Description
The data is published by the China Robot Industry Alliance (CRIA). This indicator measures the diversity and scope of applications of domestically produced industrial robots across various sub-sectors of the national economy. It is used to assess China's progress in technological advancements and industrial automation. A higher number indicates a broader range of applications and potentially a higher degree of technological integration.
Broadly speaking, an industrial robot is an automatically controlled, reprogrammable, and multifunctional manipulator or multi-joint robot used in production activities. It can perform various tasks in industrial automation, either in a fixed position or with mobility.
This indicator is calculated by counting the number of different sub-sectors of the national economy where domestically produced industrial robots are applied. The data is sourced from surveys and reports from various industrial sectors.
This data is typically updated annually, reflecting changes and progress in the application of industrial robots across different economic sectors.
