Thinking of the Development Strategy of Robots in China

doi:10.3901/JME.2016.07.001

Abstract

Abstract: The intelligence and autonomous capability of robots at this stage is still very weak, and the primary development goal is to enhance the operational capacity, improve the ability of man-machine interaction, and upgrade the safety performance by solving the bottleneck issues containing man-machine interaction, cooperation and integration, and grasping the technologies including sensing of three-dimensional environment, planning and navigation, human-like dexterous operation, intuitive man-machine interaction, and safe robot behavior. Following development strategies are recommended ① strengthen the research of design theory and method of industrial robots, and seek new ideas to break through the bottlenecks of core infrastructure components including precise reducer, controller, servo system, and high performance driver in order to enhance robot operational flexibility and online sensing capability; ② strengthen the service robotics research to improve robot's understanding of human behavior and abstract instructions as well as man-machine communicated and coordinated and cooperation ability in order to build a robot security mechanism; ③ carry out the research of special robots for the tasks in dangerous or even inaccessible areas, such as nuclear radiation, military battlefield, and natural or man-made disasters to solve the issues of online real-time interaction and autonomous manipulation in dynamic unknown environment and to enable the man-machine cooperation located in the same space/environment. The scientific theories and key technologies are necessary to support the development of modern robots needed by the country.

Key words: development strategy, robot, scientific issues, thinking
