Future of Industrial Robotics in China

Only a few weeks after the landing of the first Chinese robotic vehicle on the moon, we wanted to take a look at how robotics is growing in China.

In fact, more and more leading companies are reducing the number of employees on the production line and turning instead to industrial robots. Since the manufacturers of brands like Apple, Microsoft and Sony are present in China, we wanted to take a closer look at the projects that are going on there.
