Collaboration will ensure exciting future

That should include creating more agreements to help Chinese companies improve their levels of technology, technical education, brand building and marketing.

As China's robot market is still relatively immature, it needs both local and international companies to cultivate the market together, and also deepen their cooperation in its regulation. Independent industry bodies should work more closely together, too.

A good example of this came in April, when the China Robot Industry Alliance joined forces with the International Federation of Robotics on agreements with associations from other countries and regions such as South Korea and Taiwan.

The alliance now has more than 140 corporate members, and such associations should set up platforms for member companies and industry peers to communicate better with each other.

They should monitor industry changes and carry out statistical studies.

They should also be working to create industry standards and regulations that member companies can adhere to, so the market can grow in an orderly manner.

It is vital for the industry to create innovation and technology exchange platforms, so their latest products and applications can be shared and viewed internationally. This would help Chinese companies develop overseas links and learn from each other.

Problems that occur could be discussed and industry developments highlighted, so companies could better understand local issues and act appropriately to solve them, working alongside related government departments.

With this overall united approach to the industry, with domestic and international companies, and industry organizations working together, China's, and the world's, robotics market can look forward to a prosperous and exciting future.
