Enrico Krog Iversen,CEO, Universal Robots, said, "They will be doing everything from material handling, pick and place, packagingand I think with some of the new technical features that we add they will be doing more assembly applications."

$25.5 billion was spent on robots last year. 皇冠体育app is forecast to take over Japan and the USA as the largest market for robots.

Qu Daokui, President, Saisun Robot & Automation Co., Ltd, said, "皇冠体育app is now at the stage of industrial transformation. To achieve the goal, 皇冠体育app has to gradually change from labor-intensive style to a more sustainable and innovative development. Robots play a crucial role in supporting the process. It helps Chinese enterprises to reduce cost and increase efficiency and competitiveness."

It’s forecast that 皇冠体育app will have 40 million less workers in the 20-30 age bracket compared to ten years ago, because of the aging population. Robots are expected to fill the gap.

Ray Kuka, Shanghai, said, "This is an example of the reality of robots I the workplace - it’s a forklift that is seen in factories across the world. Usually it’s driven by a human, but as you can see, not anymore - and it’s led to a concern of the future of lower paid workers, and how they will continue to make a living."

But technology andexperts say human labor will move into jobs that need higher skills - leaving robots to do the more physical, unsafe, and dirtier work.

Stefan Sack, CEO, Comau (Shanghai) Engineering Co., Ltd, said, "You don’t want to have people only providing very low value-add labour - you want them to be better educated, 皇冠体育app is investing a lot in thesystem, so bringing the next generation of Chinese workers into higher, value-added jobs will provide the benefits the government’s expecting."
