Innovation and R&D: a view from the intelligence manufacturing

Abstract

Innovation policy impact on a large, population weighted manufacturing SMEs, especially the use of robots. By focusing on the innovation and the R&D of the SMEs, the relationship between the use of the robot and the intelligence manufacturing are reported. Also a detailed robot application report in the SMEs in China and worldwide is present. Governments have given increased attention and resources to SME development, however, it is a continuing challenge to encourage SMEs to improve the innovation ability in China. Expanding the capabilities of modern industrial robots to include cognitive skills is a possible way for the SMEs to improve the innovation.
