In today's era of rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, the application of industrial robots such as AGV cars and robotic arms has penetrated into all aspects of manufacturing; Industrial robots exist in stamping, die casting, forging, machining, welding, heat treatment, surface coating, loading and unloading, assembly, transportation, inspection and warehouse stacking.

Compared with manual work, industrial robots have the characteristics of high working efficiency and high manufacturing accuracy. With the rising labor costs of enterprises, industrial robots help enterprises to optimize production and improve product quality, while reducing operating costs and improving profits. Such as AGV trolley instead of manual trailer.

The development trend of industrial robots in the future is as follows:

(1) industrial robots and information technology are deeply integrated.

Big data and cloud storage technology make industrial robots such as AGV and robotic arm gradually become the terminals and nodes of the Internet of Things. With the rapid development of information technology, industrial robots such as AGV and manipulator are integrated with the network to form a complex production system. Various algorithms, such as ant colony algorithm and immune algorithm, can be gradually applied to industrial robots, making them have human-like learning ability. Collaborative technology of multiple robots makes a set of production solutions possible.

(2) The usability and stability of industrial robot products are improved.

With the improvement of standardized structure, integrated joints, self-assembly and self-repair of industrial robots such as AGV and mechanical arm, the usability and stability of industrial robots are constantly improved.

On the one hand, the application fields of industrial robots, such as AGV and robotic arm, have been extended from mature automobile and electronics industries to more extensive manufacturing fields, such as food, chemicals, etc., and the service fields and service objects are increasing, and the industrial robots are developing towards the characteristics of small size and wide application.

On the one hand, the cost of industrial robots such as AGV and mechanical arm has dropped rapidly. And the price gap between the initial investment of the robot and the traditional special equipment is narrowed, so it has higher economic efficiency to replace the traditional special equipment in the production of products with high degree of personalization and complicated technology and flow.

(3) profound changes have taken place in the man-machine relationship

When workers and robots accomplish their goals together, industrial robots can understand human language, graphics and body instructions through simple induction, and use their modular plugs and production components to avoid complicated operations for workers. At present, there is a big safety problem in human-machine cooperation. Although light industrial robots with vision and advanced sensors have been developed, there is still a lack of reliable and safe technical specifications for industrial robot cooperation.
