Storyline


A wide variety of industrial and service robots are wowing visitors at the ongoing World Robot Conference (WRC) 2018 in Beijing.

More than 160 Chinese and international robot manufacturers are showcasing their latest robots and applications at the five-day event that started on Wednesday.

A soft robot at the Industrial Robot Hall can skillfully screw in a light bulb and pick up fruit with pinpoint accuracy and strength.

"For example, screwing in a light bulb, if you use a traditional mechanical arm claw, you have to install many sensors to complete the operation. But with this soft robot, it is just a simple movement with a very low cost," said the exhibitor.

Another robot can pick up dozens of red, yellow and blue chocolates, sorting them into corresponding bottles in less than 20 seconds. Across the exhibition hall, a robot named S-MIX can use four basic liquors and six other ingredients to make 20 different kinds of cocktails. The robot may even be quicker than your local bartender as it serves a drink in less than one minute.

According to statistics released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China's robot industry experienced average annual growth of nearly 30 percent over the past five years to reach seven billion U.S. dollars in 2017. The number of industrial robots produced in China in 2017 exceeded 130,000, a 68.1 percent increase over last year.

Visitors to the expo are also impressed by the service robots on display.

A robot named NAO can climb stairs and play golf. It's even competed in four robot World Cup football matches and helped the Chinese team win third place this year.

"The robots are totally self-directed [on the field]. We program their vision, gait and coordination before the match. They can adjust their tactics and arrange their positions according to the characteristics of their opponents on the field by themselves," said a technician.

Other robots on display at the conference can make coffee and write calligraphy.

"We use calligraphy to test the stability of the mechanical arm. It is almost the same as a person's arm and can complete most of the same movements a person's arm can," said another technician.

The total output value of the global robot industry exceeded 25 billion U.S. dollars in 2017, up 20 percent year on year, and is expected to reach 30 billion U.S. dollars in 2018, according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR).
