As the base of Xi'an artificial intelligence and robot industry, Xi'an Economic Development Zone has issued a special policy to support the robot industry in an all-round way, accelerating the deployment of artificial intelligence and the robotics industry. It is estimated that by 2021, the output value of robot-related industries will exceed 100 billion yuan.
At the Xi'an Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Industry Base in Xi'an Economic Development Zone, a medical companion smart robot device controlled by brainwaves was successfully developed. By wearing professional equipment, employees can control the machine to complete corresponding actions through 'mind'. In the first half of this year, the Institute has successfully developed ten robots. At the beginning of the settlement, the Economic Development Zone took the initiative to solve problems such as capital and office space, greatly increased the enthusiasm of R&D personnel, and shortened the product development cycle accordingly.
Wang Haitao, an engineer at the Institute of Intelligent Robot Innovation of Xi'an Jiaotong University: '(Kaikai District) provided us with 10 million support funds in the early stage, including 3.5 million operating expenses, and 6.5 million is the cost of 10 prototypes. The office space is free of rent for three years. Into the office space, it has solved many worries for us. Let us put it into research work as soon as possible.
In addition to funding and office space support, the Economic Development Zone has also helped start-up robot R&D companies to conduct market promotion and financing services, encourage other companies to purchase products from robot manufacturing companies in the region, and provide certain subsidies to help companies explore new markets. Under the guidance of the policy, Datsun Robotics Co., Ltd., which produces unmanned vans, exceeded the total amount in the first half of this year.
According to Guan Dengjin, deputy general manager of Xi'an Dasheng Robot Automation Co., Ltd.: 'It can be said to be a charity, helping us tide over difficulties. With government support, our confidence is even greater. Only last year the company mass-produced and its revenue was only a few million. This year In the first half of the year, our contract amount reached 20 million.
This year, Xi'an Economic Development Zone issued the “Interim Measures for the Promotion of Artificial Intelligence and Robot Industry Development” to provide one-time maximum policy awards of RMB 100 million for the settlement of enterprises, innovative R&D, and financing services. In the next step, we will focus on special robots and services. Robots, industrial robots in the three major areas, from the manufacturing, technology research and development, industrial applications to build the robot industry-wide system. Strive to 2021, Xi'an Economic Development Zone through the robot to achieve a production value of over one hundred billion yuan.
Zhang Xiaodong, deputy director of Xi'an Economic Development Zone Management Committee: 'The robotics industry is a multidisciplinary industry that can stimulate the development of machinery manufacturing, electronic components, and can also drive the development of the information industry. It is a typical industrial chain of eight hard technologies. , It will play a key role in the adjustment of advanced manufacturing and industrial structure in Xi'an.
