中國機器人成長的過程也是中國經濟發(fā)展的歷程。本書通過大量人物回憶和紀實訪談,記述了以“中國機器人之父”蔣新松和王天然、曲道奎為代表的科技知識分子研發(fā)機器人的曲折經歷,同時對智能制造這一當今世界頗受關注的高科技領域在戰(zhàn)略層面和科技倫理層面進行了深入的剖析和思考,就諸多全球面臨的問題提出了前沿性觀點。中國科研技術人員從夾縫求生到征戰(zhàn)市場,一路闖關攻堅,終將中國機器人打造成大國重器,把“中國制造”推向“中國智造”。 China’s robots have grown alongside China’s economy. With a large number of recalled stories and documentary interviews, this book describes the bumpy journey of how Chinese technical intellectuals, represented by the “father of Chinese robots”, Jiang Xinsong, Wang Tianran and Qu Daokui developed the machines. The book also analyses and reflects on smart manufacturing—a high-tech sector attracting enormous attention from strategic and ethical perspectives—and, thus, proposes forward-looking ideas on multiple global issues. Chinese researchers and technicians have struggled to make breakthroughs despite the great difficulties experienced in introducing Chinese robots to the market and have transformed robots into competitive creations. They have upgraded “made in China” to “smart manufacturing in China”.
