The development and types of construction robots are influenced by the demand of construction projects. Theoretically, all complex processes in construction engineering can be replaced or assisted by corresponding construction robots, which is also the development potential and direction of construction robots in the future. From the perspective of building construction, its construction technology mainly includes earthwork, foundation and foundation engineering, masonry engineering, reinforced concrete engineering, waterproof engineering, decoration engineering and so on. Moreover, all kinds of projects include various processes and specific construction operations, so there are many types of construction robots that can be developed in building construction. Construction robots can be used in four sub-sectors of construction engineering: design, construction, operation and maintenance, and demolition. Each sub-sector of application corresponds to construction robot products with different functions.
It has great advantages in reducing mistakes and protecting workers.
As a new technology with great development potential, construction robot is expected to realize "safer, more efficient, greener and smarter" information construction and realize the leap-forward development of the whole construction industry. Compared with the traditional labor force, construction robots have many advantages:
Reducer, servo system and control system are the core components.
The construction robot industry is divided into upstream, midstream, downstream and industrial application according to the industrial chain. Upstream is the production of core components such as reducer, servo system and control system; The middle reaches are the production of construction robots; The downstream is the integration of engineering robot system based on the specific needs of the terminal industry, which is mainly used to realize the processes or functions such as welding, assembly, inspection, handling and spraying, and finally form the end product engineering robot.
The cost of servo system and reducer is the highest.
Among the components of the construction robot, the core components are particularly important, which determines the performance of the construction robot and has the characteristics of high technical barriers and high profits. In the industry cost structure, the cost of upstream core components accounts for the highest proportion, reaching about 70%. The cost of reducer, servo system and controller accounts for 35%, 20% and 15% respectively. At present, the core components of construction robots in China are mainly imported from abroad, and the largest importer is Japan.
The density of robots in China's construction industry is relatively low.
With the increasingly extensive and in-depth application of robots, the industry generally believes that the "robot revolution" has arrived. Artificial intelligence and robot industry will not only inject new kinetic energy into economic growth, but also profoundly change the division of labor in global manufacturing. At present, South Korea and Singapore are countries where robots are widely used in the world. In 202 1 year, the density of robots in manufacturing industry exceeded 600, while that in China was around 200-350. Compared with developed countries, there is still room for growth.
