Zhao Jia, Director of the Equipment Division of Tianjin Industry and Information Technology Bureau, and Zhou Ming, a researcher from the High-tech Division of Tianjin Science and Technology Bureau, affirmed the contributions of the three organizations in the development of Tianjin's robot industry from the government level, and interpreted the government's support policies. The robot industry grew by 91.7 in November, with a cumulative growth rate of 7.5; service robots grew by 500, with a cumulative growth rate of 240. The robot industry has a strong momentum of development. Tianjin’s robotics industry brings together leading companies such as Syntec Robotics, DeepBlue Technology, Chenxing Automation, Langyu Technology, and Yangtian Robotics. This year, their annual revenue growth rate has exceeded 10%, demonstrating strong growth momentum. In niche sectors such as unmanned aerial vehicles, industrial robots, and underwater robots, agglomeration advantages have taken shape, making these areas key priorities for our city’s development. It is hoped that during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the robotics industry will play an even greater role in driving the development of the high-end manufacturing sector.
