The last few years have seen the widespread applications of robots transformed from lab prototypes to being employed in factories, or operating theaters and hotels. According to Morgan Stanley, China’s robot market is expected to reach US$108 billion in 2028, registering an annual compound growth rate of 23 percent. As high-end products, robots are developing quickly in terms of manufacturing, testing and marketing. Although the industry is booming, robots struggle to deal with non-standard scenarios outside their programming, which is a block to development that will need heavy investment to solve. Other issues such as batteries are preventing widespread adoption of robots in households, experts said, as robots are expected to play a key role in the country’s graying society as human-robot collaboration increases.
