's industrial robot development began in the 1980s with the "Seventh Five-Year Plan" for scientific and technological research. With national support, through the "Seventh Five-Year Plan" and "Eighth Five-Year Plan" for scientific and technological research, China has basically mastered the design and manufacturing technology of robot manipulators, the hardware and software design technology of control systems, and kinematics and trajectory planning technology. It has produced some key robot components and developed robots for painting, arc welding, spot welding, assembly, and material handling. More than 130 sets of painting robots have been deployed on nearly 30 automated painting production lines (stations) in more than 20 enterprises, and arc welding robots have been applied to welding lines in automobile manufacturing plants. However, overall, my country's industrial robot technology and its engineering applications still lag behind those of foreign countries. For example, reliability is lower than foreign products; robot application engineering started later and has a narrower application field; and production line system technology differs from that of foreign countries. In terms of application scale, my country has installed approximately 200 domestically produced industrial robots, accounting for about 0.04% of the global installed number. The main reason for the above is the lack of a developed robotics industry. Currently, robot production in China is largely driven by user requirements, resulting in a "one customer, one redesign" approach. This leads to a wide variety of specifications, small batches, low component standardization, long delivery cycles, and relatively high costs, with unstable quality and reliability. Therefore, there is an urgent need to address key technologies in the early stages of industrialization, conduct comprehensive product planning, and implement serialization, standardization, and modular design to actively promote the industrialization process. III. Overview of Baigra's Robotics Technology 1. Introduction to Linear Guides Linear guides consist of precision aluminum profiles, toothed belts, linear sliding guides, and servo motors. The cross-sectional shape of the precision aluminum profiles, serving as the motion frame and carrier, is optimized using finite element analysis. Meticulous production ensures strength and straightness. Bearing-driven guides and linear sliding guides are used as motion guides. The motion transmission mechanism employs toothed belts, racks, or ball screws. Through years of extensive practical application and continuous improvement across various industries, these guides have achieved world-class performance in terms of reliability, noise reduction, load-bearing capacity, maintenance-free operation, and overall performance. 2. Two-Dimensional Robots: As shown in Figure 2, multi-dimensional robots are combinations of various single linear guideways. We provide pre-assembled complete robots, including grippers and control systems, turnkey robots that work as soon as they are powered on. Alternatively, we can provide only the robot, with the user assembling the other components. IV. Applications of Biogra Coordinate Robots 1. TLS100 Lateral Marking System The TLS100 is a standard configuration provided by Biogra specifically for laser marking systems. With the printhead installed, it forms a marking system. It offers 16 selectable programs, allowing marking at 20 positions at a time, and precise marking in both forward and backward directions. It can accurately mark marking even when the conveyor belt speed changes, and during acceleration and deceleration. It can drive heavier laser marking systems, such as CO2 and YAG light sources. The TLS100 has all the output controls required for a marking system to complete various marking tasks. Multiple printheads can be mounted on a single guideway. The TLS100 system improves existing marking processes; it is non-contact and inkless. All system parameters can be easily input and modified by the user via the operator without programming, and all input and output signals are opto-isolated. It is mainly used in the following industries: packaging, printing, labeling, automation, food, and pharmaceuticals. 2. TMS100 Horizontal Inkjet System: The TMS100 is a standard configuration provided by our company. Adding a printhead constitutes a coding system. It offers 16 programs for customer selection, with a maximum of 20 print dots per cycle, and can print in both forward and backward modes. This system can perform high-speed printing tasks, using both inkjet and laser printing. The TMS100 is the ideal marking system to replace contact inkjet printers as contactless marking systems. All parameters can be input and modified by the user via the operator without programming, and all signals sent to the marking system are opto-isolated. Multiple printheads can be mounted on a single rail. It is mainly used in the following industries: packaging, printing, labeling, automation, food, and pharmaceuticals. V. Hopes and Challenges in Robot Development Robotics technology is a crucial component of high technology. Its industrialization in China is still in its early stages. While some progress has been made, many difficulties and shortcomings remain, thus requiring greater attention and support from various sectors. National policy support is a vital prerequisite for accelerating the industrialization of high-tech industries. Relevant government departments should organize thorough investigations and research to formulate practical and feasible policies to promote the application of robots and facilitate their research and development. For example, supportive policies could be implemented for the robot industry in terms of taxation, investment, and loans. The Japanese government's experience in encouraging robot adoption through policies and measures is worth learning from. Furthermore, subsidies could be considered for robot users to encourage purchases. To avoid workplace accidents and occupational diseases caused by dangerous and harsh working environments and to protect workers' physical and mental safety, the use of industrial robots in certain specialized jobs, such as painting and casting, could be mandated through labor laws. This would significantly increase the demand for industrial robots. The industrialization of robots in China must be driven by the market. As a high technology, the development of robots is closely related to social production and economic conditions. The research and development of robots should prioritize areas of application based on the highest technical feasibility, using these as a breakthrough to penetrate and spread to other fields. The level of public awareness of robotics also significantly hinders the industrialization of the robot industry. Imagine if end-users of robots find them mysterious and keep their distance; how can the robot industry develop? Therefore, the government and relevant enterprises should place great importance on popularizing robotics knowledge. For robots to successfully enter the market and achieve industrialization in my country, concerted efforts from all parties are needed.
