The national output of industrial robots jumped 51.5 per cent year on year to 71,547 units last month, according to the latest data released by the National Bureau of Statistics on Monday. The growth outpaced the 16.7 per cent increase seen in March and the 27 per cent growth recorded in the January-February period.
In the first four months of the year, total output reached 221,206 units, marking a 34.1 per cent increase compared to the same period last year, when growth was 9.9 per cent.
The rapid expansion of China’s industrial robotics sector comes as a long list of robotics manufacturers push to integrate humanoid robots and other automation machines into factory environments.
