Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

Chapter 201 World Robot Conference, Nanshan is going to kick the hall! (Add more~)

The 2002 World Robot Conference is a global robot technology exchange and demonstration event, which was held in Kyoto, Japan from December 23 to 26, 2002.

Hosted by the International Federation of Robotics (IFRC), this event is the largest robot conference in the history of Japan.

"Mr. Cao, the theme of this conference is 'Robots and Humans Live Together', which aims to promote the application and development of robotics and promote the harmonious coexistence of humans and robots."

"Hundreds of robot manufacturers, research institutes and universities from all over the world will participate in the conference and showcase their latest robotic technologies and research results."

"It is expected that a series of innovative robot technologies and products will be displayed at the conference, including automatic car production lines, robots capable of interacting with people, robots applied in various fields, etc. In addition, the conference will also set up a number of professional forums , attracting a large number of experts and scholars in the field of robotics from all over the world to come to communicate and discuss."

"In general, I think the 2002 World Robot Conference is a very important robot technology exchange and display event, which provides a platform for robot researchers and manufacturers from all over the world to display and communicate, and promotes the rapid development of robot technology and applications."

"We chose to come to Dongying to participate in the World Robot Conference. When the time comes, it will become a blockbuster, and the effect will be as good as kicking the gymnasium."

Li Shigui was quite excited.

He is very much looking forward to the conference which officially starts tomorrow.

This is the official debut of Nanshan Robotics on the international stage, and it is still in Japan, which is the most developed robot industry in the world.

You know, Dongying is called the "Kingdom of Robots".

Since the concept of industrial robots was introduced to Dongying in 1960, and robots and related technologies were introduced from the United States in 1968, Dongying has started the road of independent research and development and production of robots.

In 1980, Dongying developed the world's first scara robot.

After 22 years of development, Dongying has produced world-renowned brands such as FANUC, Yaskawa, Kawasaki, OTC, Panasonic, and Fujikoshi in the field of industrial robots.

If Nanshan Robot wants to gain a reputation in the international market, it is impossible not to compete with these Japanese manufacturers.

Although in China, Nanshan has achieved certain results in the field of welding robots.

Relying on the advantage of high cost performance, manufacturers such as FANUC have thrown away their armor.

That's because people haven't paid enough attention to the Chinese market.

With China's accession to the WTO, the pace of globalization will accelerate and import tariffs will drop.

These robot giants abroad will also start to invest and build factories in China.

In this way, the cost of robots can naturally be greatly reduced.

At that time, it is obviously unrealistic for Nanshan Robot to want to dominate one side.

There are many usage scenarios of industrial robots.

They are used in various applications such as resin molding, arc welding, spot welding, spraying, loading and unloading, general assembly, electronic components, car bodies, import and export, material handling, LCD FPD use, and semiconductor use.

It is impossible for Nanshan to cover all fields.

"Have you found out what new products those competitors are planning to launch at the exhibition?"

Cao Yang is naturally very aware of the importance of the World Robot Conference.

Robot World Cup, International Conference on Robotics (ICRA), International Conference on Robot Manufacturing (ICRM), World Conference on Robotics (WFR).

These conferences are the most important academic conferences and exhibitions in the field of robotics, attracting the participation of experts, scholars and entrepreneurs from all over the world.

Among them, the World Robot Conference is the most concerned one.

"Because there will be a large number of media participating in the exhibition tomorrow, everyone hopes to release the important news tomorrow."

"So until now, we don't know a lot of information."

"But what is certain is that this time the World Robot Conference, almost all the robot companies in the industry participated in the exhibition."

"Many experts and scholars in the academic circle who study robots also attended."

"Tomorrow afternoon, there will be a lecture by Professor Ichiro Kato, the 'father of humanoid robots' from the famous Waseda University in Japan."

Li Shigui is now the deputy director of the Nanshan Robot Division, so he has a deep understanding of the robot circle.

In this regard, Cao Yang is naturally not as familiar with him.

"Ichiro Kato?"

Cao Yang couldn't help thinking of Mr. Kato in the 100G educational film.

However, it is clear that this Kato is not that Kato.

"Yes, he was born in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan in 1931. He graduated from the Mechanical Engineering Department of the Faculty of Engineering, University of Tokyo in 1956, and received a master's degree in Robotics from the Graduate School of Engineering, Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1959."

