– The only robot industry expo in Northeast China –
2021 China (Shenyang) International Robot Expo
Fair overview
Fair Features
The 2021 China (Shenyang) International Robot Expo (hereinafter referred to as 'Robot Expo') was held at the Shenyang New World Exhibition Center from October 23 to 25. As the only robot-themed professional fair in the Northeast region, it was first held in 2015 and celebrated its 6th this year. It is held every year around the end of August, but due to the resurgence of Corona 8, it was postponed for the second time from the end of September to the end of October.
With the theme of 'Intelligence creates the future (智能创造未来)', this expo participated in online and offline exhibitions and consultations with 200 products from 800 institutions, associations and companies. In particular, the online/offline convergence model that combines virtual and real exhibitions using the 'CCPIT Cloud Exhibition Platform' effectively supplemented the restrictions on exhibition participation due to Corona.

At the opening ceremony on the morning of October 23, Gaetano Cantalupo, CEO of global robot maker COMAU, China region, Shigeru Koohara, CEO of YASKAWA, Japan, and SIASUN, China’s largest industrial robot company , 新松) and President Qu Daoqi participated as major distinguished guests, and the American Robot Association President Jeff Burnstein and IFR Secretary-General Susanne Bieller sent congratulatory speeches via video to mark the opening of the fair. Congratulations.
Opening Ceremony and Forum
In addition to service robots, underwater robots, cloud robots, and quarantine and patrol disinfection robots, various products such as drones, unmanned vehicles, logistics transport robots, and industrial robots were exhibited. Among them, UnitreeRobotics (杭州宇数科技) introduced a robot dog with a speed of about 10 km/h. The leg joints are flexible and the power is strong, so it is possible to make various leaps and turns in the air. In order to balance the body, sensors attached to each part of the body receive information and retransmit it to the motor, thereby balancing the body and securing movement stability. According to Liu Qingyang of the company's marketing team, robot dogs can solve various difficulties that humans cannot perform by applying them to disaster relief sites such as dangerous environments containing toxic and toxic gases without remote control.
Main exhibition products
Exhibitors gained a lot of popularity as there was a space where participants could directly share in the exhibition booth, such as AR experience, conversation experience with cloud intelligent robot, healthcare robot service experience, and robot barista experience.

In the Korean Pavilion organized by KOTRA, 15 companies including SPG and Daeryu participated in the exhibition or consultation. For Korean companies that were unable to participate in the fair, a separate video consultation center was installed and video consultation was conducted with 10 companies including SHENYANG MACHINE TOOL (GROUP), Harbin Haite Satellite Technology, and Huawei Technologies.
In addition, the Kanagawa Economic and Trade Office in Japan conducted exhibition participation and proxy consultations on behalf of Japanese companies that were unable to participate in the field due to the corona virus.

In addition to companies, local universities and scientific research institutes also actively participated in the exhibition. Dongbei University held the robomaster university artificial intelligence challenge contest, Shenyang University of Agriculture developed smart agricultural robot technology such as intelligent disinfection spray robot and fruit/vegetable collecting robot, and Shenyang University held a small observation type underwater robot and underwater safety inspection. Robotics, explosion-proof safety inspection robot technology, and Shenyang University of Science and Technology exhibited the results of digital cultural creative integration solutions under the theme of VR+.
University research project achievements
implication
The size of the global robot market is continuously expanding. In China, from 2016 to 2021, the robot industry recorded an average annual growth of 11.5%, reaching $100 billion in market size. Among them, the industrial robot market amounted to 144 billion dollars, service robots 9000 billion dollars, and special robots 125 billion dollars.
Applications of the Chinese robot industry are gradually spreading to emerging industries. In the case of industrial robots and solutions, they are gradually shifting from traditional fields such as automobiles, electronics, and food packaging to emerging fields such as new energy batteries, environmental protection facilities, intelligent equipment, and warehouse logistics. accelerating the “replacement” process. According to the segmentation of emerging industries, small and medium-sized robot companies quickly took over the market, and the government actively promoted support projects for “small giants” companies.
In addition, the technology service platform accelerated industrial innovation construction. Technology research achievements Industrial applicability companies actively cooperated with the government and domestic and foreign companies to build a technology sharing and risk sharing platform to improve industrial innovation and entrepreneurship capabilities. Therefore, the convergence development and application speed of intelligent technologies such as 5G and industrial Internet and robots is accelerating. Qu Daokui (曲道奎), president of SIASUN (新松), a leading company in the Chinese robot industry, said that in recent years, the robot industry has rapidly expanded in services, medical care, health, education and safety, etc., and will soon overtake the industrial robot market. predicted.
