The robot industry is a fast-growing industry in China for a period of time in the future, as one of the country's new strategic industries, robot skills reflect the comprehensive strength of national science and technology.
From 2010 to 2013, the sales of industrial robots in China were 33,500 units, 41,800 units and 52,400 units, while the number of units owned was 121,000 units, 62,800 units and 212,000 units. Combined with new demand and stock demand, the total demand for industrial robots in the next three years is estimated to be 194,100 sets, 239,700 sets and 300,000 sets.
Because robotics skills are a highly integrated skill, it touches on a variety of related skills and disciplines, such as histology, control engineering, computing, artificial intelligence, microelectronics, sensing skills, data science, and bionics. Therefore, the development of robot skills on the one hand drives the development of related skills and disciplines, and on the other hand, it also depends on the development process of these related skills and disciplines. In recent years, with the rapid development of computer skills, microelectronics skills, network skills, etc., industrial robot skills have also been rapidly developed. At present, the development trend of industrial robot skills is mainly manifested in the following aspects:
1. The parallel robot selects the parallel organization, uses the robot skills, and completes the high-precision measurement and processing, which is the broadening of the robot skills to the CNC skills, and lays the foundation for the integration of robots and CNC skills in the future. Companies such as C0MAU in Italy and FANUC in Japan have developed such products.
2. The robot manipulator has a large load/weight ratio, high-speed and high-precision robot manipulator has always been the policy pursued by robot planners, and the robot manipulator has completed the optimization planning after the application of modern planning methods such as finite element simulation analysis and simulation planning. Robot companies represented by KUKA in Germany have changed the parallel quadrilateral structure of the robot to an open-chain structure, broadening the working scope of the robot. Coupled with the use of lightweight aluminum alloy materials, the function of the robot has been greatly improved. In addition, the advanced Rv reducer and communication servo motor are selected, so that the robot manipulator is simply a protection-free system.
3. Sensing systemLaser sensors, visual sensors and force sensors have been widely used in the industrial robot system, and the use of laser sensors and visual sensors for active tracking of welds and active positioning of objects on the automatic production line has been completed, and the use of visual systems and force sensing systems for fine assembly operations, etc., has greatly improved the operation function and adaptability of the robot to the environment. Companies such as FANUC in Japan, ABB in Sweden, kuka Robotics in Germany, and REIS have all launched such products.
4. The function of the control system has been further improved, and it has been developed from the six-axis robot that used to control the standard of control to the robot that can control 21 to 27 axes to complete the co-withering movement of the multi-robot system and peripheral equipment, and complete the software servo and full digital control. In this field, the Japanese YASKAWA and the Germany KUKA company are in the first place. In terms of human-machine interface, the large screen and menu method are used to make it easier to operate, and the interface based on graphical operation has also been developed. The programming method is still mainly based on teach-in programming, but offline programming has been put into practice in some areas.
5. Network communication function The new robot manipulator of YASKAWA Japan and KUKA company of Germany has completed the connection with Cimbus, Profibus bus and some networks, so that the robot has taken a big step from the independent use of the past to the network use, and also made the robot from the special equipment of the past to the standardized equipment.

Obstacle avoidance control of the manipulator – KUKA robots
The kinematic redundancy of freedom of the manipulator means that the manipulator has more degrees of freedom than is required at the end of the manipulator. Kinematic manipulators with redundant degrees of freedom have better functions than manipulators with non-redundant degrees of freedom. For example, a manipulator with non-redundant degrees of freedom has obstacles in the external environment.
