"Though the domestic scientific community has been researching robots for many years, the robot industry is still in its infancy," said Hao Yucheng, deputy director of the China Robot Industry Alliance.

"The bulk of enterprises have no intellectual properties, talents, and cash. They are just entering the sector with enthusiasm and doing repetitive jobs like assembling robots instead of making robots," he said.

In 2014, China bought over 57,000 industrial robots, but less than 30 percent of them are from domestic suppliers, data from the China Robot Industry Alliance shows.
