I. Overview of the Global Robotics Market

Over the past decade, the global robotics industry has experienced robust growth, particularly with the participation of Asian countries led by China. According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) in its "World Robotics Report 2023," the number of newly deployed industrial robots in factories worldwide reached 553,100 units in 2023, with 73% of this increase occurring in Asia. Among them, Japan remains the largest manufacturer of industrial robots, accounting for 46% of global production. Meanwhile, China continues to grow at an annual rate exceeding 10%, solidifying its position as the largest market globally (with Japan second and South Korea fourth).

The achievements of China's industrial robotics sector are further evidenced by surpassing a domestic production rate of 50% for the first time in 2023, alongside record export figures of 118,300 units (compared to imports of 82,400 units that same year). This indicates that the core components of Chinese industrial robots have been validated at a scale, and manufacturing capabilities are progressively being exported worldwide.

Additionally, robotic technology is expanding beyond industrial applications into commercial, household, medical, specialty, and other fields, giving rise to a diverse range of robot types. Within these categories, Asian robots hold a significant presence. For instance, according to statistics from Sullivan Consulting, the top five commercial service robot manufacturers in 2023 were all from China, collectively accounting for over 50% of global revenue.

In fact, the application of robotics is just beginning, with numerous opportunities for defining and developing new categories of robots (humanoid, androids, X, etc.). The advancement of artificial intelligence has transformed the development approach for robots from offline programming to machine learning, significantly reducing the overall costs associated with secondary development and implementation for specific scenarios. This will undoubtedly accelerate the expansion of robotics applications and industry boundaries. It could be argued that with artificial intelligence entering the physical realm (embodied intelligence), all products based on it can be considered generalized robots...

With ongoing development and manufacturing, the future holds great promise!

II. Asian Robotics Development and Manufacturing Conference & Exhibition

Against this backdrop, leveraging the foundation and advantages of the Asian robotics industry, particularly that of China, the " Asian Robotics Development and Manufacturing Conference & Exhibition" has emerged in response to the times. This event aims to create an opportunity for suppliers within the robotics ecosystem and those capable of entering the robotics supply chain to meet with domestic and international robotics manufacturers, both hardware and software engineers, as well as relevant technical personnel at potential robotics application sites. By constructing an integrated platform that combines academic conferences, technical salons, community activities, development competitions, and professional exhibitions, the event seeks to facilitate exchange and collaboration, driven by scenario-based needs, to reduce the costs of robotics development and manufacturing, and to effectively enhance the overall capabilities and resources of the robotics industry.

The expected benefits of this event are as follows:

A. Facilitating in-depth dialogue among upstream and downstream enterprises within the industry chain, enabling them to jointly discover business opportunities and collaborate on development.

B. Promoting the integration and development of two cutting-edge technologies, artificial intelligence and robotics.

C. Advancing the capabilities of China's and Asia’s robotics industry in development, support, and intelligent manufacturing on the global stage.

D. Establishing a landmark event for all technical personnel within the robotics-related industries.