"He invented the world's first programmable robot - ROBOLAB O1 in 1964, and the world's first humanoid robot - HRP-2 in 1971. His research and inventions are in robotics, Human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence and other fields have had an important impact."

"Ichiro Kato's outstanding achievements and contributions in the field of robotics have won him many honors and awards, including the Media Art Festival Award of the Japan Agency for Cultural Affairs, the Japan Industry Award, and the IEEE Robotics and Automation Award."

"It can be said that he is the Taishan Beidou of the Japanese robot circle, and the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Japanese robot circle."

"Whether it's FANUC, Yaskawa, or Kawasaki, many of the experts are disciples and grandchildren of Ichiro Kato!"

When Li Shigui said this, Cao Yang immediately had an impression.

Emotions are the "students" of the Japanese robotics circle.

Then go to listen to his speech tomorrow.

I just don’t know if I’m old enough to say something new.

"After our Nanshan robot becomes famous, you can also hold special lectures here like Ichiro Kato in the future."

"Let everyone see how powerful Nanshan is."

When Cao Yang said this, his face was full of confidence.

However, Li Shigui felt that it might not be that easy.

Of course, he certainly wouldn't say it directly.

After visiting the exhibition hall, Cao Yang was free to move around under the leadership of Mi Ying.

Cao Yang doesn't speak Japanese.

To be precise, except for "行く行く", "やめて", "Red Deer" and "気持ちいい", basically they don't understand.

At this time, it is natural to play the role of the little secretary.

"Kyoto is indisputably beautiful no matter what season it is. Arashiyama in spring is dyed pink by cherry blossoms, women in bright yukata gather at the corner of Gion Street in summer night, the maple trees in Tofukuji Temple are red in autumn, and in winter The Kinkakuji Temple is sunny after the snow."

"Among them, Kyoto is known for its many historic landmarks."

"There are famous Buddhist temples and beautiful gardens, solemn and sacred shrines and palaces, as well as simple traditional Japanese wooden houses, also called machiya."

"Every season when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and autumn is full of red leaves, the beautiful Kyoto is always full of tourists."

“In addition to historical sites, Kyoto’s traditional Japanese cuisine—kaiseki cuisine is also very famous.”

"The kaiseki restaurant we are entering now is said to have a history of more than a hundred years. You will have to spend money when we meet Mr. Cao."

Mi Ying obviously did a lot of preparatory work.

Naturally, she had to arrange for such a good opportunity to eat, drink and play with public funds.

"You speak Japanese very well, and you seem to be quite familiar with the situation in Japan. Have you been here before?"

Cao Yang's understanding of the little secretary is really not that special.

Taking this opportunity, just relax and have a good chat.

"I traveled to Dongying once when I was a sophomore, and I came here to exchange and study for a month when I was a junior."

"So it can be regarded as understanding, but it can't be said how deep it is."

When Mi Ying said this, Cao Yang couldn't help asking: "What do your parents do?"

Being able to travel abroad in this era is obviously not something that ordinary families can support.

To know a plane ticket from Yangcheng to Dongying is enough for many people to work for several months.

Not to mention that the accommodation and transportation in Dongying are very expensive. In 2002, or earlier, the average Chinese family could not hold it.

"My parents are fishermen."

Mi Ying doesn't seem to be particularly willing to talk about this topic.

However, Cao Yang was obviously dissatisfied with this answer.

"When did Chinese fishermen become so rich?" Cao Yang thought of a college classmate's self-introduction, and said, "I used to have a classmate from the northern prairie who said his family was a herdsman. Not good, everyone wants to take care of him."

"It turned out that when I was a sophomore, I found out that this guy's family has more than 10,000 sheep, more than 1,000 cows, and hundreds of horses."

"Uncle and aunt don't have several fishing boats?"

Mi Ying, who was flipping through the menu, was stunned for a moment, and said half-jokingly: "Mr. Cao, you sent someone to investigate me, didn't you?"

"I have signed various non-disclosure agreements, and I am definitely not a commercial spy."

"Investigate you? Why am I investigating you?"

Cao Yang spread his arms and looked at Mi Ying innocently.

"Then how do you know how many fleets my parents have?"

Cao Yang: ...

Guessing how many fishing boats your family has is already quite bold.

result……

How many fleets?

