With the development of a number of information technologies such as big data and cloud computing, and the development of artificial intelligence, the transformation of manufacturing to intelligence has been accelerated. As the main direction of future manufacturing, smart manufacturing is the commanding height of competing for international technological manufacturing. Industrial robots are the most representative equipment in smart manufacturing with huge market space.

　　 Robot is a prominent representative of contemporary high-end intelligent equipment and high-tech, and is an important indicator to measure a country's manufacturing level and core competitiveness. Robots entering human life are no longer science fiction, and they have become the focus of attention in the field of commercial robots and healthcare.

      It is increasingly prominent that China is demanding the intelligent transformation and upgrading of manufacturing, and the industrial robots are still a big part of the market share. On the demand side, with the rapid rise of labor costs, disappearing of demographic, and production's transformation to flexibility, intelligence and precision, the new manufacturing system with intelligent manufacturing as the fundamental feature is imminent,  therefore, industrial robots is going tobe needed dramatically.

　　 In this regard, experts pointed out that although China has the largest robot market, China's self-produced products only account for a part of total sales, and the core components of these products depend on foreign countries. Besides, the application of our industrial robots is also far lower than that of developed countries. Based on this, some totally unrelated Internet companies are involding this field. 

　　 With the wide application of domestic industrial robots, robots have also begun to be used in the instrumentation industry. Robots can increase productivity by 45% and labor costs by 50%. In the view of instrumentation manufacturers that cite robots here, intelligent production lines not only achieve product value, profit value and brand value, but also have unlimited social and resource values.

       Given that domestic industrial robot market is expected to reach 500,000-600,000 units, and the sales of domestic robots will likely account for 80% of the entire market in the next few years. It can be predicted that the scale of domestic robots' revenues will reach more than 10-billion level and have a strong profitability. Besides, as an important engine power of intelligent manufacturing, robots will accelerate the development of instrumentation intelligence to a certain extent.
