When was the first robot developed in China?

1987 12 18 China made the first completely domestic robot.

After the operator gives instructions through the keyboard, the orange robot can rotate and extend its arm freely, and perform arc welding performance on the steel plate quickly and accurately.

This intelligent robot 1 from Ye Gang passed the ministerial appraisal on February 8th, 2006.

Automatic control experts who participated in the appraisal believe that Ye Gang's robot 1 is the first robot made entirely in China. Before this, more than 100 robots were manufactured, and the software and some hardware of the control system were imported from abroad. After four years' efforts, the researchers of Beijing Institute of Iron and Steel have made all the hardware, software and anti-vibration control of this robot localized, and all the functions and technical indicators have reached the level of similar products in the 1980s, filling the technical gap in the control system of industrial robots in China.

Extended data:

China's industrial robot industry has developed rapidly, but there is still a big gap compared with developed countries. China's own brand industrial robots are mainly three-axis and four-axis coordinate robots and planar multi-joint robots, and six-axis multi-joint robots account for less than 6% of the national industrial robot sales.

However, among the industrial robots sold by foreign brands, multi-joint robots account for 62% of the national industrial robot sales, and the products of independent brands are far from meeting the development requirements of various fields of the national economy.
