Electronic components are the hardware foundation for robots to move toward intelligence

In the context of rising labor costs, almost all global manufacturing plants are expanding the scope of use of robots. First, robots can work 24 hours a day, without screaming and complaining, easy to manage; second, the cost is lower than the labor wage, the enterprise can Increase revenue. According to the 2018 World Robot Statistics released by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), the industrial robot density is measured by the density of industrial robots. The global average of 2017 is 85 per 10,000 employees. Robots, which is 15% more than the previous year.
Robots are being used in more and more production scenarios, especially industrial robots in the manufacturing industry. When you place an order in Jingdong, you will get the information of sorting, packing and delivery immediately. Even if you respond in the middle of the night, will you be surprised by the rapid response of these e-commerce platforms? Don't be surprised, this is the logistics robot. Thanks to their hard work, they are working hard 24 hours a day, taking orders, sorting and shipping at any time, so that users can receive the goods as soon as possible.

As the robots become more and more intelligent, Haidilao has invested 150 million yuan to build an unmanned restaurant. From ordering to serving, and subsequent cleaning, the robots are being executed. Once they are launched, they have earned the attention of the public. Not only can it be precise, stable, and smooth, but it can also keep an eye on the freshness and inventory of the dishes.

In addition, the Ali Unmanned Hotel officially opened, the whole building does not have a waiter, but it is safer, cleaner and more comfortable than any hotel. The robot "Matsuhito" is one of the candidates and has become the next mayor of Tama City, Japan. The popular candidate; the Italian robot pianist played the piano live, and Lang Lang exclaimed after listening: "The robot Teo speed exceeds humanity, the rhythm is accurate!"

At present, no matter how powerful the robot is composed of heavier hardware, in order to realize various control functions, the robot needs more sophisticated electronic components. In the interview with ROHM, the Minister of Industrial Equipment Strategy, Shanglin Zhongshi said, “In the field of robotics, ROHM already has a small IPM adoption case. In combination with customer demand, ROHM plays as a comprehensive semiconductor. The advantages of the manufacturer can provide a rich product lineup from IC to discrete components. Since its inception, ROHM has been adhering to the "quality first" corporate philosophy, from product development to manufacturing, and established a one-stop production system within the group. Therefore, it is possible to provide high-quality and high-reliability ICs and discrete component products for a wide range of fields including industrial equipment. In the field of robotics, quality and reliability are equally important, and we believe that we can play our own advantages. ”

At present, hardware manufacturers and software vendors face enormous technical challenges in the development of robots. Shanglin Zhongshi is positioned as a semiconductor that develops, manufactures and sells peripheral components (analog ICs, discrete components, modules). Manufacturer. He pointed out that "in terms of IoT and AI, smart CPUs and GPUs lead the industry. These manufacturers do not compete with Roma, and their respective market segments are different. On the other hand, we believe that by better with these manufacturers. Cooperation can drive the peripheral components of the peripheral hardware to perform organically."

At present, most of the manufacturers that develop and manufacture robots are concentrated in Japan and Europe and the United States, and Roma has already cooperated with these manufacturers. At the same time, Roma has also cooperated with several major domestic factories in China. In the near future, it will usher in the era of pure domestic robots supporting China's domestic consumption, and more opportunities for cooperation with domestic manufacturers.

The industry has been hotly debated. In the future, robots will grab human jobs. Will robots really replace human beings? On the analysis of Shanglin Zhongshi, “People think that robots can be replaced only by 'daily work.' AI is to use past data. To predict the future in the near future, it is impossible to create the future like human beings, but it is conceivable that people who are engaged in simple labor will face
unemployment in the future."
