But local enterprises are already accelerating steps to boost their capability in research and development as well as small-scale production of key robot components. Shaanxi Qinchuan Machinery Development Co Ltd, for instance, has poured 194 million yuan in 2013 into a robot speed reducer project, which can now produce 500 to 700 units per month.
"We are working on a mass production assembly line project. When completed, it will boost monthly production capacity to 5,000 units by the end of 2016," the company said in a press release in November.
Siasun also expanded its presence in the niche by setting up a unit in May 2015.
