Beijing: Demand for
industrial robots in China is expected to hit 32,000 units by
2014, making it the world's largest robotics consumer nation.
According to the International Federation of Robotics, the sector
has gained momentum amid higher labour costs.
At a major international fair in the country, which closed
Saturday, China's robot manufacturers showcased their models to
the world.
The five-day exhibition attracted over 1,800 participants, Xinhua
reported. Chinese robots are exported to overseas markets such as
the US, Canada, Russia and India.
