Wuhan Vulcan Hill Hospital is a specialized hospital built in Wuhan Staff Sanatorium with reference to the model of Beijing Xiaotangshan Hospital during the fight against SARS in 2003, concentrating on patients with new coronavirus pneumonia.

The hospital has a total construction area of 33,900 square meters, with 1,000 beds, an intensive care ward, a critical care ward, a general ward, and auxiliary departments such as infection control, testing, special consultation and radiological diagnosis, and no outpatient clinic. Its construction area is equivalent to half of Beijing's "Water Cube" "field hospital", but it was designed from the beginning to completion, but only 10 days.

A video of the construction site of Vulcan Mountain Hospital was released on Twitter, and the video has been viewed more than 5 million times abroad. Foreign netizens commented.

"Only China can build a 1,000-bed hospital in 7 days. If this were in the UK, it would take 7 years just to decide whether to build a hospital, and the cost would still be the same."

"This would take 4 years to build in Toronto, and the Chinese only need 6 days?"

"If it were in India, we would have been talking about it because there are many, many things to discuss."

"It took us four years to decide where to build it, and whether to build it."

"The pit next to my house took years to fill."

"God created the universe in seven days. I figured God must be a Chinese guy.

The famous South African talk show host Trevor Noah (Trevor Noah) in his show also spit, this time in the United States to apply for the installation of a cable TV, estimated that people are still not door-to-door.

In addition to the speed of construction, we can see from the photos and videos exposed inside after the construction is completed, the hospital facilities are completely and very advanced. It even includes intelligent robots, which are able to perform the work of delivering labs, drugs, etc. respectively according to the hospital's needs, replacing simple but labor-intensive process-oriented work in the medical care process with robots, reducing the workload of medical staff and avoiding the possibility of infections among medical staff on the way to delivery.

Behind the widespread use of robots in epidemic prevention and control is the rapid development of China's manufacturing and intelligence industries. As the largest consumer of robots, China's robotics industry has gradually extended from industrial manufacturing to intelligent services with the development of big data and artificial intelligence AI.

In the medical field, the demand for robot applications is growing rapidly. In the course of this epidemic prevention and control, products such as interrogation robots, temperature measurement robots and disinfection robots have been more widely used in recent years. Through this new crown pneumonia epidemic, people see the broader application prospects of robots in the medical field. As more companies and organizations embrace robots and more talent and capital are invested in the robotics industry, robots are expected to play a more important role in people's lives.

In terms of robotics industry trends, the intelligent upgrade of China's manufacturing industry is seen as an important grip to unleash China's huge productivity. It is estimated that by 2023, China's industrial robotics industry will reach $15.6 billion, approaching about half the size of the global industrial robotics industry. The Global Industry Vision 2025 (GIV 2025), published by Huawei, predicts that by 2025, every 10,000 manufacturing employees will be working with 103 robots.

Beyond industrial robots, there is also a growing demand for robots in the service sector. The biggest pain points facing the food service and delivery services industries in both developed and developing countries are the difficulty in recruiting workers and the dramatic increase in labor costs. Many companies are having to reduce staffing levels, which will reduce service quality and accelerate turnover. The purpose of investing in robots is not to replace people, but to free personnel from heavy, repetitive and simple mechanical labor, and to provide quality service to guests more efficiently. In the future, people will work in tandem with machines, and improving productivity and service quality is the ultimate goal.

It is reported that several companies in China are already developing automatic food delivery robots, which have been put into application in restaurants such as Haidilao.

The China Robotics Industry Development Report 2019, published by the World Robot Conference, shows that the global robotics market size is expected to reach $29.41 billion in 2019, with an average growth rate of about 12.3% from 2014 to 2019. Among them, China's robotics market size is expected to reach $8.68 billion, with an average growth rate of about 20.9% from 2014 to 2019, which is higher than the global average during the same period. According to industry sources, China is expected to become the world's largest market for robotics applications in 2030, with an industry size of $26 billion, accounting for at least 1/3 of the world.

Among them, the performance of Chinese industrial robots shines. Data show that in 2018, China's industrial robot production reached 148,000 units (sets), accounting for more than 38% of the global output. Moreover, among the three core components, domestic independent brand controller products are still slightly lacking in terms of response speed, ease of use and stability in software, but the hardware platform has been on par with foreign products in terms of processing performance and long-term stability, and the speed volatility index of some servo products has been lower than 0.1%, and the technology gap at home and abroad has started to show a trend of shrinking.

According to the International Federation of Robotics, China has become the world's largest industrial robot application market for six consecutive years under the environment of global economic slowdown. The density of industrial robots has been increasing, and China's industrial robot density reached 137 in 2018, an increase of 34.3% compared with 2017, far exceeding the global average for the same period, injecting new vitality into high-quality economic development.

The development of robots will also bring about the development of related industries. In addition to the traditional mold and hardware industries, related spare parts, wiring harnesses and harness protection sleeves will also usher in new opportunities. The life of spare parts, harnesses and harness protection sleeves will determine the service life of robots, after all, software data, intelligent behavior patterns, etc. can be updated at any time through the network, and higher wear resistance spare parts, harnesses and harness protection sleeves can meet the supply needs of robot enterprises.
