Not long ago held in Nanjing 2025 World Intelligent Manufacturing Conference, Exton three mechanical arms such as dynamic dancers around the glass high-speed rotation, the cup of wine but did not spill a drop; DuoLun science and technology robots like a competent "traffic commander", and the intersection of the real-time signal linkage, accurate command of the traffic; in the Silicon Age "dexterous hand" pinch silk thread, accurate through the needle hole of the embroidery needle - these are not sci-fi movie clips, but the Nanjing robotics industry's "daily performance".
That's right! This is the 2025 Nanjing robotics "family" collectively handed over the "scene answer sheet". From January to October this year, Nanjing robotics core industry revenue year-on-year growth of 21.5%, is expected to increase year-on-year growth of more than 20%; industrial robot production of more than 40,000 units, a year-on-year growth of more than 30%. bright data behind the Nanjing robotics industry from technological breakthroughs to the ecological prosperity of the butterfly change.
01 System building: from "single-point breakthrough" to "system winning"
The rise of Nanjing's robotics industry began with the deep plowing of a number of benchmark enterprises and became a synergistic layout of the whole chain.
leading enterprisesExtonContinuously maintain China's industrial robot market shipments first, promote China's industrial robot market localization rate, support domestic manufacturers to expand the market share to 56.2%. not only to "double ten billion" (own revenue and drive the industry chain ecological each up to ten billion) goal, but also in the Nanjing industrial strength of the city. In the "1+4+6" promotion system, it plays the role of "leading goose" and promotes upstream and downstream collaboration in the industry chain.
Another giantHuichuan Technologies Co., Ltd.Nanjing Base Phase II project was formally signed, the future Nanjing Base will become its robotics and precision parts production and research and development headquarters. At this point, respectively ranked first and third in the national industrial robot market share of Exton and Huichuan technology will jointly constitute a "dual-core engine" for the development of the robotics industry in Nanjing to provide strong traction.
It is encouraging that more "domestic alternatives" are labeled as "Made in Nanjing".Daoda IntelligenceIt took 8 years to develop the first 5.3m/s high-speed overhead crane system (wafer transportation robot) in China, breaking the international monopoly and reducing the cost by 40%;Tuo Dao Medical CenterThe core technology of surgical robots surpassed overseas giants, and the new installed capacity is one of the top two in the country;InksJoint modules support the "heart of motion" of the 60% robot competing in the 2025 World Humanoid Robot Games;Tianchuang RoboticsThe world's first explosion-proof humanoid robot "Tiankui No. 1" and other inspection robots shipped the world's largest cumulative volume;Azure TechnologyThe only domestic quadrupedal robot realizing five layers of motion control, Alpha Robot Dog, is the No. 1 seller in the global consumer market ......
Unlike some cities that focus on a single field, Nanjing's robotics industry has built a "machine + key components + integrated applications" program.Full chain systemIn addition, more than 200 robotics-related enterprises have been gathered. In the humanoid robotics track, Eston Kujo, Yijiahe and other enterprises to launch the entire product at the same time, screws, key modules, dexterous hand and other key components in the field has also emerged process equipment, Inkos, Zhongke Silicon Valley and other iconic enterprises. In addition.ABBTransmission Products Superfactory Project,Deeming RoboticsEast China's production and R&D headquarters projects landed one after another, will continue to enhance the development advantages of Nanjing robotics industry chain.
If the key components enterprise is responsible for the "strong bones", AI technology is the "wisdom brain", the deep integration of artificial intelligence and robotics technology is the key to shaping the next generation of intelligent robots.
Nanjing is the country's first "China Software City", the software and information industry has a unique advantage, coupled with the establishment of the Nanjing Artificial Intelligence Ecological Neighborhood and AI space-time - International Community, will inject a steady stream of "soft power" for the high-quality development of the robotics industry! Soft Power".
The systematic layout combining software and hardware makes Nanjing seize the first opportunity in the wave of embodied intelligence. The Nanjing Action Plan for the Development of Robotics Industry with Body Intelligence (2025-2027) clearly puts forward that, within three years, more than five whole machine mass production enterprises will be cultivated, 150 industrial chain enterprises will be induced, and 50 large-scale applications will be formed, which highlights the ambition of "standard-setting" from "technology-following" to "standard-setting". "standard-setting" ambition.
02 Ecological Energy Fusion: A "Two-Way Run" Between Government and Markets
If the whole chain layout is the Nanjing robotics industry "hard skeleton", then the government and the market resonance, is for this skeleton injected into the vivid "vitality", Nanjing builds a government-guided and market-led "rainforest ecology".
In March this year, Nanjing set up the Robotics Industry Attack Office, with "policy supply - enterprise cultivation - project attraction - scenario building - results transformation" closed-loop service chain, through the policy landing "the last kilometer". 1-10 From January to October, the proportion of billion-dollar projects in the 21 attracted projects exceeded 50%; more than 20 "Ning Gong Pin Push" supply and demand docking meetings contributed to the whole chain of cooperation; robotics eco-block, humanoid robotics sharing factories and other innovation carriers to start the construction of the industry to provide fertile ground for the development of the industry.
Deeper ecological integration occurs between "industry, academia, research and utilization". Strong scientific and educational resources are the advantageous endowment of Nanjing, how to transform them into industrial momentum?
Nanjing's answer is: to strengthen the transformation of results, through the "research" and "production" of the blockage. At present, the city robotics industry attack office has full coverage docking 20 key universities and institutes in the field of robotics, collecting results of more than 130, tracking 27 R & D projects above the provincial level.
