The Chinese Academy of Sciences said the new institute aims to aggregate robotics research resources to boost the development of intelligent manufacturing.
Yu Haibin, head of the new institute and also director of the Shenyang Institute of Automation affiliated to CAS, said the new institute will focus on the research of new tech related to national security and deep-sea scientific research, as well as forward-looking robotics that can help boost industrial transformation and upgrading.
“We hope to break through key technologies and create an internationally renowned institute in the field of robotics and intelligent manufacturing,” Yu said.
Shenyang has more than 40 robotics companies, 12 of them established in 2017. The city’s robot industry output reached 9 billion yuan (US$1.3 billion) in 2017, up 28.6 percent year on year.
