On the 23rd, the five-day “2017 World Robotics Conference” kicked off in Beijing. The conference aims to showcase the latest technological achievements in the field of robotic R&D in the world around the world of robotics research and intelligent social innovation, and at the same time build an international collaborative innovation platform.

On the first day of the opening of the 2017 World Robotics Congress, the Italian robotic pianist Teotranik became the focus of the audience.

Teotranik with 53 fingers can play any score that is imported into the system via software. He participated in an orchestra performance at the Berlin Philharmonic Hall; together with the Sicilian Symphony Orchestra, he performed the Mozart Piano Concerto K488 under the direction of Roberto Janola.

At this World Robotics Conference, robotics that incorporate advanced technology like Teotranik are ubiquitous.

This year's conference is divided into three parts: forum, exhibition and competition. It is a forum, exhibition and competition. It brings together more than 100 domestic and foreign robot top companies, more than 300 experts and business leaders.

At the opening ceremony held on the same day, Miao Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China pointed out that with the accelerated integration of next-generation technologies such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing and artificial intelligence and manufacturing, new technologies, new applications and new models represented by robots are emerging. It has become an important driving force for a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation.

Miao Wei said that the growth rate of China's robot industry in the past five years has basically remained above 20%. The Chinese government attaches great importance to the development of the robot industry. In the promotion of "Made in China 2025" and the development of the robot industry, we will always practice the concept of open development and deepen the mutually beneficial cooperation in the field of robotics. “China has the world's largest demand for the robot market. We welcome the participation of enterprises and institutions from all countries to share development opportunities and jointly contribute to the transformation of the new and old kinetic energy of the global economy and achieve strong and sustainable balanced growth.”

In order to better display related products, this year's Robotics Conference has an exhibition area of about 50,000 square meters, and has set up industrial robots, service robots, special robots, artificial intelligence exhibition areas and international exhibition areas. Leading companies in the global robotics industry have made their debut with "Star" exhibits, such as fake bionic machinery, mechanical jellyfish, "three-headed and six-arm" intelligent collaborative robots, and robots that play the piano. They will show the upstream and downstream of the robot industry industry chain. The latest technology applications in all aspects.

Harbin Institute of Technology Robotics Group is the largest exhibitor at the exhibition. Yin Zheng, the project manager of the group, said that they have brought more than 50 products to the show, especially in the field of featured robot education, which will showcase the domestically advanced industrial robot skill assessment training platform. “This product is certified by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology for industrial robot application engineer training and assessment equipment. This device is characterized by its versatility and can be applied to domestic and international brands. It is mainly used in schools, if the school has robotic equipment, Students can use this device. There are also educational institutions that use this robot for training when training robotics professionals."

During the World Robotics Conference, industry experts and business leaders from China, the United States, Russia, Britain, Germany and other countries will also participate in a series of forums to conduct in-depth dialogue on topics such as robot development opportunities and innovation trends, as well as forecasting industry trends and market trends. Sexual topics are discussed.

Jeff Bernstein, president of the American Robotics Industry Association, said that China has become the world's largest market for robotics applications, and he looks forward to strengthening cooperation between China and the United States in the field of robotics research and development. "The American Robotics Industry Association looks forward to maintaining close contact with all the counterparts in the Chinese robotics field, enhancing win-win cooperation between the two countries and jointly promoting the strong development of the global robot industry."

It is worth noting that the competitions of this year's Robotics Conference include the China UAV Open Finals, BCI Brain Control Robot Contest, and Fighting Robot Contest, attracting more than 900 entries from more than ten countries and regions. Team. From high-tech companies to high school students, the series aims to create a competitive platform for young people around the world to demonstrate their ability to innovate and explore.

Xu Yanyan, who is 10 years old this year, is a student of Beijing Tuqiang. She said that her experience has benefited her. “I was involved in the project of “Master Siege” knocking down the opposite bowling competition. This robot opened my eyes a lot, I didn’t program it to programming from the beginning, and now I know the structure of this robot.”

It is reported that since its inception in 2015, the World Robotics Conference has become the “grand event” of the international robot industry with the largest scale, the highest specification and the richest international elements in the robot field.
