The South China Morning Post has reported that China has published a new ‘Robot +’ Application Action Plan laying out 10 industries where it wants to use more robots, as the country rushes to automate sectors from manufacturing to agriculture after recording its first population decline in six decades.
Under the recently released action plan by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other government agencies, China will accelerate the application of robotics in manufacturing, agriculture, logistics, energy, healthcare, education and other areas.