As one of the earliest units engaged in robotics research in China, theInstitute of Robot Sensing and Control Technology, Southeast UniversityDeep plowing in the field of robot sensing and control technology for more than thirty years, the core research direction covers space robot teleoperation, force haptic human-robot interaction, medical rehabilitation robots and so on. "The team has deep cooperation with Nanjing Exton, Yijiahe, Tianchuang and other enterprises, and the field of cooperation covers special robots for electric power inspection, medical rehabilitation robots, heavy-duty industrial robots, human-machine interaction technology, etc., and the mode of cooperation includes technology transfer, project cooperation, and incubation of new research and development institutions, etc." Professor Song Aiguo, director of the Institute of Robot Sensing and Control Technology, School of Instrumentation Science and Engineering, Southeast University, told reporters. In Nanjing, university teachers put forward cutting-edge ideas, research institute teams and enterprises to cooperate in the development, the formation of "1+1>2" multiplier effect, accelerating the industrialization of scientific research results.
"Our R&D, production and market are closely integrated to pull innovation with practical applications." Zixin Xiong, a software engineer at Sinosilicone, said.Zhongke Siliki (geological period covering approx 5000 years since the last ice age)Originated from the research team of Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Casia Hand developed by the company is the only series of products covering multiple application scenarios in the world. The rapid development of the company epitomizes Nanjing's efforts to transform the "scientific research peak" of the national laboratory into an "industrial plateau".
03Scene breaks the circle: from "laboratory" to "living field".
The vitality of the robot industry lies in moving from the laboratory to the living field. In the "Su Chao" field, it is the enthusiastic guide of the "Wisdom Wishers"; in the Niusoushoushan scenic area, it is the silent cleaning of the "beautician"; in the Nanjing South Railway Station, it is the solution to the charging problem of the "good helper" - the robot is being integrated into the daily fireworks in various forms. "Robots are integrating into Nanjing's daily life with various postures.
Nanjing's scene innovation has always been closely linked to the "people's immediate needs". In the seven bridges urn wetland park, multi-modal robots to complete the guide, security, maintenance of the whole chain of services; in the Nanjing Municipal Health Insurance Center, intelligent health insurance service robot, the cumulative total of more than 76,700 pieces of health insurance business. "Previously charging to find piles everywhere, now charging machine to find their own over, too convenient!" In Nanjing South Railway Station, Ms. Li, the owner of the car who just finished experiencing the intelligent charging service, lamented repeatedly.
These scene innovations are not accidental, but based on Nanjing's deep grasp of the robot's "existing capabilities - application direction - scene demand", as well as nearly 80 "capabilities list" and the "demand opportunity list" two-way docking mechanism of 600 robots. It is based on Nanjing's deep understanding of the existing capabilities, application directions and scenario needs of robots, as well as the precision of the two-way docking mechanism of nearly 80 "capability lists" and 600 robots "demand opportunity lists".
Enterprises feel this most deeply. "The city's Robotics Industry Attack Office not only helps us dock policies, but more crucially, opens up application scenarios." Dr. Cheng Min, chairman of Tuo Dao Medical, lamented that this enabled the domestic surgical robots to quickly enter major hospitals in Nanjing, collect clinical feedback, and accelerate product optimization.
04Facing the Challenge: Staying Awake and Determined in the "Wind"
When more and more robots from the production line into the living field, Nanjing to the development of the eyes of the more far-reaching future.
The "Recommendations of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on the Formulation of the Fifteenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development" explicitly proposes to promote the use of physical intelligence as a new point of economic growth.
In the face of a new round of "wind mouth", Nanjing robotics industry has been aimed at a deeper and wider field. Yijiazhuang and Mylander Medical join hands to point to the cutting-edge cross-cutting field of "brain-computer interface + body intelligence"; Exton takes the lead in the creation ofIntelligent Robotics Innovation Center of Jiangsu ProvinceSkytron Robotics Approved for ConstructionJiangsu Province with body intelligence special robot data acquisition training centerIn addition, we are making every effort to promote the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation in the field of robotics.
"The Jiangsu Province Embodied Intelligent Robotics Innovation Center, which was just completed last month, opens up our infrastructure to all kinds of organizations in the province and even across the country to realize the sharing of common technologies. We hope to cultivate the province's upstream, midstream and downstream industrial chain in this largest future main channel." Li Yuanping, general manager of Nanjing Exton Kujo Technology Co., Ltd. and consultant expert of Jiangsu Dinghui Embodied Intelligent Robot Innovation Center, introduced, "At present, the Embodied Intelligent Training Ground has been preliminarily completed and put into use. The next step will be to promote the construction of test certification platform and inspection and testing platform in the innovation center to accelerate the commercialization of embodied intelligence."
Of course, Nanjing's robotics industry development is still facing some practical problems, such as the core chip, high-end sensors and other "neck" link still need to break through, the relevant talent gap needs to be resolved. In this regard, the policy level, Nanjing will robot core parts and components into the municipal science and technology special projects, to special support to promote technological breakthroughs; enterprise level, Exton is working with universities and colleges to continue to research, directed at cracking the chip arithmetic, intelligent perception and other technological bottlenecks; talent, Nanjing continues to strengthen the protection of talent this year has been through the special attraction mechanism to absorb a number of leading talent.
The road of industrial development is never a 100-meter sprint, but a long-distance run to test the determination and wisdom.From the research laboratories under Zijinshan Mountain to the smart factories along the Yangtze River, Nanjing's "science and education gene" and "industrial resilience" converge here. From the scientific research laboratory under Zijinshan Mountain to the intellectual factories on the bank of Yangtze River, Nanjing's "science and education gene" and "industrial toughness" are blended here. In the future, this "City of Smart Manufacturing" will surely make a more brilliant trajectory in the blue sea of robotics industry.
