What's happening in International Strategic Investment?
Answer :
In 2016, global institutions and governments have invested a total of US$71 billion in R&D and manufacturing of robotics. The future global spending on robotic is expected to grow from US$71 billion in 2016 to US$1,354 billion in 2019. In 2016, Asia-Pacific region (including Japan) in the robot-related investment accounted for 65%, followed by the Central and Eastern Europe. America comes to number 3.
Japan, South Korea, Germany, the United States and other high-tech development countries take robotic development as key research projects. For instance, (i) Google’s large-scale acquisition of technology companies in R&D robot is very aggressive. I believe the future trend will be more resources invested to develop new industries. (ii) Each year the Japanese government approved about US$2.6 million as research capital for Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro of University of Tokyo, Japan to study robotic technology. Researches who developed human robot can be divided into two types: armor shell and human skin. Currently, Japan is focusing on human-like robots while other countries concentrate on metal shaped robots.
The Russian billionaire founder of robot project "2045 Future World" (http://2045.com) believed that human mind and soul can be transferred to the robot drive on the shell. So, in year 2015, the Russian held a high-tech robot exhibition in New York. It invited many robot scientists for presentations and drew big international attention.
Robotics technology began around 10 years ago. According to IDC's (International Data Corporation) newly published Global Commercial Robot Spending Guidelines, "Robot is one that will transform future production technology. More and more robots enter various fields, such as electronics, healthcare, retail, health care, logistics, agriculture, services, education, and even government departments". Therefore, we must devote developing robotic technology before we are left behind.
Product Life Cycle of Robot
Robot development projects, is like the Wright brothers invented aircraft in 1867 or Karl Friedrich Benz invented car. Today, their inventions still affect our society. Similarly, robot development will have a long life cycle, which cannot be easily substituted. The key to master new industries in the future is to develop robotic technology as early as possible.
Robot combined with intelligent Software Application
Artificial intelligence software development has been around for sometime. Therefore, there is very limited room for starters to get into this area. In addition, the risk of replication is quite high. Apps for robot is still inthe early stage of development. If we are successful in integrating robotic apps with internet technology, we can change the world and people's lifestyle for the next 100 years!
What's the application of the robot in the future?
Answer :
1. Nursing Assistant
In hospital, it assists doctors and nurses for surgery. Using remote monitoring in medical ward, the robot can help to avoid spread of infection and 24 hour care for patients. While the patient is in isolation, the robot can calm and reduce their loneliness feeling.
2. Home Care
At home to perform daily household chores, care for the elders, pets, teach children, monitor home safety with face recognition. Also, it can communicate with the users anytime.
3. Entertainment Market
For the entertainment field, if obtain the portrait copyright of celebrities or movie stars which can replicate the face to Mark 1, it can be used for promotional events.
Robots with beautiful body shape havegreat market potential in sales and marketing.
4. Rental and authorized service
Through this service, we can work with the government to promote innovation and technology. Mark 1 can be installed for large-scale exhibitions, tourist hot spots and displayed in shopping malls or department stores. This will draw people’s attention and increase traffic. Publicize to the public know that the government is promoting and suporting high-tech field.
5. Virtual Reality (VR)
Through VR technologies in robot applications, suitable for all ages and people around the world for commercial work, travel, explore the field or Space journey. Therefore, the world can be authorized to establish a rental service fee.
Other Development Goals and Purposes
Fashion: A breakthrough in the past fashion display, Mark 1 can be a fashion model when it's put on a celebrity or movie star's face.
Service: In shopping malls, it performs as a receptionist.
Tourism: Place celebrity look alike robots at tourist attraction spots.
