专利视角下工业机器人领域的技术机会分析

Technological opportunity analysis of industrial robots from the perspective of patents

工业机器人是涉及众多技术领域的复杂性产品,技术多样性加速了其技术融合与产业发展。本文基于技术传递系统(TDS)理论提供的技术机会理论分析框架,通过专利文献的数据分析从技术、竞争者、潜在市场三个方面来探索技术机会。通过技术主题词的共现分析发掘工业机器人领域的技术融合模式,并识别出核心技术;通过专利权人的信息分析来识别出具备竞争力的国家和机构;通过同族专利的信息分析海外专利布局态势,进而明晰各国在工业机器人领域的潜在市场战略定位。本文研究结果对于我国工业机器人技术及产业发展提供有益的政策依据。

Industrial robot technologies are diverse enough to various fields. This kind of variety serves technology convergence and development. We explored the technology opportunity using TDS theory, combined with patent data from three aspects, in- eluding technology, competitors and potential markets. The technology convergence pattern and core technologies in industrial ro- bot field are found by co - occurrence analysis. The technology competitive countries and institutions are identified by analyzing the patentees. The potential markets and strategy position are explored by analyzing the overseas distribution of patent fanfilies. China has been the most attractive robot market on the world. The results of our study are expected to contribute to discovering technology opportunities in the field of industrial robots to lead innovation and development.
