On December 15th, recently, the emerging French robotics startup Exotec Solutions ("Exotec") launched a new industrial robot Skypod. It is reported that the Skypod robot is hailed as the "best robot" in the world, because Skypod is 4-5 times higher than the industry standard. What are the important contents of today's robot industry worthy of attention? Let ’s take a look at the details below.

Tokyo Olympics will let robots carry luggage to airport passengers

According to reports, although there are still several years to go before the Tokyo Olympics, there is one thing that you don't need to worry about if you are planning to travel to Tokyo to watch the 2020 games-moving heavy luggage. Recently, a Tokyo official confirmed that they will launch robots at the airport during the 2020 Olympics that can provide translations, answer travel-related questions and luggage handling services.

It is understood that tourists will be able to talk to the robot, which can speak four languages, and the small screen installed on the robot's chest will allow visitors to see relevant answers. To make up for the shortage of staff, Japanese officials hope to help them solve the problem with robots.

In the first ten months of 2017, China's industrial robot output exceeded 100,000 for the first time

Luo Junjie, deputy director of the Equipment Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said at the 2nd International Robot Inspection and Certification Summit held here on the 13th that in the first 10 months of this year, China ’s industrial robot output exceeded 100,000 for the first time, an increase of nearly 70% year-on-year Production is expected to exceed 120,000 units for the first time.

In recent years, the robot industry has become the focus of competition in a new round of industrial transformation. "Made in China 2025" has explicitly listed robots as key development areas. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has approved the establishment of a national robotics innovation center. China's robotics industry will accelerate the independent research and development of core technologies, break through key technologies of core components in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and move towards mid-to-high end.