There are several fleets at home, what are you doing as a secretary?

Experience the suffering of the world?

"Xiaomi, you didn't work for a year or so, and you were called back to inherit the family business, right?"

Cao Yang said half-jokingly.

He felt that this possibility was really not impossible.

If this is the case, then his secretary needs to reconsider.

After all, if the secretary is changed frequently, it will be very detrimental to his work.

"In Chaoshan, it is not our daughter's turn to inherit the family business, and even married daughters cannot return to their natal family at the age of thirty."

"I still have a younger sister and younger brother in my family. In the future, my younger brother will definitely inherit the family business."

Mi Ying said something complaining, but her expression showed no dissatisfaction.

It seems that she should be favored at home.

Otherwise, she would have become a jerk.

"Mr. Cao, many Dongying people believe that to taste the real traditional Japanese delicacies, the only way to be authentic is to go to an old restaurant in Kyoto, drink tea and enjoy kaiseki cuisine while viewing the beautiful courtyard."

"This time the World Robot Conference is held in Kyoto, so we can have a good taste of authentic Japanese cuisine."

"However, each of their dishes is made after we order it. It may take some time."

Obviously, Mi Ying didn't particularly like discussing her family's affairs, so she quickly changed the topic to eating.

Don't look at her tall and thin, but she is a foodie.

The most enviable thing is that she eats a lot, but she doesn't gain much flesh.

Of course, Cao Yang felt a little regretful that Mi Ying didn't even grow much flesh where she should have grown.

Although she is not a rich woman with her own airport, she can definitely hold her hand.

"Anyway, I don't have anything else to do today, just eat here slowly and feel the Japanese culture."

"Our opponents of Nanshan Robotics are basically Dongying companies. In the future, the parts business will definitely compete with Dongying's Denso, Hitachi and other companies. Learn more about Dongying's culture, and we can deal with them better in the future."

Cao Yang made some nonsense casually.

With a beautiful girl to eat food with, naturally I am not afraid that the food will be served too slowly.

However, Cao Yang can enjoy kaiseki cuisine leisurely here, but some people are different.

"Tanaka-san, I learned from my colleagues in the Huaxia branch that the Nanshan robot from Huaxia is likely to be the dark horse of this World Robot Conference."

"Although our K-ARM series robot arms can perform various tasks, whether in assembly, handling, welding or spraying, they can meet the requirements, and they are widely used in industries such as automobiles, electronics, and medicine."

"However, the parameters of Nanshan robots, especially welding robots, are very exaggerated, and now they have won the approval of many customers in China."

"Tomorrow our exhibition hall will be face to face with Nanshan, and it will be embarrassing if we are compared with them."

Ishikawa Yutake is the head of the sales department of Kawasaki Heavy Industries Robotics Division. After going to the exhibition hall yesterday to see the situation of the exhibition, he was under a lot of pressure.

So tonight, I specially took the R\u0026D director Masao Tanaka out for a drink.

It seems that this way can make their own products surpass Nanshan.

"I also disassembled and compared Nanshan's robot."

"Objectively, some of their parameters are good."

"But after all, they are a new company that only involved robots this year, and they don't understand a lot of know-how."

"Especially in the handling of large objects, there are a lot of things to consider."

"I think Nanshan robots will have limited impact on us in the short term."

Kawasaki Heavy Industries' robots have obvious advantages in handling heavy objects.

On the contrary, in areas where Nanshan is now focusing on attacking, such as welding robots, their performance is not as good as that of FANUC.

"I heard people from FANUC say that Nanshan is a relatively evil company. Let us be more vigilant when we encounter Nanshan."

"The best thing is to find an opportunity to teach Nanshan a lesson."

FANUC has been defeated in the Chinese market.

Naturally, they couldn't say anything good in their mouths.

"Zuoyou is just an enterprise of Huaxia, so don't worry about it."

"Tomorrow, there will be outstanding companies from all over the world participating in the exhibition together. Even if Nanshan's welding robot has very good parameters, it is impossible to stand out."

"I heard that many companies have blockbuster products to launch."

When Masao Tanaka said this, Yutake Ishikawa breathed a sigh of relief.

Hope there is no accident tomorrow.

Fulfilling the promise, the monthly ticket 1000 plus update is coming~~
